      EvySpeedy254 here's how i hooked it up.
      -the two halos run off of the amber lights below and so do the leds
      -the amber bulb is connected to the turn signal and functions as a turn signal
      -the bulb in the eyebrow of the headlight is hooked up to the headlight so it comes on with the drls

      also when i hooked these up i distributed all the lights to different wires so that i don't have everything hooked up to one wire. sure leds don't pull a lot of energy but im thinking if that's what you did it could explain why your halos are darker. and i'm actually thinking of changing the leds that power the halos to something more powerful. have no idea what though.

      i decided that there was TOO MUCH ORANGE on the front so what i did now is took the two three way bulbs out of the turn signal and have just the light in the headlight working as a turn signal. i left the small side marker bulb in the assembly to have some orange on during the night. there is a side effect thought my turn signals flash like crazy now but i kinda like it. the problem with that is they will burn out faster and when they do here come the leds ill post pics later

      its a hood bra not the whole brawl that covers the bumper (don't like those) that i got off of ebay for 20 bucks about two years ago they will probably still be there. i recommend when you buy from ebay that you don't buy from private sellers but from vendors that have stores there. i've noticed that if you google hood braws for instance you will get a bunch of companies that will have them and then you go on ebay and search it there will be the same companies that will be selling the same product only at a lower price. even with shipping included. i don't get it but that's whats going on and would recommend getting it. i think it would look good on any car you just have to take it off when you was your car because you will get i call it a "tanning line" right on the edge where the braw ends. its because water collects there so you will need to get some scratch remover it gets it off really good. regular washing doesn't seem to get it off completely

      keepnitclean, I had the fast flasher problem too but an led flasher relay from superbrightleds.com fixed that issue. In fact, all of my external turn signals are some sort if leds now.

      EvySpeedy254 go to advanced auto or to ebay and find the smalest aftermarket foglights you can find. then comes the hard part you need to get under the car remove the wheel well covers free up the corners of the bumper. basicaly remove half of it because you cant get to the two screws holding those plastic things in place. take them out and cut the back off because youll want to put them back in after you install the fogs. the bumper itself is bent all wierd back there. just plain ugly. finaly need to make some hangars to atach the fog lights in place so that they hang right in the center of the hole of the plastic covers. run the wiers into the interior and hide the button in the ciggarette ash tray plain and simple. sort of.

      not sure of the company that made my hood braw got it a long time ago. but i just checked if you type in chevy aveo hood braw. the company that has the camaro on the picture and it says custom hood protector on it seems like what i got.

      Another option for fog lights is getting the OEM ones, they will fit with no cutting and stuff... And they're pricey ($70-80 for the pair is the cheapest I found on eBay when I looked for them before the body kit)... But they fit without any cutting. You'd still have to run the wires, install a relay (if you want them coming on only with parking lights on and stuff) and the switch inside. Aftermarket switches are $5-10 dollars... OEM one is quite a bit more than that... (it usually goes from the factory in place of the black circle to the left of your hazards button).
