Was it hard to get the halo ring wiring? I am not that handy when it comes to wiring, so I don't want to bite off more than I can chew.

Not at all. It comes with wires coming off of the back of the halos. All you do is cut off your original headlight plug and connect color to color. It comes with all instructions. I finished within 20 minutes

I wasn't to familiar with wiring either and it was tougher than it looked. Getting the halos and led's was tough so be ready for a headache but good looking lights at the end

Hi! No - There are 2 ways. You can install a switch on the dashboard with Your own wiring via the battery (+) or You kan hook up by the "parking light" wiring. In the first case You can turn them on/off as You please. In the second case they will turn on as soon as You switch on Your parking lights and will continue to "glow" att low and high beam. You don´t have to be a mechanic to install these lights. Take it slow and easy and You will fix this - No problem what so ever! Good luck! Lars

Mine came pre wired. All you have to do is match the colors of the wires of doesn't come wired. It should though.

The halo ring wiring was easy, but I had to go to a hardware store and buy the suggested clips. The directions were awful. I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota, and the directions showed a Chevy. There was a problem with a lack of information on how I should handle the directionals (it is not what is in the directions).

I would like to just know how to hook it up!! I cannot figure out what goes where and there are no directions!! I know the outfit was cheap, but geez!!! If you like yours so much, then purchase one to go with it!! Could you help me get mine set up?? I just cannot figure out what wire goes where. and not all of them fit

Hi Charlie - I am of the opinion that Coopers Lighting has continued to cost reduce the manufacturing of the light without changing the model number. Look at the picture @ 'the big orange box store" website to see what I mean - http://www.homedepot.com/buy/halo-5-and-6-in-recessed-matte-white-led-retrofit-baffle-and-trim-ring-rl560wh-r.html#.UQxHGWeGdKM For example, the support springs for the old empty can and trim ring were heavier/stronger than for this replacement unit which weighs more. Cheers..........

I couldn't figure it out. The number of wires on mine didn't match what the directions described. I couldn't find any help online or at their website. Everything was ambiguous. I finally took it to an auto mechanic and paid to have it connected, and it wasn't obvious to him either. Very frustrating that they can't go to a little more trouble on the directions.

I had to rewire the new "plug" to the old wires...3 wire nuts and the wires are color-coded...so not a big deal...+ mount new alarm base plate...takes about 15 min. per alarm, with system check after each installation, DGF, Colorado.

I can't answer for the Halo ring, but the headlight is compatible with the standard wiring harness. I'm willing to bet that the Halo is the same.

I had no problem. I ordered a replacement. When it arrived, I found a video on line that showed step by step what to do. You just have to be careful with the wires. It took less than an hour.

I would get more wire (they don't supply enough) also different connectors. . (Butt, male and female connectors. .heat shrink style if possible) ...I didn't connect to my truck horn, I installed a separate switch..It's not too difficult. .Takes some time but is fairly simple. .The difficulty is mainly based on how you want your setup to be.

We called several types of professionals (electricians, appliance repair, handyman, etc) and couldn't get anyone to install it. We were replacing one a handyman put in about 10+ prior so we just did it ourselves. It was not too hard as we had the prior one to model the install/wiring after. I don't think we could have done it if it was a new install.

The actual light bulb and harness for the turn signals were not included when I received mine. You use what you already have and on your vehicle. The only thing is that you will have to do minor work for the halos to work. You will need splice connectors and some electrical wire, which you can find at your local auto parts store. Hope this helps.

Glad you got it going. I agree the wires at The Monitor are 'microscopic' and a real pain to strip back in order to crimp on a ring eye or hot wire tap. Instructions are non existant. If you should have further issues and I can be of assistance, let me know.

It was not that difficult. The machine was together in under 20 minutes. It may be helpful to have a second person helping but not completely necessary. I did this on my own. The most frustrating part is getting the wires in position, that's where most of the time is spent.

When I purchased mine there was a pop up suggestion with a wiring harness. I didn't think I needed it but then purchased the same harness at best buy. The geek squad helped me with finding the correct one.

We did not have good ones...looked at pic plus so called directions and worked it out. I had to go to the store to get some good wire so I could tie all he black and white to create just one for each as there were so many to connect...normally this is already done for you by most company's , so this is poor to leave to the consumer esp if you know nothing about electrical . If you do that give yourself enough slack as it's hard to connect if you have to hold it up close. Good luck...light is nice though and looks good

My suggestion to you is to do what we did - take your vehicle and have someone put a remote on it and throW that piece of junk away. We attempted to put it on our car and had the same problem. The directions are made that nO human can understand them. We even took the directions to see what we were missing to a friend that knowS a lot about wiring and vehicles, and he could not tell head nor tails of it. We had one installed one ours for right at a $100.00 and it works great. THROW IT AWAY !!!

The Halos are tied into the parking lights. The wiring is simple though, if you need to tap into another wire the leads on the back are long enough to do so.

Wow, not from me, as I'm just an owner of the light, not a supplier of the light. What I do if I were you is head up to your local Ace Hardware or another quality hardware store with light in hand and see what they might be able to do for you!
