Ok, crazy idea.. Help please?

So I'm wanting to buy some H4 Headlights with Halos for my Iroc. I want the halos to turn on with my fog lights, AND flash WITH my turn signals. I know it would likely involve a relay or relays and some other wiring tricks, just not sure how to make it work. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Collin

What is so Crazy?


You need one SPDT Relay per Headlamp.

They probably have switch back halo LED headlights ready to plug in.

I think halos are tacky, but that's me. I'm pretty much a purist. I have Hella replacement headlamps with H4 LEDs in both my TAs.

Re: Ok, crazy idea.. Help please?

So this would cause the halos to flash at the same time as the turn signals? Not opposite?? That is what my ASE teacher told me it would do :P I'm fairly new to wiring, what would it look like? Thanks again, Collin

Sounds like 4th gen DTRL module and wiring diagram is what you are looking for.
Grab one from a wrecker with the connector and a length of leads.

Re: Ok, crazy idea.. Help please?

Are you intending your halos to be both white for DRLs and yellow for turn signals? If so, then see the ebay links I posted above.

if your halos are permanently yellow and you simply want them to flash with the turn signals, then get this module.

Run the white wire to your fog light switch. Then route the wire to the turn signal wires.
