    I got these halos installed into my 05 gxp, and for some reason they dont work properly.. i didn't wire them myself as im not too familiar with it. But they will randomly turn on then off again.. currently the right side rings work but the low beam doesn't. And the left side low beams work but the rings don't. about a week ago it was completely reversed. random lights will randomly work sometimes then stop working a couple days later. It's really annoying and i dont want any ticket's cause of it. I would assume it's just a wirring problem, but i wouldn't know where to start fixing it. I don't no much about how they are wired so i want to soak in as much info about it as possible, so i can rewire myself if i need too.
    I was also reading on other threads that disabling my drls would help but i cant find the fuse..
    Any help is appreciated!

    Do you have HIDs and do you know if the halos are wired to the parking lamps? I know the 04+ cars have some weird deal with the DRL but i'm not sure what it is exactly. The general consensus on this board is that those are junk and to either stick with stock or get a retrofit made.

    I can't help you with the DRL but I'd just follow the wires for the halos and see where they go. They should go to either the ones connected to the headlights or parking lamps. If they are randomly turning off and on they also might not be wrired in right. Loose or something.

    You "disable" DRL by placing some black tape over your light sensor on the dash
