Halo Projector fog lights.. anyone install these yet?

[zoso59brst]

So I just bought these Spyder Halo Projector Fog lights to replace my busted oem fog lights. About $80 on Amazon. They came with no installation guide and a pile of wires. There is a one page "quick install" PDF on Spyder's website that is less than helpful.

Each led has a black and white wire coming off the back. I assumed I could wire those together and plug in to the existing harness, but that did not work. I haven't even gotten to the projector yet, which has blue and white coming off of it.

Has anyone installed these? If so, could you lend a hand?


thanks,
Pete

Edit : the PDF installation link on that page is the wrong one. This would be the one I believe : http://www.spyderauto.com/download/pdf/projector-halo-fog-light.pdf

Yeah, the halo part should work with whatever you wire them into, you just have to get the leads right. Most people seem to wire them to the DRL's, although if it was me I'd wire them to the turn signals....

Ok, maybe I'm special, but I can't see how these things are actually halo. I have the projector and flanking leds wired and working. There are no remaining leads to wire a halo, no do I see where one would be. Theses lights clearly show a halo on the website...

So, are they just a rip off and they assume people will not bother removing them to return them? Or am I a dope who doesn't get how this works?

Well, not to ask a stupid question, but do they HAVE a halo? You'd see a ring around the projector or whatever like the picture. If there isn't one, then I'd say you got ripped off.

OK for anyone interested, I contacted the Amazon merchant I got them from. He contacted Spyder and was informed that as of the last product update these lights no longer have the halo. He offered me a full return or partial refund. So, while I didn't get what I had hoped for, these lights still work great and look great.

Thanks for all the help guys.
