Default Halo light install

Finally my new projector HD's came in I have a question I they have halos and LEDs I want to hook them up so I can turn them on without hds on I was going to go the parking light/turn signal but would this cause them to blink also (which I don't want) or would I be better off going to the front side marker light? I really don't want to hook them up independently to a separate switch

I just bought some too...haven't got to mess with them yet...they look sweet...I know what your talking about the led wires. I think we can run them to the side marker lights and they will come on when running lamps are truned on. I'll post pic's when done.

I installed mine last night...they look sweet...what I did was I wired the HALO and LED's all togeather and spliced into the side marker light for the power...they come on with the parking lights and you can also turn the fogs on... I then replaced the clear side marker buld with an orange 1...I bought the black ones my truck is black...it looks bad *** IMO...I'll post pic's when I get my Grill installed.

They are brighter than stock head lamps...its a 2 bulb set up...1 for low beams and 1 for hi. They are not HID's ... its a more focused beam...you don't lose alot of light to the far sides...the High beam is not a projector...it looks like a reg bulb...I'll post pic's soon...waiting on my Grill.
