Please help a new guy out with halo lighting question

[robwcormack]

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

I just got some projector lights with halos and I have searched all over for different ways of wiring. I want them to be used as my DRLs but be on all the time. What I did was spliced the wiring into the DRL wiring and took the bulbs out of the DRL housing. Then I used the all on headlight mod method and ran diodes from the 85 DRL pin to the 85 Lo and Hi beam pins.

Everything works, but my question is. . . Having an 05 I know the running lights apparently have a pulse voltage that causes the bulbs to blow. I did notice that when I pulled the bulbs the sockets were charred a little. I don't want to mess up my new halos and LEDs so I am wondering if my method of wiring was safe. And if not, what suggestion anyone might have to be able to have them on all the time. Thanks for the help

Let's take this over to Electrical and see what the lighting gurus there have to suggest.

The Halo's LEDS will not last long....been there and done that, I bought some DRL Leds that I hooked up to my switch voltage. They are on everytime the ignition is turned on...kinda cool at night but it is a waste. However some people think it is cool. I am on a completely different set of LED for my OEM and they said they are using a cap to keep the voltage stable...I Call BS as I don't think it would work but i bought a set anyway to see how they look. So far no issues. I would take your halo wire to the fuse and use a ignition circuit......
