how did you wire the harness into the truck, and you setting up your halos to turn off when lights or on via relay?

I ran the wire harness across the front of the engine bay. There are existing wires and cables running across just in front of the main fuse panel. Zip tied the harness to it. The relay box is mounted to the right of the battery. I can snap a few pics and post those as well. The halos I used in line wire taps and tapped into side marker lights. So they will turn on whenever they are on. I don't have daytime running lamps and wanted the ability to turn on/off the halos separate from projectors.

Anyone following this thread and awaiting update. I apologize I was on vacation and then found out one of the ballasts was bad. It just kept buzzing and eventually quit working. TRS is shipping a new one to me under warranty.

sadly they got a lot of bad items and people are always complaining that there stuff breaks. ZGoodthing they will replace this, but still dont give people warm fuzzies when they got such a high rate of defective items

Yeah I know the rep I was speaking w/ said ballasts had most issues. They also sent me the incorrect harness the first time and a bad bulb.
