so i have installed aftermarket headlights with halos i bought online should be plug and play right? right. well has 2 extra wires. obv a 12v and a ground for the led halos. i installed plugged them in, wired the extra wires to my side markers. read on the forum it was okay to do. Anywho moving forward. now i click keys forward no beeping anymore. headlights start bright then die dim super fast. getting a buzzing noise from under hood starts slow then goes crazy. as well as clicking from behind my radio. taillight wont turn on. turn signals dont work. any clue what it could be? i already changed relays besides flasher relay. all fuses check out fine and dandy. only other thing i did recently was install turbo timer which was easy. i had the adapter cable for it. hooked up to e brake easy and made sure every single possible ground was clean clear and grounded to the best it could be. im lost as of now.
 
The side marker lights are wired together in series with your front turn signal light. By connecting the lights into the turn signal circuit, you created a different path to ground.

The halo lights should be wired separately using a relay to avoid overtaxing the turn signal circuit.
