https://www.ebay.com/itm/271514678429 for that price they are better than expected I just bought wires at work and got a toggle of Amazon. Think I may have spent $50 total but I have a spare blue backglow toggle switch I bought blue on accident so had to reorder in green

To mount the halos you would use wire to wrap around the halo and into the plastic housing. Read this is the best method apparently because it soaks in the vibrations real welland because silicone will turn colors through time which can possibly be viewed.

Oh I used clear 5 min adhesive on both the bottom and sides everywhere the halo actually made contact with the housing

Our off-road group was asked to take part in my towns Christmas Parade today. Oldest one in the state and televised all over and people come from everywhere for it. Got stopped and commented on a lot during the tighter spots for the lights and decorations. Anyways got a crappy pic will have a better one later tonight maybe tomorrow. 38880ea4bf11e0f69090df419825cbcb.jpg

A lil bit cleaner photo from parade. 5835d03a812348e88b6e86a27164c724.jpg98ce09eb48af5cd8fed5b09bd8ec70ac.jpg4d18fdb20c7f8fae01ff9c96fb394adc.jpg
Not quite as clean but good shoot with the halos 2ab45d3d2f98dcb118d3f89e7e28a48f.jpg
And the mirrors now have to be redone. When I did the paint t on them it was for the new color so I did a quick couple coats with the rattle can paint match to factory colors for something I was doing. Driving home from a interview on the interstate actually caused the paint match to flake off on large chunks so my mirrors are now 2 different colors

I didn't think about it when I posted it but it does clearly say it's at 11 secs in so even funnier you tried to play a video that was halfway through that you've never seen before haha. Sorry couldn't resist

Been a little while since this was updated got some new photos with the halos and stuff lit up.

I also received a 60" Hilift jack for Christmas so I'll be ordering a locking mount as soon as I can. It'll be mounted length wide down the bed on my topper. It will sit next to the roof rack when I get the chance to buy that. However my current issue is getting my keyless entry and a remote start system for the truck and installed through Geek Squad I have zero desire to do that kind of modification since it requires tapping into important wires.
Now I got tired of the thought of my truck catching fire due to crazy wires in the engine bay so I've Been doing some wire clean up as I have time between rain and freezing weather. Got it all just about done today. Mind you the before pic I had already messed with it a bit so it was t this crazy.

After 856e6684798c57371c0255163faf661c.jpg
I'll be trying to clean up the rest of it as I find time. I don't have the holidays off so we'll see what happens. But this is almost all the wiring for all of my lights my fog lights are farther up the engine bay. I'll be moving it when I have time and can cut and splice and extend wires as needed. The rest of the clean up will require patience and some real attention since it's the wires coming and going from relays and the fuse block. I'll have to get another fuse block since I've still got some of the spliced in-line fuses and I'm also gonna be adding some more over time.
Next step will be to reinstall the stock air box with my aftermarket intake tubes removing that according style that it came with from the factory as well as the air box.
Gonna clean the undercarriage and engine as I get the chance as well so we'll see how that goes soon I hope.

Do you remember what the sellers name was for those led brake lights? They look pretty clean
