Installing Halos

[J-Rome]

I have read the D.I.Y. but I'm a total noob with anything electrical.
I think I need to plug my Halo wires into a Voltage regulator and then into the parker plug...am I right?
Also where can i get a voltage regulator from? Is it somewhere special or can I just go to Autobahn or somewhere like that? And price of one of those?
Thanx in advance, Jerome

how much did u get ur set of halos for?

[J-Rome]

I got them for $300 delivered from some guy in NZ off Ebay. They are Aus legal

u will have a + and a - for the parker lights ( halo ring) which you need to cut your parker light plug on your current wiring loom, and that should be it..

[J-Rome]

Yeah but in the DIY thred it said something about installing a voltage regulator or a spike stopper to stop the Halos from getting a surge and damaging the LEDs

[XP02ED]

thats more of an option.. i had halos on my civic for over 2 years. without a problem

[J-Rome]

Ok cool. Well the spike protectors are only $7 so I'll just do it anyways. Better safe then sorry I spose.

ive had halos dat blew within 6 months, the reason i am unsure of but i have done a full DIY on my lights now,

i hav 3 halo rings instead of the 1 or 2 dat sum have,

best advise dat i could give is USE a resistor at all costs, even if it already has one, cause the ones u proly got are of really low quality, and if u wanna be super carefull even attach a fuse to it,

Yeah cheers mate. I'm installing them right as we speak but I'll be getting my spike thingy in the next few days. I won't be driving the car until after its been installed anyways cos I'm leaving the sunny Gold Coast for gloomy Sydney on Wednesday

mm just go jaycar n get a resistor

[J-Rome]

Yeah I'm guessing that this spike thing is basically the same, its only $7 so yeah. Thanx 4 the advice, they are in now and look great.
