    What wiring harness did you get? I like the halos on with the running lights but didn't know if it's a separate option.

    Interesting idea about turning the halos off while the headlights are on. I might want to look into that...

    Yeah you're not supposed to have them on while the headlights are on. I didn't want one more switch to think about, plus I always turn running lights on now to be a poser with my raptor lights. Now it will be all nice and easy. It's essentially a relay built into a nice labeled harness.

    Why can't you have them on when the headlights are on? Maybe that's why one of my drivers went bad.... I have them wired were they are on as long as the key is on. Thanks for the link that's exact what I need.

    Something about them melting the solder in the halos?
    Plus why waste your halos lifespan hours when you're not gonna see them

    If you melt your solder youve gone some utter POS halos. Halos draw all of ~300milliamps. Which is ~3.5 watts. Hardly a load on them at all.

    Halo Life span (again assuming quality products) is also in the range of 50k-100k hours of usage. 50k hours is 5.7 years of usage fyi :)

    But i still dont run my all that often. I actually use them more in the daytime (i run my headlights on 90% of the time) than at night

    I think the point is there isn't a reason for them to be on with the headlights.

    Got all my stuff... just need to make my way to the west side to get my damn headlights from the taco of the north west...

    Funny story, I went to buy replacement headlights for my current set at O'reilys (as you remember they ruined my flywheel) and the dude wouldn't stop trying to sell me HIDs. FOR MY STOCK HOUSINGS! Lol...

    Starting to worry that my 35w 5500k are gonna be blue. They're so close to 6000 :eek:
    Also Idk how many of you remember my previous incident with headlight painting. I used plastic primer and then rustoleum semi gloss. It bubbled instantly.
    How should I apply the BSP spray paint? Or honestly is it not worth my trouble and instead just use the semi gloss krylon no prime stuff that works perfect for BHLM.

    Also one last thing. I was planning on leaving the shrouds chrome like my Mama's headlights for contrast. But theyre so big and with the dual amber halos I'm considering painting them. Just black or something a little lighter? They're a badass shroud, I'd like to be able to see them.

    Get in it, come over and get your headlights. That car is fast enough to get here in about 45 minutes?

    Oh it's a convertible alright. With chrome wheels, a visor hanging from the rear view mirror, and a license plate frame that says "I'm not spoiled, I just get what I want"
