I'm about half way done on an install of Oracle dual halos but have a question on wiring. Where is a good spot to hook up the positive wires where they will turn on and off as the stock RS halos that I am replacing? I was told that the wires to the stock halos have a resistor on them so they aren't that powerful so I shouldn't use them. Basically I want the halos to only come on as they were stock.

A resistor? Hmm I've never heard this. Jonathan or AAC, can you guys elaborate/explain or confirm on this?

Hey, I am also getting ready to install these onto my 1LT 2010 camaro. I did NOT get the DVD with my kit, and I got the bulk remote box. Each of the lights have three wires (two black and one red). I also got one switch with the kit. Where, also, would be a "handy" place to put the remote box? I am very excited to install these, but I am just very confused on the wiring for them.

You can put the controller in the engine bay. I used 3M tape to mount it to the frame.

Has anyone just skipped wiring the halos to any other light wire and just used the switch they come with and a 12v source? I think I'd like the idea of having a switch in the cabin for just the halos.

Just finished mine over the weekend. Came out amazing. Props to AAC!

Does anything bad happen if you "forget" to put back the very top bolts in the fender well that were a pain in the butt to remove?

No. All 3 times I've done the install I've "forgotten" to reinstall those nuts.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear.

I think one of mine has been gone for 2 years now. Too much of a pain to put back in, even more so with 22s on. I think it just helps secure it more but not technically needed.

Is that 230 degrees Centigrade or Fahrenheit ?
I have a Gas oven, does it matter that it's not Electric?
