hey, ok so im am getting projector headlights for my car, and the halos, can hook into your parking lights so they turn on, but i want mine on pretty much all the time, so what i was wondering was how i would wire the halos up, so that whenever my radio is on, they are on, or if i remote start my car they are on. but i do not want the power to back feed to each other, so im sure i will have to use relays, but not for sure how to wire them. if you could help that would be great. thanks.

Wire them to your parking lights and just turn on your parking lights all the time. Why is that so hard?

Then run a seperate circuit, install a fuse, and put a switch in the cabin of the car.

Why not just clip your parking lights and solder them onto your halos. Then you don't have the ugly ambers and your parking lights turn on your halos.

Believe it or not, despite the useless nature of parking lights, they are required to pass inspection a lot of times. They are, after all, an OE part.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention that..

In my state they never check those things, just read your codes and then you're done. If they actually check your lights and such, then just hook them back up for a day.
