I know this has probably been answered but I can't find it...
I finally got my halo/projector headlights for my 95 and was happy to see they were just plug in, no wire splicing or anything needed. But then I saw that there were two red wires coming out the bottom and the halo part doesn't light up. Now if it was a red and a black I'd know whether to power or ground them, but it's two red.
I'm pretty sure I've tried every combo of power/ground between the two and none of them have worked.
Any ideas?
 
Wait what? Two red wires comming out the bottom? It should be a red and black one. And since its an LED... it can only work one way. Take a peice of electrical tape, and tape one of them just so you know its a seperate one, then try them out with the area around you really dark, prefibly night... cause the LED's inside our halo's suck... And try. Those are the power wires, if they still dont work, your headlights are damaged. The LED's aren't wired up. You can fix it, or you can easily ship them back for another set.

Second picture shows a Halo on in the shade... you can't really tell its on!
 
Yes, two red. That's why I was confused.
Thanks, I'll wait until it's dark out and try again.
 
Yeah, LED's will only work one way... so one of those wires has to be a ground...

You didn't get one of those LED/Halo headlights for the 2ga did you? Cause they might have a seperate power strip for the LED's than the Halo...
 
I ran the led wiring to my fog lights which were taken out by previous owner.
Though I regret doing that, since I learned fogs turn on only when headlights are on, so the halos are canceled out.

InfiniteGSX:
Did you run the halo wiring to a switch of some sort?
 
I just hooked them up to my Parking Lights. But you can switch them any way you want.

What I plan on doing, is since I am a little rice...I have blue neons for my interior (under the seats and dash, thats it. And some blue neon underglow... I'm going to wire all the show off lights like the halo's, the neons and whatever else I got goin on for show off on one power rail, then grab a emergency light button from U Pull it, and install it in the spare spot in the center of the dash and have that turn everything on... Call me rice or not... My car is stock body... and I'm repainting it black with black interior... I just love the way it looks if done right.
