Angel Eye Wiring Issue, please help.

Hi, I'm running into a deadend. Please help. I got the angel eye set up, but I really don't know where to wire the ballast? Should I wire it to the turning signal? Or directly battery terminal?

Mine is 01' 3.0i.

Thanks for your advance!

Wiring to the turn signal directly will cause them to flash with the turn signal. You can wire them to to the light control module (down in the passenger footwell) to have them come on with the parking lights. Or you can wire to the battery or DME to have them come on when you start the car.

Thank you so much for your reply, tkasser.

Thanks for all those options. If I wire it directly to the battery terminals will it come on all the time?

I like the way that wire to the light control module. Could you please explain a little bit more details where the footwell is, how to find it, and what it looks like? Thanks, again!

Read this thread....but note that it didn't work for me. The 3rd wire in the LCM did nothing for me.

Great! Thanks, Kasser. I think it's still a little bit too complicated for me. I think I'll probably go with wiring to the battery terminals.

My question is, will angel eyes come on ALL THE TIME when wiring to the battery terminals? Just curious.

Thanks a lot, man. Hope the snow didin't block your door.

Best
