    Yup. Still can't decide if I'm going to wire them to the parking lights or put them on their own switch. Probably their own switch.

    Yeah... I disabled my daytime running lights. Hated them, mainly because of my nasty ass yellow headlights I had.

    also how do you disable your running lights? I have to machine buff mine every month or so because they start to fog up from oxidization.:(

    Oh come on.. you need some nice new projectors to go in those shiny new headlights!! :D

    These are halos, from Conman117's build. This pic convinced me that halos would look good in my year headlights.
    [​IMG]

    I'll probably wire them to the parking lights at first just to get them working and then I'll put them on their own switch later, unless I like them on the first click.

    On my year it's super simple, just undo a plug to the right of the battery. On yours I believe you have to cut a wire under the dash.

    Here's a pic of the plug and wire under the dash:

    Very interesting post and good points m3bassman... do you have a picture of your rig with 32s from the side? What're you running 275/75/16s?
