Deserves a million likes because this is the most simplistic straight to the point no crazy jazz lights and pyrotechnics and the guy showing his face a million times so everybody sees who he is absolutely love this video!! Just what I was looking for
Dont care about negative comments on your vid., they should all be positive because you got to the point about what and where to make the connection,
and stated several times how to make it any way you like. Just make it here.
I too got a Chiwan, ebay light with NO wiring diagram and did not want to use my new light to check my fuses !
Thanks. Job well done !😊
Had my china daymaker projector led in my closet for sometime and sooo happy with this video and also some questions from your viewers is a big help. Now to search for the next video on installing and wiring the 4.5" fog lights that came with it.
Thank you Sir! I bought a chinesium led w/ halo kit...great price...no instructions. You saved the day!
My Chinesium girlfriend come without instructions but she did have a green card.
Hahaha, looks like a remake of this might be in order, and include answers to all the questions you got on this one. I have been doing electrical wiring my entire life just about, and always amazes me how many people just know very little to nothing about electrical wiring. They really should include it in a ahort course in high school. Basic practical electrical circuitry for the D.I.Y. er. Those that know, should teach those that dont, like you just did here.
Thanks for sharing !
THANK YOU! I was bummed because the HALO did not light up, easy fix after watching your video,very much appreciated.
No problem!
Great tip, didn't want to cut the original connection to my bikes standard led headlight DTR, this is a perfect solution, cheers my man.
Finally someone posted a video about it. Thank you sir
Glad to help
Damn dude this was legit extremely helpful 👍🏼
This took 5 min and works perfect!! I had some extra connectors around so easy fix for me!! Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thanks dude I appreciate it! I was like what the hell is going on. Couldn't find anyone with this problem. I feel like every video I seen theirs were just plug and play. Life saving video!!
Everyone had said it in the comments so I won't waste your time. You deserve a metal
Thanks for the help. Been riding for a while without the ri ng lit. All good now!
Thanks man, you are the only on in this site who made it.
Brazil !

Thank u, ur vid helped me hook my halos up nice
The Gen 111 from Eagle Lights is plug & play with a halo. Pooty nice😁
this was very helpful thank you
great video! helped a lot
Legit... Thank you... I now know what that extra yellow wire is on my Passing Lamps... I have to figure out how to light those up as the plug is different. I have not installed the headlight yet, but this video helps tremendously...!
the yellow wire on your passing lights is for the halo. tap that wire right into the positive wire coming out the back of the new led passing light
@@JohnPageContraband Ahhhhhhh, OK!!! I will do that! Thanks!
Clutch video… Thank you!!
Thx!!! U help me. Good job💯%

ha, nice man, this helped me a ton with my gs500
Glad I could help!
Thanks man I have something very similar 😎
good jobs my friend
Awesome thank you!
Awesome video, someone who knows what they are doing. I have a question maybe you can disect. I have one of these lights although my high beam only works when the rocker switch is in the middle and my left and right signal flash while opposite side white drl also flashes at the same time. Any thoughts?
Thx a lots bro.
Thank you so much
Thank you brother 🤘🏻
Any time!
So I wanna do the same thing you did with the white plug in wire than wrap it on low beam. I know nothing about wiring so what gauge wire do I need or is that any special type of wire I need? What is that white wire you are using for the male prong tab that slides into the female? I have the prong tabs and heat shrink tube already just not the wire yet cuz idk what im looking for exactly. Thanks and great video!
Thank you sir!
Ohhhh, you actually have to connect the halo for it to work lmao why wouldn't they say this in the instructions and include a wire?! Luckily i had one, but still! Almost returned the damn thing.
Thank by the way, really appreciate the help!
Lol Anytime!
You ‘da Man!
So I was trying to install my new headlight and when I touched the white wire to the middle prong,low beam, nothing happened. When I tried the wire to the left,the high beam turned on, and I blew the fuse when touching the last. What could be the issue??
Awesome video! I’ve never wired or changed a headlight before and this video def helped
How do I use the drl on high beams
Thanks brother got that info
No problem 👍
How would this work if your bike has a drl circuit? Or would you lose the drl switch by adding it do the low beam circuit? thanks!
I tried this and the halo turns off when I switch to high beam. I want the halo on for both low and high
Did you ever figure this out?
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏life saver thanks!!!
I have an 08 Electra glide, no DRL. Id prefer ONLY the halo light/ring for my low beam, but for the light to function properly with high beam.
Can this be done?
Thanks for the video it helped out. Do you know how to make the amber light blink with my blinkers on my Harley. What wire to what. Thanks
theres 3 wires going to your parking lights. ones a ground, ones for the parking light and the third controls the blinking function. you'll want to tap your yellow wire into that wire which controls the blinker. that will switch the halo from solid white to a flashing amber while your blinker is on.
