LED with halo wiring troubles
Ok, I bought an LED with a halo ring off of Ebay to replace my broke harley one. I bought an adaptor so it's just plug and play and it came right on. My issue is I can't figure out how to wire the halo ring portion of it up. The wiring off the light has the plug and two wires. The one that is marked drl (daylight running light) is the one I've been messing with. I can get the halo to come on for just a split second if I hold it to the blue wire on the wiring harness but it won't stay on. Any ideas, I'm definitely not an electricianand there were no instructions.

Not Rocket Science; pretty easy mod. ...
You say: "The wiring off the light has the plug and two wires."
Without seeing what you're talking about; I would guess the "plug" goes to the main LED headlamp and the "two wires" are for the "Halo".
What I did was splice into the Positive and Ground leads to the cigar lighter (assuming you have one) for the two Halo wires. The current draw for LED's is minimal, as is cigar lighter usage, so I don't see a problem with overloading the circuit, plus the circuit goes live when you turn on the ignition. I hope this helps.

I can't see anything out of the ordinary that would make it act as a turn signal...lol...like I said there were no instructions. I have not yet ridden it at night, but it seems to be very bright and the low beam stays on with the high beam. It's gonna be cool when I figure out the halo. For a $100 it was worth a try over the $500 harley version.

Along w/your stock HL connector, there should be a black/ground and orange/orange-white power. Guessing, by the looks of your pic, the red is power (connects to orange) and the other (blue???) ground to black...
Good luck...sorry, but buying cheap fm fleaBay sometimes doesn't fare well...IMO. What kind of warranty does this part offer? Most of the reputable vendors have "lifetime" warranty so paying a little extra covers you for the duration. Food for thought - good luck.
