ok so i got s set of black prjector h4 halo housings, HID bulbs and the conversion kit, i hooked the conversion kit up fine, it was a lot easier than i thought actually, the only part im stuck on is the halos, the projectors have 2 wires coming out of the back(one white, one black) and they go to a small blue bulb in the bottom of the light, im assuming thats the halo bulb, so the question is, where do i hook this wire up to? do i need to get a relay and hook it up to a seperate switch or does it jack into another existing wire? the housings came with no directions what so ever, anyone who has halos or has worked on them before and can help please do, thanks

that would go to the parking lights or to a switch which ever u perfer. its all up to u. if want them on with the parking lights then do that if u want them to be on when the truck is on u can do that too.

yes, the corner lights. i have never figured out why they call them parking lights either. kinda the way they call "apartments" apartment's, there together lol.

yea i actually noticed yesterday that it looks like the blue might be going away already towards the bottom of the bulb, where it screws in, i see more yellow light than i rmemeber seeing before but whatever, i havent used them by them selves since i hooked em up much anyway

L-Rolla yours are completely different to mine, My Sig pic is the parkers, which is a ring around a projector lens that has 2 LED bulbs in the bottom that put the light all the way around the ring, thats it off at day,

mine takes a h7 (single beam bulb) but mine must be stronger than urs, i smashed the front of my car in and although they were angled retarded after, they stayed solid?
i have a h7 in blue and white, the blue is absolute shit, cant see like 50 meters in front of me, the white is better, but not good by any standards,
(these are just hooked upto my low beam headlight switch in place of the stock one, the results would differ if u ran a xenon kit)