Legend
I want the amber halo to work as well and I’m not sure how to donthat
What about turn signals will that still turn to amber when u signal
how u connect the other halo to work with your signals ?
Hi , nice video, just what i need it, thanks, i have one question, the cable gor the amber , should i put it with the positive of the turn signal? So that way it blinks amber when when i use the tern signals?
You can do that
감사합니다 덕분에 궁금증 해결 🥰👍👍👍👍
아니에요
Very helpful...great video thank you! Where can I get the extending (white) wire you used to connect to the low beam prong?
Theyre called spade connectors and are sold at most home and auto stores. youll need some 22ga wire as well
@@JohnPageContraband Thanks so much John!
@@JohnPageContraband Went to Home Depot. Do you see any concerns or issues with using 16awg primary wire? I did find the 22-18 spade connectors...not the 22awg wire though...so I picked up the 16awg. Many thanks again...will be doing this install this weekend!
@@vitoraimondi2626 any success?
@@vitoraimondi2626 you probably already figured it out but 16 will work fine LEDs use very low power draw…
How do I get the amber halo to work
RED WIRE IS WHITE HALO , GREEN WIRE IS ORANGE HALO GOT IT !!!
The halo goes out when I put the high beam on
How do you get the amber light to work also when you’re using the signal, and is the amber one the extra one that comes with it?
I’m wondering the same thing
He explained it there are two wires usually green and orange and you tap each one to low beam to see what color they are.My guess green white orange amber. Insead of low beam you can make connection to your bike's running lights wires.I like the low beam for easy option.
How to run the white halo with low and high beam? Can I just wrap the same wire coming from the halo to the high and to the low at the same time?
im not positive but i believe doing so would link your high and low beams together taking away the option to run just the low beam. i could be wrong though.
@@JohnPageContraband I have H4 connection just like the one in the Video, so my question Is plugging the halo to low beam will also activate the halo when high beam is on? Or do I need different connections? Thank you so much
Just curious hooked up and the halo is on with lows, however it shuts off with highs. Is that normal. How do I make it stay on with both? Thanks
Ever get this answered?
@@NothinButBullz23 no
you cant have the halo working for both the high and low beams using this method (unless you use the amber turn signal halo ring for one beam and the white halo for the other). you would have to run the halo to a switch to have it run with both high and low beams
With the white halo working and the other wire for signal light hooked up, will the amber light come on when using turn signal while white halo on at the same time? Can they be sequential I’m asking?
It depends on the light. Most that ive seen the white halo goes out while the amber one is flashing but I have seen others where the white stays lit the whole time.
When you wrap the wire around the low beam prong and plug it in would that cause a safety concern? I’m not an electrician but was wondering if a live wire laying against the plastic plug would cause it to melt?
Negative. It doesn't get hot at all.
How do you connect the orange to be on when turn signals are used??
theres 3 wires going to each of your parking lights. ones the ground, ones for the constant parking light and the thirds for the flashing. you would run the yellow wire to either the flashing wire to make your halo flash or the constant parking light wire to make the halo a solid amber
So my question is...how do you utilize JUST the halo ring for daytime running? No low beam, only halo. Would that require a separate switch on the handlebar to manually turn on low beam for night riding?
you can run the halo ring independently using a switch but most bikes headlight powers on as soon as you fire it up. its also illegal to run without a headlight even during the day so you gota be careful. the more light the better.
Is this just one solid ring light or is it a ring light with individual little lights in the shape of a ring? Can’t tell because I don’t know if he focused his camera on the light fully
the headlights halo ring shown in this video consisted of a bunch of individual leds
When you start the bike can you have just the halo come on then turn the lights on when you need them?
most headlights are tied into the ignition so you'd have to bypass that feature. you can install your own switches to control everything independently.
I have a set of these but customized em as fog lights but just noticed the holes I used were the breathing/vent holes, will it damage my lights if I don't have a vent??
You should be fine. The vents are only opened in the case that moisture builds up inside the light. Many of the cheaper ones don't even come with vents.
@@JohnPageContraband
Thanks for the reply brother, have a good 1..
can i wire it so the amber lights turn on with low beam and the white halo turns on with high beam?
You can
How did you get it to change from orange to white on the halo?
if your headlight has two wires for the halo ring, one will be for the white halo and the other wire lights up the orange halo
I keep blowing fuses should I put a bigger one in since it's more power?
the amount of power that ring draws is miniscule so if the headlight itself aint blowing the fuse, i doubt the halo ring would push it over the edge but you never know. try the next size up and see what happens. if you blow that one theres something else going on.
