Hello,
I am having some issues with my Oracle halo LED headlights. Here is what I purchased. https://tomsoffroad.com/products/oracle-lighting-high-powered-led-headlights-white

I am not sure if I need to get a wiring harness kit or not. These light plug directly into the h4 connector. No issues with the low and high beams. I cannot get the halo to light up. I spliced them into the front parking light. I have confirmed power to the parking light and a good ground.

What am I missing?

I'm not a fan of any of the crimp-on wire taps. I would first double check with a test light that you have battery + voltage on the red wire when the park lights are on and then check for battery - on the black wire.
Might also check with just the park lights on without the headlights on to verify.
I see that you are also from Nebraska?

Here is a photo in the dark. No halos.

I will do some troubleshooting tomorrow. I also contacted the manufacturer and the site I purchased them from to see if they had any thoughts.

I know the clips are not great, once they are up and running I can splice, solder, and heat shrink the connections.

Thanks. Yes, I am in Omaha. You?

First make sure you have voltage and ground through those scotch locks. Then try switching the wires. Red may not be positive.

I was able to spend a little more time in this today.

Halos are lit. Thanks for the feedback and help.

Happy New Year.

FYI,
It would be nice to say what you did. Someone in the future will likely be looking at this when they have a problem and are looking for an answer. So far this thread will be a dead end for them.

Really a simple mistake.

I double checked the connections at the vampire clips and found that the spade that inserts in to the vampire clip was not centered and was on the outside of the vampire clip and in not contact with the wire. Unfortunately a result a rushing through the installation.

Happy New Year!
