I got mine from jlevisw.com. I wouldnt say the install was hard, its more like time consuming. Just be careful with the rings, they're really easy to break. As for wiring, you just need to know how to splice wires and connect wires. I had mine for over a 1 1/2 years now and it still works fine.

i got mine from Oznium and i was very happy with them. they are easy to brake trust me on that. but they are real easy to put in. the hardest part is taking apart the headlights but after that the wiring is not so hard. im not all that good at doin all that and i did not have that hard of a time. it took me about 4 hours to do all of it on a saturday. there is a really good DIY on here on how to do it all that is what i used and it came out good.

honestly it was not that bad. its really easy to run and to wire everything as long u know how to do alittle wiring then you should be fine. the hardest part for me was baking apart the headlights but once you do the first one its a cake from there.

You would need a relay for that. Good idea tho.

Disclaimer:
I'm not responsible if you ***** your car. If just trying to help. Do at your own risk!

Okay. This requires logic and keen observation. Here is what I did to mine: (Do you think I'll just make a separate thread with all wiring diagrams?)

Angel Eye Wiring

You'll need:

Two automotive relays from any electronic or automotive store.
Wires
Electrical Tape
20A Fuse
Fuse Holder



Remember that the RED and BROWN wires are positive (+) and the BLACK wires are negative (-).

The BLUE and GREEN wires are positive (+) too but it goes in between components.

The CYAN wires are the WHITE wires you'll see dangling from the transformers with a terminal at the end. Just connect the angel eyes to them.

-------------------------------------------------------------

What happens to this circuit is:

The angle eyes won't turn on when only the parking lights are on. This prevents the angel eyes from turning on and off together with any aftermarket alarm. They will only turn on when you have your key on the ACC switch and when the parking lights are on. Thus, making the angel eyes turn on when you're keys are inserted to ACC. I hope that made sense...


-------------------------------------------------------------

Angel Eye Wiring with Switch

You can use this circuit if you wish to turn off your angel eyes whenever you want. Still has the same principle but a Toggle Switch is inserted inline with the ACC (+) wire.

You'll need:

The same items as the circuit above. Just buy a toggle switch.



-------------------------------------------------------------

PM me if you have questions. I hope this helps.

I think you can use the relay and switch provided. You can wire it like this:

The fogs only turn on if you turn your parking lights and switch on.

hmm...i think i understand. i was planning on wiring them so that i can flip the foglight switch and the angel eyes and foglights would both turn on.