Hey, I have this exact light! Thanks for all the info! Any tips for the turning light?
Your bikes parking lights each have 3 wires. One is a ground, the second is for the parking light and the third wire controls the blinker function. You'll want to tap into that third wire.
@John Page Contraband thanks John! I got it working, but all of the lights are blinking, but it won't blink separately; any advice on this as well?
@@denzelthebright3725 What exactly are you trying to make happen?
@John Page Contraband I just would like my headlight to blink amber when I have my signals turning left or right. All of my blinkers currently all blink when I turn on one or the other. When I just connect one blinker the headlight blinks amber properly with that one but with both blinkers connected it seems to activate a hazard mode lol. I feel so close to completion! Thanks for the help brother
You're actually linking your turn signals together by tying them into the headlights amber halo like that. You would only be able to have the halo flash with either your right or left blinker, not both. The turn signal function is more for cars and trucks. If it's a motorcycle specific headlight, the amber halo will actually have two wires, each controlling one side of the halo.
Question sir where can I get that extended white cable ?
those metal connectors are called spade connectors. google spade connector with wire and buy either the male or female spade to fit whats on the headlight.
can i us low beam orange light and high beam on white light? (sorry fore my bad english)
thats a good question. yes you can. that will work.
not all bikes have the low beam on when running
Sir how can i have just the halo to turn on ..... im thinking about three way switch for the solution so i can have only the halo to turn on but there is no video in English about three way switch
yes wiring the halo to it's own switch would be best. you can use one of the 2 prong switches for this. the third prong is for the led indicator light inside the switch.
@@JohnPageContraband can you make a video how to wired them it would be super helpful :)
What is the connector that you first used to extend it called? With the white wire attached**
A spade connector
@@JohnPageContrabandIs there a certain type of wire or gauge that is required? Thanks
What size is the red wire for the halo? I planned on running that to the usb or different accessory to get non stop power to it. What gauge please?
22ga wire. your use is 5 volts so youll have to use something else.
What would you recommend I wire it to besides the low and high beam?
I’d like to have it on at all times when the ignition is on. Please let me know, thanks!
@@nickdelauter8743 id extend it and tap into the acc 10 amp fuse
what is the name of the wire you used to connect it all up i cant find one
your going to want to use 22 ga wire with either a male or female spade connector.
So what do I do with the left over wire ?
You can leave it disconnected.
what happens to it when you switch to High Beam, mine tends to switch off the Halo..
That will happen when using this method
What if you want I running on low and high beam
Not using this method. You would have to wire it to your acc fuse.
How much more bhp does this mod give to the bike?
About 4 on a stock Street Glide
@@JohnPageContraband lol thanks. By the way is it still working without cracks or moisture inside?
What kinda wire is this and what connector is it a male spade connector? Sorry new to this haha
They usually use thing gauge wire for this 22ga should work best. You can actually cut that spade connector off and use either solder or butt connectors.
Hello there! Does the halo turn off when you set the high beam?
it does
How can I make it stay on?
@@NothinButBullz23 you can create a spade connector with two wires coming off of it and then splice one wire into the high beam wire and the other into the low beam wire. Or you could simply wire it onto your passing lamp harness so the Halo runs off the passing lamp power assuming that you have passing lamps and that they're always on
For what is that green wire coming from headlight for?
one wire is for the white halo the other is for the amber halo ring
does anybody know how to split this headlight housing apart?
Id try heating the edge up and see if that releases it from the body.
Please put here wiring diagram with wire colors, thanks
unfortunately ive seen those halo wires in a bunch of colors so you cant base the color of the halo ring on the color of the wires. if you see a white wire and a yellow one though theres a good chance the white powers the white ring and the yellow powers the yellow ring.
How do you switch from amber to white?
The only way you can do that while still connecting them like this would be to tie one color halo to the high beam and the other to the low. You can also run them each to their own acc switch to have full control over them.
What gauge wire did u use to jump the DTRL?
I used 22.
@@JohnPageContraband will 18 work?
18 will work.
I feel so stupid I got a after market led skull headlight . No instructions the skull and halo light my 3 wires a RBG where do they go to
Are you sure its rgb? If it's the same headlight i'm picturing, the halo only has three colors built in. White, amber and blue. Your three wires are to power those three halo colors.
@@JohnPageContraband positive it has a skull in middle that lights up also
Usually rgb headlights will be controlled by just one wire. Plug your new headlight in and touch those three wires, one at a time, to the positive prong on your plug like I do in the video to see what they each do.
Would it be best to attach wire to hot port or sorter it to hot wire
