Halo Fogs Installed!!! Easy!

I purchased these halo fog lights about 8 months ago not really knowing how much modification I would have to do to get them to work on my car. In the mean time my factory fogs got water in them and started looking pretty bad.
So, this weekend I finally went ahead and attemted fate. Turns out it wasn't that hard. Here was how it played out.
Started by:
Pulling the front facia, after doing this a couple of times for other reasons it's pretty easy.
Then pulling the factory fogs out, basically two torques head screws and three clips.
Then sepparating the factory light it's self from the factory housing, this just requires a flat head screwdriver to pop the sides out and pull the adjustment screw off the light.
Then simply bolt the new lights into the factory housing using the supplied bolts and washers. I tightened them enough to be able to adjust the angle later
Then snap and screw the housing back onto the bumper. From there you need to make some wiring modifications but it's nothing more than simple cut and splice basic power and ground. You have to use the supplied transformer for the halo but the main light is wiried right into the factory fog wires.
Not that it really maters but these are now H3 bulbs.

Got the lights from: BLING LIGHTS
Cost me $86.00 plus about two hours worth of time.
I'll try to get some good pics and post later. Only downfall is that they don't have white halos which I would have prefered so I went blue. Looks killer.
PM me any questions, glad to help.

What have you connected the halo lights to ?

I would like to have them connected to the side lights, is this possible ?

Yep!! Just tapped into the corner marker for the halo, works great. So when you turn the parking lights on the halos come on, when you hit the switch for the fog they are both on, however you can no longer see the halos with the fog light on. Only downfall is you can not turn off the halo when the lights are on.... Can't really think of a time when I would need to do that so I didn't worry about it.
