Yea im using the corner lights only two wires one positive one negative. I spliced them together and nothing came on the corner light bulb worked but no halos, I may need run butt connecters wire splicerd never work well wit me lol. Ill try it again tomorro I may have spliced the + to the - by mix up ? But I do have the mini xenon bulb t10bulb wired ro the halo wires so wen park lights come on halos and mini bulbs come on . 2 wires red and black for halos and 2 wires red and black for mini bulbs, red to red black to black right?i familiar with halo set ups I ran em and wired em to my hondas I had and ran em off the corner park lights . But I did use diff butt connectors also vs. splicers, wen I used splicers on my honda they never worked either . Maybe wrong connectors?

one question , are your halos made of led or ccfl , because if they are made of leds you need to check polarity, invert the + with - never minding the color of wires , if made of ccfl they need to have a small ballast to light them up , can you post a pic of the halos ??

it just that they dont use that kind of sealant on this headlights i believe they just use silicon , try it inserting a knife as i told you all over the edge its easier like that, about the bulbs i used 55w H4 4300k HID's i bought on ebay too , ill sent you the link you just have to tell them the bulb color and size and they will send it to you , i have bought about 10 kits from this guys and none have failed in about 5 years...

this is the link to the store with the halos , i got the white one , have not arrived yet , but they also have red ones , but you need to check which size is the one you need , cause im changing the big one so its 95mm the small one i really dont know the size

and remember every bulb comes with a metal on the side of the bulb ,it has two small clips on the rear of the bulb that you have to lift to take it out. you need to remove that in order to fit it in the projector..

Alrighty, I ordered the Bulbs, as well as the housings you used. Although what you had pictured was the H4-2 bulb. But thanks for all the help. Hopefully next time I ask you for info, it'll be your opinion on my headlights...lol. Let us know when you get your white Halo in.

Gotcha, I figured this was a "Don't use this" instead of a "Use This"... lol. But thanks again. I really like these projectors. You are getting yourself a few followers. Looking good.

you havnt like them yet , cause you are holding them in your hand , when you put them in your jeep you will fall in love with them , im always chasing white suvs and trucks so i can spend the whole way looking to the cutout as it changes color and when i get closer to the vehicle , its awsome..

dont worry , that always happends , because the headlamp metal housing only has place for the headlamp itself , when i did that mood i just remove the socket and used only the wires attached to the bulb , and use some silicon to keep the bulb steady on the headlight , you insert the bulb on the socket and put some silicon around it to keep it where it belongs without the socket..
ps. in my opinion you should leave the headlamp just like that , with only the squared halo , it looks a lot more nice to me ...

U mean if not using the silicone, just leave them there or remove them? The bulb keeps falling out of the socket too, so im obvioysly not gonna illuminate the other mini bulb till fig out wst I gonna do I kno I jus cant go buy new socket like that , maybe similar but not alike, the terminals were bent up inside the socket, I was thinkib lose the bulbs together and leave the rubber sockets there and not wire em up. I was thinkin it looks lil better with just the halos too, cuz I pre lit the other head light up and looked good but seeing just the halo looks good too, so u thinkin just lose the mini bulbs?
