You run the black and red to your headlight wiring. The black is ground and the red is power. Wire the red one to which ever wire you want. I believe the green is the parking light and the red is full headlights, I wired mine to the parking lights. Check to make sure on your year and model of the correct wire-color correlation dude.

LOL Naww dude, if you wire into the parking light they will come on when you twist the dial for the headlights to the first position, and they will stay on until you turn them back off. But yea you can wire them to a switch but that will be slightly more difficult. The cops shouldn't car though, they aren't that noticeable. Can u get a pic up of you projectors?

Just FYI, the LED's in EVERY projector headlight are low grade LED's that don't have regulators OR resistors (something LED's NEED to be reliable cuz they only draw 5 volts).

Your only option is to wire them to your parking lights and hope the voltage stays pretty consistant. If you wire them to your 12v headlights, they'll burn out pretty much instantly.


5th gen parking lights are 5 volts, correct guys?
