naaw not really... some cars can pull it off... like civics... it gives them 20hp!

but its all personal reference though, I honestly have seen some cars which it did look nice on, jus not my thing...

however to the topic, I have no idea... I think the other ones suppose to be hooked to your parking lights..? not sure though, I had my friend do it on my e36 awhile back, I believe thats what he did...

The black wires go to a negative ground, the red wires go to a positive 12v source (I'd recommend a fused switch... most halos will burn out after a while if you wire them up to driving lights or anything else like that)

Oops, that might be my fault. I moved this one back from Gen chat. Didn't realize there was already another...thought I checked but I guess I missed it.
