...when you get a project started and your kid calls asking for a favor.
Still need to figure out which wires from the parking lights to tap into for the halos.
Install was fairly easy otherwise.

...12 hours later :whistle:

The wiring for running light usage of the halos was black to black, red to green. I used the wires off the replacement harness as not to mess with any of the OEM stuff ;)
Went with the quick connect taps which I was worried about corrosion then thought to cover them in the sugru that did such a smashing job adhering my door handle covers.

After the sugru cures in 24 hrs I'll tape it up and should look clean.

Lessons learned:
- I originally taped the halo out wires as suggested on the interwebs but once I thought of using the sugru I decided to add some to the tape ends. Next time all sugru
- Pre-strip the insulation on the wires where you intend to place the tap. The light wires tend to use heavier shielding that may inhibit proper contact.
- Pay attention to the reveal of the light as it relates to the bumper and adjust accordingly
