In case anyone comes looking for answers... On my car (90 Civic LX) I matched the red wires (+) on the halos to the red wires of my parking lights (side markers), and the white wires of the halos (-) to the black wire of the parking lights. Thought that if I hooked them to the turn signals (as people have told me to do) that they would blink... and if you hook them up to the headlights you can't run them as 'daytime running lights' if you wanted to... As far as blowing anything... mine have been in for a week with no problems. And they're not hard to install at all... just time consuming.
