Spyder headlights
Any clue how to install these blazer halos? The headlights is plug and play except for the halo ring. Where would I wire this to and how?

Tap the power input wires into the running light circuit.
There's two ways of going about this.
You could use the small bulb that's at the side of the headlight housing, but be aware that although it only has 2 wires, it functions as both a running light and a turn signal (it does this by alternating the polarity of one of the wires), so in the end your halo would blink with the turn signals as well. This would be the easiest method as the bulb is already right there at the headlight, so it would require the least wire routing.
The way I would personally wire them up would keep them lit up constantly with the running lights and/or headlights. To do that, you'll have to run a little bit of wire and tap them into the marker light that's underneath the headlight. It has 3 wires, so you'll need to probe them to figure out which wire does what. But you'll just be looking for a ground and a wire that's 12+ with the running lights or headlights. The 3rd wire is a dedicated turn signal circuit.

In no rush at all to do this, forgot about replacing my core support to put in blazer headlights. They fit in the Jimmy core support but they seem to be misaligned with the body so i would assume the Blazer core support moves them and the grille somehow to line up with the fender...
Id do the 3rd option since putting them with the low beams would mean I couldnt ever show off the halos since the halogen bulb would constantly make it invisible.
