    Wire or epoxy? How did you attach you halos to your retro shroud. And wire it to your blinker?

    Epoxy the halogen bulb to the plastic shroud, I recommend putting the epoxy on the inner lip of the shroud that sits on the bulb. Thats what I did and I managed to get the shroud on without getting any epoxy on the lens.

    As for wiring halos, I'm assuming they're switchbacks? I installed switchbacks like 4 months ago and still to this day haven't been able to get the switchback function to work WITHOUT getting hyper flash. I just have the white wire spliced into the parking light and the orange wire spliced into the signal wire that runs to the DTRL.

    Also when I wired everything in I had to switch the ballasts igniters around, when I initially had everything plugged in only one headlight was working. All connections were secure, but when I swapped the igniters it solved the issue.

    No epoxy as in a quick setting epoxy. You can it from auto zone or o'reillys, it dries clear so you're less likely to notice it in case you do mess up.

    Use a quick drying jb weld to secure the halos. The directions said use wire but that seemed like a PITA

    Search threads I've started, I have a couple that have some tips listed or ways to troubleshoot along the way. You got it bro, the headlight portion took some time but just Be patient and everything should go smooth.
