Diode Dynamics RGBW Halo wiring help!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

mbrusco103 · 03-02-2017, 07:09 AM

I recently installed Diode Dynamics RGBW halos and im having issues wiring them up the way i want them to work. I want to have them come on when the regular halos are supposed to come on. i tried tapping into the side markers and the halos flicker when i do that. They only work if i tap a fuse from the fuse box but thats on constant power.

Can anyone help me figure out how to wire them properly to run like regular halos? Thanks!

sounds like you need to run a relay from the marker lights , here's a link that might help it has other info in it but I think the diagram might help http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=346546
