04 EB, just installed projector/halo/led headlights and the halo aren't running. Does anyone have step by step diagram/photo so I can redo them? Had 3 sets of pos/neg wires to hook up so I just tied all grounds together to splice then all positives together to splice. Need help

not too familiar with them but my idea to test them is make sure the ground is good and disconnect the power wire to the Halos and get a piece of wire and make a jumper to the battery to make sure the lights themselves work... basically go straight to the source and bypass everything and if they dont work directly to battery then you know it is the light and if they work it is something in the wiring.... just my .02 hope it can help

Try to keep everything in one thread. Here is my response to the other thread. You need to splice them into the running lights, unless you want them to flash on and

Yes, splice them into the parking running lights. Diagram shows "BN" as running light wire (which I guess is brown), while white/light blue is the turning signal wire. Black is ground.

Also, there shouldn't be a problem with crimping all of them together. Do you know what each set of wires does? When you hook them up to the battery tomorrow, label/remember what each set of wires does. You have LED and Halos, right? What is the third set of wires?

Halo light alway hook into your parking light, so when you run your parking light the halo are on, that way they are on in all position except the off position. Hope this help.
