Do the same with the other 3 wires then connect those to the positive. Once done with one side check your light and see your results. When you stop jumping up and down do the other side. This is so you have both working. Hahahaha. Now it's brew time.

Thanks Brotha!

Syber - Where did you buy the lights? Are they street legal? I'm think of getting them for my truck. They are awesome looking!

[SybErkRimInAL]

Just ebay "08 Tundra black halo" and you'll get a bunch of choices. They should be street legal, I dont see why they wouldn't be.

Mickey,
I guess my age and IQ are on par. Okay, looking at the instructions, I can tell nothing. I understand what youre saying you did but I dont know how you did it. I found my instructions and they came with the 4 blue clips. Each clips looks like it's supposed to house two wires but only one of the holes goes all the way through on each clip. My questions are,

What two sets of cables did you hook up to each other via the clips? Did you do two black wires on one clip and two white wires on the other? If so, which two? There is one set of wires, black with white squares and a white with black squares on it that come out of the 3 little lights. Then there's another pair of wires, solid black and solid white that come out of the light bar next to the 3 little lights. Then there's another pair that look like they go to the halo, white with black stripe and a solid black wire.

So I grab a blue clip and put what two wires into it? What two wires go into the second clip? To make things easier, lets just call the wires that come out of the 3 lights, wires A. The ones that come out of the light bar, wires B and the ones that come out of the Halo, wires C. Many thanks in advance and again, sorry for my constant bugging. No rush on this, whenever you have a spare 8 hours.

First you need more of those clips. I bought a box of ten. What I did was take out of the 6 wires on the halo you have 3 white and 3 I think were black or another design meaning white with black stripes or boxes like you said. You need to tie the 3 white together first taking the longest one to be the main wire then tie the other 2 white wires about an inch apart then you will have all wires connected to the longest white wire. I tied them together using the clips. Do the same for the other 3 wires. Then you will connect those to the amber light on the side. I matched my white with black stripes to the wire that had a stripe on it. Then I took the white wire to the other wire and clamp the clip. Now it's a little tuff here because of the room and you have to pull back some of the wire protector to see which one you want and then put your clip on that wire and then take your 3 wires connected together and put them into the clip squeeze with pliers and you have a connection. Once you're done with one side check it out. Then do the same process on the other. It's no bother telling you this because I went the wrong way on mines because I couldn't find the instructions either. My wires by mistake connect to my low beam Halo not the little amber light. I may change this later. I just won't have any lights going on when I use just the parking lights. When I read the instructions I already had my pass side done connected. It worked fine so why change it. Good luck If you want I will get some pics to show you. It will be tight but I should mange.

Mine too until she gets a CAI for her 07 Prius for better gas mileage. Simply put I bought your house she wanted and I'm paying for the truck. I'm paying for her Baby Grand so my answer is okay dear as soon as I send off for this on ebay.

yeah i just won some trd wheels for 249.00 on ebay, I will post some pics up when they get here, first piece of the cai has been delayed they need to get some more intake tubes and boxes so anyone who wants to sell them I think he said he is willing to pay 100 dollars for them.

Definatly got the bug but what the wife dont know, wont hurt her. She knows about all my little mods, I just kept the exhaust from her cuz that was a bit pricey. But I had the extra cash so no biggie.

Ok, on to my current dilema. I think I got it figured out. Would of been much easier had I just completly disregarded the instructions. Basically, I have to connect the two white wires to the long white wire then connect that white wire to the positive on the turn signal then do the same with the black wires and connect those to the negative of the turn signal right? Only question I have left is how do i connect those to the turn signal wires? Will I have to cut the wires to tap into them? Also, I'll need a total of 4 clips per headlight correct? Here's are a couple pics of the white and black wires connected in the way I assume they should be. Please let me know if I'm on the right track.

[SybErkRimInAL]

Nevermind guys, I think I understand what needs to be done. Biggest thing that threw me off were the instructions and the fact that they didn't supply all the necessary clips. I'll try to put them on tonight if I have time. Thanks for all the help.

[sxd45]

post some pictures of that beast!

[SybErkRimInAL]

I might of spoke too soon. For whatever reason, only the lightbar is working. The 3 little lights and the Halo will not light up on either headlight. I must be connecting them to the wrong wire. The only other explanation is that they are not making good contact with the main long wire which happens to be the light bar wire. I went as far as completly stipping the wires where the clips go and still nothing. I'll give it another go tomorrow. I'll probably just bypass the clips all together and just wrap the wire around the main stipped wire.

I take it the instructions provided are less than perfect?

Yea, a little. But I just dont see why they're NOT working. It doesn't make sense. I'm positive the wires are connecting to each other, I stripped them where the clip makes contact just to make sure. the only thing I can think of is that they messed up when the wired them. Such as using the black for the positive and the white for the negative. Unless I'm not supposed to hook up all 3 whites and all 3 blacks.
