Installing Halo's on my LS this weekend.

I just ordered a pair of OEM RS Halo headlights, they are in transit right now.
1. I forgot the name of the harness, I need to know where to purchase it.
2. These are also coming with Fog lamps, do I need another harness for that?
3. Is there a DIY for this either of these?
4. Apparently these are OEM halo's+the AAC Blue ring, I need to know how to switch back and forth.
I did not do much homework on these, it was a good price so I took it. Any help would be greatly appreciated I hope to get these in this week before spring break is over. Thank you again.

Are there any DIY's for installing RS lights on an LS? The thing about these are they are OEM Halo's with an AAC blue halo, so I am going to need to install a On Off switch. Any DIY's for this as well?

You should be able to just swap the headlights and plug up the harness.

There are lots of people who have done this swap. If no one posts a link for you, I'm sure you can find your answers if you use the search feature. As for the halos, its a little confusing, if they have AAC LED rings inside then the factory halo may be disabled. You'll have to wait to get them to be sure, unless you ask whoever you bought them from. Are they suppose to switch from blue to factory white, has the factory LED been removed, or are they dual color halos even?

You should of done your homework bro before buying any of this stuff. You are all over the place with this install.

First your going from halogen headlights (LS) to headlights designed for HIDs (RS). Do you have an HID kit for it? and correct bulbs? this could cost $100-$250 depending on the kit.

Secondly does the "AAC blue ring" also do white? is it a dual color ring? if not you will have no white ring at all and thats probably why you got such a good deal on them. A lot of people on here with those OEM RS headlights had to cut the ring to put in these AAC halos, therefore disabling the white halo.

Are you sure they use the OEM white LED or are they Dual color blue and white AAC halos?

Also do you have and HID kit for it?

Actually I should wait till they are shipped until I do more, it's much easier once I get my hands on them.

Yea those look like dual color halos. That white looks too bright to be stock. Also, when turned white, the bottom halos match the top so the fog halos must be dual color and since they match, the headlight halos must be dual color as well. All you'll need is a "single pole double throw" switch from radio shack. That'll switch the colors. Or get the flush LED switch from AAC. It's more expensive (maybe $20) but looks nice and you can have it light up blue if you want. Here's mine:

1. I forgot the name of the harness, I need to know where to purchase it. Send a PM to 2SSRS - he makes them

2. These are also coming with Fog lamps, do I need another harness for that? No

3. Is there a DIY for this either of these? AAC has numerous videos on how to do the install. There are also a lot of DIY/write ups in the DIY section

4. Apparently these are OEM halo's+the AAC Blue ring, I need to know how to switch back and forth. The OEM halo probably functions as normal, and then the AAC halo can be wired to a switch


I did not do much homework on these, it was a good price so I took it. Any help would be greatly appreciated I hope to get these in this week before spring break is over. Thank you again.
