it depends on when you want the lights to come on. If you want the halos on everytime you turn on your car then wire them to the side markers that are always on, if you only want them on when the headlights are on then wire them to the headlight power line

Just make sure you wire them to 5v or even 3v. They say to wire them to 12v but that is why they burn out so quickly.

and maske sure that you insulate any connections very well. I have heard of fires due to connections shorting out due to water.

find the power wire that goes to the side markers (the one that's not black usually) and carefully strip a small section of the insulation off without cutting the wire, then wrap the bare end of the halo lead wire around it and use some black electricians tape and tape them together. Make sure that you wrap the whole thing really well so it's water tight.
