well it's not necessarily wired WRONG just different from mine.

However most people wire the leds and halos with the parking lights (which come on 1st click)

You can fix it if you wish

if you want HID then get the expensive ones from eBay the ones that are like $400 or $500 just make sure they SAY that they are for HID

TRUST ME, IF THEY WILL WORK, THEY WILL FLAUNT IT

I don't like the inner 3 LEDS either, Otherwise they look pretty good. There is another Black style I have seen on EBAY I like better though.

mine are not hid just like c tripp here, but you can get them that are compatible, but it will cost ya...you can just swap out the low beam bulbs to get an hid look...but my lights are from k2 motors here in southern cali.

If you want to go HID just get a retrofit done out of some OEM tsx, s2k, etc. headlights. It will be more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

As for OP, both are far from my taste, but it's not my car. :shrugs:

How did you do the wiring? My friend has a set, but they aren't hooked up right. Did you have to re-arrange the lights the halos run all of the time? I hope you understand what I'm asking; if need be, I'll try to ask my questions differently.

^ you might be able to connect your halos and LEDs with your running lights, but mine are hooked up so their on when my parking lights are on and my low and high beams


- this might be possilbe but i wouldn't be able to tell you exactly how to go about accomplishing it

Thank you! You answered my question exactly how I meant to ask it. Do you have any pics on how you wired it, or could you describe to me your set-up?

i dont have any pictures, but...

- i never changed my running lights (the brights) are still on when i'm driving with lights off

- the only time my LEDs and halos are on is when i turn the switch to the 1st or 2nd click

- I am thinking of disabling my DRLs so that i can turn off the low beams and only show the LEDs and halos.

it's really bright, the light beam travels a lot further because of the focus on the lens

Have you thought about running a switch under the dash to disable the DRLs? I know it may be a lot more work than you intend on doing, but I figured you would want to have that option of having the them on or not on the go.
