2001 Honda Civic Halo Headlight Help!

[Mr Pabuya]

I've been reading a lot of information about Halo installation but I never narrowed it down to the specific needs of mine. I hear we are suppose to splice the Halo wires to the Parking Lights, which I want, but I have no idea to splice what. I read that there are 3 color wires for the parking lights on my car for splicing. One red, one black and one green. My Halo wires have only 2 wires, which are both red. I have no idea which is positive or negative but my Halo wires are both RED. Can anyone help me in simplest terms how to go at this.

* I Tried splicing like what I saw on Youtube but my Halo never worked. I tried the Red, the Black and the green with the Halo Wires together. Then eventually I knew I messed up big time when my parking lights did not turn on anymore but I fixed the fuse and its works.

This is not a reply, but rather an addition to Mr Pubaya's question. Purchased halo projector headlight kit from ProTuningLabs.com. The parking light/turn signal connector from the car is a three 'pin' (three wire) plug, however the connector on the headlight unit is a two 'blade' (two wire connector - not even compatible. (I thought the conversion was a simple "plug-and-play" deal???) Any hellp in solving this wiring dilemma would be appreciated. Obviously need both normal parking lights and turn signal functions to work properly to pass state inspection.

Also, how would I hook up the halo wires so the ring would be on any time the ignition was on?

Many thanks.

This is simple wiring folks. I think you are looking into it too much and in turn messing your self up.

Your turn signals/corner lights have 3 wires because they are on with the parking lights, act as a turn signal, and like any electrical connection they need a ground. There is your 3 wires.

The halos only have 2 wires because they only require power and a ground. There is your 2 wires.

You can hook them up any way you want that gives 12 volts. For example, if you run them to the battery, they will be on constantly. If you run them to the parking lights, they will only come on when the parking lights are on. If you run them to the blinkers, they will blink when the turn signal is on. So on and so on. Hell you could wire them to the horn and have them only come on when you honk it. ANYTHING that has a 12 volt connection will work.

Get a tester out and find out which wire comes on when the parking lights are on if that is what you want. Stop going by what others say is the right color wire. Many owners rewire their cars or with the new wire tucking craze going on, people extend wires thus making them not the original color. The only way to be 100% sure is to find the wire by yourself. Not hard to do. You touch one end of the tester to the fender and start poking wires with the other end. When the little light comes on go in and turn your parking lights back off. If the light on the tester goes back out, you found your wire. Same thing applies to the ignition. Find one, light comes on, turn key off, light goes out you found your wire.

If you want them to come on with the ignition, find a wire that comes on when the key is in the "on" position and tap into that. It is that simple.

Unless you clip the wire completely and don't reconnect it, you should have all of your normal functions when you splice these to another wire.

Wiring halos is one of the easiest things you can do as far as wiring goes. All you need is a wire that gives 12 volts and then ground the damn things somewhere.
