The halo is great Wire it up to flash orange with the indicator as well

and yes a few more lights (Lazer) up front never hurts

So you have two direction indicators at the front of your vehicle per side?

According to UK Vehicle Lighting Regulations you are only allowed one per side.

Under UN ECE R48 the same applies for the front of the vehicle.

At the rear of the vehicle you are allowed a pair (1/side) of optional rear direction indicators in addition to the obligatory rear direction indicators.

So have you disconnected the original front direction indicators?

Did the supplier of these headlights explain this to you?

2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Alaska White

This is a perfect example of you get what you pay for.

I have the JW Speakers, i fitted them myself and level adjusted them on a wall to what i though was correct.
The main beam i also didn't think was great & i kept getting flashed at night. Took it to a local mot garage. The guy doing the job said they we were way out, the job cost me a couple of pints in the village pub
Complete transformation on main beam, no need for extra lighting. And as for halo rings that also flash with indicators, not only look ridiculous but as Brendan mentioned, also illegal.

I got these lights from GOR a few weeks ago -

The issue i have got is that the halo is stays on when the headlights are switched on, and they need to switch off to be compliant -- any ideas what ive done wrong ?

cheers!

Hi Loz,

It sounds like the yellow wire hasn’t been connected to the Side Light live. When the side lights are turned on the yellow wire sends power down to the Day Light Running Module, which will then turn the Halo ring out. The easy way to check this is to put 12v power to the yellow wire, this should turn off the halo ring. Obviously if it doesn't, get in touch with us and we'll sort asap.
