Single Color Halo Headlights
1. Turn the car off and remove the keys from the ignition.
2. Remove any headlight bezels and retaining rings.
3. Pull the headlight away from the car and disconnect the wire harness plug to completely remove the headlight.
4. Place your new halo headlight near the light bucket and plug the back of the headlight into the original wire harness plug. The connector plugs in only way, so you can’t go wrong.
5. Route black and red LED wiring to parking lights.
6. Replace headlight into light bucket. Reinstall headlight bezels and retaining rings but don’t over tighten screws. OVER TIGHTNING HEADLIGHT BEZELS OR RETAINING RINGS MAY CAUSE HEADLIGHT GLASS TO CRACK under some driving conditions. Octane Lighting Inc. is not responsible for any cracked glass after installation.
7. Connect the black wire (ground/negative) to chassis using a hoop Connector or direct splicing it to (ground/negative) on parking lights/turn signal.
8. Connect the red wire (power/positive) to the power wire on the parking light wiring. On your front parking lights/turn signal there are three wires; one for ground/negative (usually black in color), one for turn signal, and one for parking lights (color of wire varies for different manufactures). Refer to your cars manual or a professional automobile wiring specialist to determine which wire to connect the red wire (positive). You can use a test light or Ohm meter to identify the power wires.
Alternative Installation Methods:
On some vehicles when the headlights are turned on the parking lights go off. Some customers do not like this and they want the halo on all the time. To solve this problem, you would want to wire the LEDs directly to an ignition power source. That way they can have the halo on all the time, day or night. You can do this by connecting power wires into an ignition source like the alternator or generator positive/power wire or directly into the correct fuse location in the fuse box or anywhere else that gets power when the ignition is on. Using a test light or Ohm meter will help in identifying the correct power wire.
Or
Some customers like placing the halo directly to a switch of some kind so they can turn the halo on during a car show or cruise night with the car not running. You would connect the switch directly to the cars battery so that the halos have power whether the car is on or off and solely controlled by the on/off switch. We sell halo on/off switch kits also.

5. Looking at the back of the headlight remove the rubber boot to expose the retaining clip. Push down on the retaining clip tabs slide to one side to release the clip. Pull the clip away from the headlight. Now remove the lamp/bulb by pulling on the three prongs. Sometimes the bulbs can get stuck and small flat screwdriver is useful in loosening the bulb from the housing.

If you are still not sure what to buy, take in your old bulb to the auto parts store and ask clerk to assist you. NEVER TOUCH THE NEW BULB AS FINGER PRINTS OR ANY RESIDUE CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE LAMP/BULB. Install new bulb. Push retaining clip back into place. Consult new lamp/bulb instructions for any care/installation instructions.
