help please!!!
As usual nobody sent me instructions and I need some help on this one. Just got my new halo projector foglights...look awesome. Anyways they are slightly complicated...but not that badly...

on that link you can see a pic of its wiring...it has an adapter to plug directly into the stock wiring...but then it has a misc red and black wire on the back too...my best guess is power and ground...but what for and where would i hook it up to?
please help if you know!!!!

ok if you take your head lights out and on your parking light (side corner) on the bulb theres 2 wires..hook the red up to the one thats not straight black ( if i remember correctly) and thats power..your ground you can put on your fog light wire..

ok so i should splice them then...correct?....otherwise i wont have a halo but only have the center bulb ready
im just wondering because im running out of time today and i might need to just install them now and finish the wiring later

not worried about mud and water...its a street truck

but even with them off, they look sweet on the truck
and just to make sure im doing this right....i connect (splice) the red wire off the new fog to the positive stock fog power...and the new black fog ground to the stock fog wire ground...which i believe is also black
that makes more sense to me then going to the side marker, because the red and black wire is only like 6 inches long and it would never reach...

Connect the halo power wires to the turn signal/side marker circuit. Connect the foglight circuit to the stock foglight wiring. That way when you turn on the parking lights/headlights, the halo's will come on. When you turn the fog lights on using the stock switch, the foglights will come on.
