Wiring help/questions....Headlights
I just recently purchased some Halo/Projectors for my 01 2500 Suburban. The question I have is on the wiring for the Halo's and then the LEDs on the headlamps. The Halo's on each headlamp come with one red and one black wire. I'm sure the red is my power (which will tap into the parking light wire) and the black (will go onto the ground wire). Also there are two LEDs on the end of the headlamp. One White wire (would this one by my power?) and a black (The ground?), These two would hook up the same onto the Parking light wire correct? I spoke with the seller of the lights and they mentioned that one is positive and negative. Looking at the wiring I was just going to splice the two reds on the Halos together and hook them up with wiring taps I got from an auto parts store into the factory harness, and do the same for the black wires onto the negative. Would this hinder the lights in operating the way they should? And I was going to do the same for the LED's, this way I reduce the amount of taps into the parking light and grounds wires on the harness. My last question is. Tapping into the Parking light wire so many times on each side (2x each), would this create a problem?

Use a complete separate wiring setup on them. If you try to tie into the OEM wiring you can cause many problems.

Re: Wiring help/questions....Headlights
Would an auto parts store have something like this. The wires are just there with no type of harness.

Re: Wiring help/questions....Headlights
Also am I going to need any fuses to connect to to prevent any damage?

On wiring jobs I like to solder all connections and use heat shrink and use sealer where there is moisture. Yes always fuse your circuits. Also run wires where the do not rub or burn.
