Heey how'd you know i have those. You sold em to me didnt ya, i probably forgot.

Yah assuming they're the same thing( i cant see pics from work) the halo is seperately wired in using a simple switch(and if you're cool like me, no fuse and a fire extinguisher in the back seat) and some wire. The halos look freakin sweet if i park it and walk away, it looks like the truck is sortof glaring at you. You can't drive down the road with halos and headlights on though, or at least i couldnt see them on my truck.

As to the wiring harness, it plugs in pretty simply to the stock harness, but i secured mine with zip ties because my right headlight kept blinking out. I had to tighten all the connections

Aaron, do you have to plug in the halo ring, or can you just leave it alone and the headlight itself still work?

edit: and does it come with instructions to hook the halos up correctly?

You can leave the halo ring unhooked. Also instructions aren't needed. Basically run a 12 volt hot wire to the cab with an inline fuse, put a switch on, mount the switch. Then run a wire from that switch back out to the halos, and hook that wire to the postive. then run a negative wire from the halos to a ground. It's really really really simple.

I bought mine from another member on this site. I didn't get instructions and managed to do it.
