Hi,
Just after some advice on wiring in the after market headlights from Costa's groupbuy. I have the parkers and blinkers connected, they are just a straight plug in. (After soldering an extension in the blinker lead).
The main beam has a plug that fits the main beam bulb socket (I have plugged this in). The last thing is a small gold box (I assume that's a ballast) with a black lead with a white wire and a black wire inside that need to be wired in I assume to a power source.
Questions - Where did people wire this in?
Does it matter black to current white to earth, or white to current, black to earth?

I personally wired them into the Parkers loom.
wired white to positive, black to negative and mine have been running for around a year (i didn't get mine from Costa's group buy but it should be the same)

LED resistor for the Halo ring.
Wire it into the park circuit and you should be fine.
They do get hot so think about where you mount it.
From memory, it will only work one way, so fire it up and if the ring don't light up reverse them. (At a guess black to earth...)
