    Yeah try tapping into one of the the ACC fuses in the cab. Pulling cables in there can suck but that maybe your issue. I had mine tapped in inside the cab and it worked well. Not sure what everyone else is doing. Only down side is that your halos will be on the whole time you truck is started. If you don't want that you can add a switch. That's the super strait forward way at least.

    Hmm. That may be an option. I'll post a pic and maybe it'll help point me in the right direction.

    I'll explain further how my halos are wired. The halos are my DTRL. So they are constantly on when the car is on by design and I like it that way.
    The halos are also wired as switchbacks. So they turn from white to orange when my signal/emergencies are on.
    Finally, the halos stay on when the headlights turn on.

    My only issue is when the car is off they just randomly turn on with no power source. Or so it seems that way... *sigh

    Halos look like this:

    Hey Can anyone help with Main Reflector bowl removal (behind light) on a 12-15 headlight: 2 adjuster/retainer screws are free, however there is a joint in the corner that is giving me trouble and I'm concerned I'll break it if I pry on it. Black cylindrical joint with no opening on backside of headlamp(coneshaped on backside)...A lil tech support?

    I got mine wired up to an accessory in the cab. The halos burned out twice so I finally said screw it and un plugged them. Apparently the kind I had were notorious for that. Not sure about the new ones.

    TRS warrantied mine without any questions. Now I got a pair of 80mm 120mm xsb 3.0's but can't find the wherewithal to take my headlights out and rip the existing halos off the shroud. Pretty bummed after spending a decent amount on those halos but TRS warrantied them so I feel like if I have problems taking the existing halos off, TRS will be of help.

    Yeah I had my head lights rebuilt twice so I really don't want to do that again. And it looked so bad ass with them on too.
