Well you will need to tap into the turn signal wiring for the halos. I used a multimeter to determine which was the constant power (not flashing with the turns) but I do not remember what's what. There are three wires going to the turn signals. IIRC, I used the outer two, not the inner one to tap into, but I do not remember the polarity.

For your tails... take off the plastic pieces in the rear. It's pretty obvious, they are the only ones which pop out in the back corner. Take a 10mm socket and unbolt each of two nuts holding the tails in. DO NOT DROP THE NUTS. There is a single wire harness attached to the center bulb. 1/4 turn pops it right out. After the two nuts and the center bulb, they will come right out. Very simple. Install is the opposite. I used to have similar taillights.

Yeah, turn on running lights and test to see which wire is hot.
Tails are a piece of cake the 2nd or 3rd time. lol

Hint: after loosening the 10 mm nuts, remove them by hand. It makes it easier to NOT drop them.

Ground the black and splice tap the red one into the hot running light wire. This will turn on the halos when the running lights are turned on. Hope this helps!
