Are Sonars the only 'good' option?

I also need to check, but are there any issues with the Sonar halo's being wired into the parking lights, I've seen some that are probably miswired into turn signals and blink off when someone has their signals on.

Zman, maybe you can clarify this for me... what is the benefit or the reasoning behind wiring your HID low beams to the battery, vs using the stock headlight connector? Does it have anything to do with running the Sonar's? Wondering...don't the Sonar's also connect to the stock headlight connector then split to the low/high bulbs?
It's its bad on the stock harness to have the ballasts attached, when you turn HIDs on they draw a lot of power at once but then drop off to less power than a halogen.

I have the harness hooked up for the high beams only.
