    Yes and no. They all look the same (same color wires) but certain ones have certain boxes; size of halos matter. But it's all internal

    Is the white wire supposed to represent the white halo and the red for the amber and black for ground on the switchback? The company i bought them from, one of the employees told me that the white wire from the switchback box needs to be tapped into the turn signal positive (its the yellow wire on the truck side of the harness) and the red wire tapped into the parking light positive (green wire on truck side of harness) and black wire goes to ground (white and black wire on truck side of the harness) Is this correct?

    Thanks for this. I ran into the same exact issue.
    Did you end up running the wires from the tail lights?

    I was thinking about trying the mirror wires.
