Hey Graham, I just figured out how to wire the halos to always have them(W/DRL, W/Headlight, W/Parking light) you will need to find the brown and green wire on the drivers side headlight harness, then find the purple and white one too. You first connect the positive wire of your halo to the purple and white, the negative to the black and grey. Which I assume you have already done. You simply need to get a piece of wire( or 2) tap one end to the brown and green, and the other end into the positive wire in your halo. And your halos will come on with drls and headlight. There is unfortunately no known drl wire on the passenger side, so you could just get a longer wire and tap it into the drivers side brown and green wire.
Nice mod. Dang, the only thing that has me cringing a bit is that all of that work is just being held together with some tape. If I were to go through all of that work, especially with these being your second pair on the car, I would personally try to find some way around taping them to the car.
Jon Paul 3m tape works wonders! It’s used for loads of stuff on cars now like badges and emblems and even the decklid. I’ve never had an issue with 3m tape failing. Once it sticks, it’s not going to let go. The reason I had issues with the first set was because of water. They stuck and stayed on the grille just fine!
Jon Paul trust me dude, Graham is right on this one, sunbursting the 3M tape is the best solution so far. I’ve tried hot glue and clear tape, none of which can hold it on for more than a month.
Tt99Caden909 When I said that I would try to find a way around using tape, i didn’t exactly mean using glue as an alternative. I’d fabricate something with scrap metal to hold it in place, if it were me. If you aren’t able to do something like that yourself, most body shops could help you come up with something.
Jon Paul Well, if that is what you are going to do, by no means, do it. I personally like Graham’s way of doing it since it doesn’t hurt the appearance of the car and it does a great job at holding the halos in place. I just personally thought there’s no need to over do things.
Joseph Garcia no, if you want swap you need replace the holder too and the holder is black, he buy just the grill (not the same but similar) gt style you can see the holder is chromed (from v6) Conclusión: buy gt grille style for v6
It's a custom combo I put together using a GT grille insert and base V6 grille surround. It required some fabrication to make it work, but was well worth it!
So im currently doing in cad holder for the leds what i know the best fitment provides 125mm leds that are applied for bmw x3 with cutted top since grill is not circle also is not straight but cuted in axis x
I just found this in the repair Manuel: Violet and white is parking lights, Brown and Green is DRLs, And Black and Gray is Ground. Hopefully that helps!
Hey Graham, I just tried to figure out the wiring on my stang today, it seems like the brown and green wire I was talking about is only found on the drivers side DRL. I am still trying to figure the wiring on the passenger side. However, we could wire both of the halos to that one wire, you just need an extension for the one on the passenger side.
@@urielloya8568 haha 3 years? Well that’s a little bit late. So there are actually DRl wires on both sides, just color coded differently, think you can find some info from diode dynamics. Tapping into both of them is probably your best bet instead of running a long wire across the car. As for me, I went with completely different lights that are rgb and turn signal, so that wiring was a fun mess. Let me know if you need any help :) also don’t buy the cheap eBay halos..
@@cadenzhou5860 hahah yeah 3yrs late but thanks for responding :) I recently got some Oracle LED halos to mount on my grille was wondering if you knew what color wires are the DRLs for both sides since you found out there is DRL wires on the passenger side as well. Thanks again
Is your car 2014 V6 Mustang? Would it be possible to put down the link where you bought your halos? The American Muscle Website says it don't fit on V6's only GT's. Thank you!
Hey buddy I too bought a candy red 2013 v6 convertible, this is the first mod I wanna do...let me know if you find any details on the halo grille for '13 v6... I'm in US
I have a question, why don’t my led strips turn on when I unlock my car? Only when I turn them on manually, is there something I need to do for them to turn on when I hit the unlock button my key?
Hey did you end up finding a set of halos that are reliable and last for long time? I'm looking to get one but have read that some of them burn out or stop working like raxiom
@@christianrodriguez6076 yhea man, no problem! Just make sure you cover the back of the halos completely with hot glue because later water will get inside and some of the LEDs will stop working. Good thing they are not expensive whatsoever! Goodluck on the small project man!
Acevedo_ 302 mine are 125 mm and they fit good. I got them from this seller rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F182732397297
Ebay. I'd share the link but it is gone now. Just search around for the size and you'll find some good options! Go for water-proof if you can. It will be worth it. Mine weren't and I had to replace them every so often.

What size of the lights are? And where did you get them?
Where did you get the halos
Where did you get the grille?????
Nice! Your videos are always amazing
Thanks a ton! I appreciate it!
I have a '13 v6 Mustang does a gt grille fit on the v6?
Joseph Garcia did you ever find out the answer to this? Have the same car. I’d like to know
@@kevingarcia8667 It does, I did it.
Joseph Garcia no, if you want swap you need replace the holder too and the holder is black, he buy just the grill (not the same but similar) gt style you can see the holder is chromed (from v6)
Conclusión: buy gt grille style for v6
No. Need a gt grille surround. Then any grille will fit
how do you find that grill i mean the name of the grill
nice video
It's a custom combo I put together using a GT grille insert and base V6 grille surround. It required some fabrication to make it work, but was well worth it!
So im currently doing in cad holder for the leds what i know the best fitment provides 125mm leds that are applied for bmw x3 with cutted top since grill is not circle also is not straight but cuted in axis x
What silicone or type did you use?
Would this work on a 2014 gt500 ? With the gt grill ?
I have no idea if the GT grille will fit a GT500 bumper so I can't say for sure. If that works though, then the lights are easy enough to do yourself.
I just found this in the repair Manuel:
Violet and white is parking lights,
Brown and Green is DRLs,
And Black and Gray is Ground.
Hopefully that helps!
I’ll take a look at that! I may have to do some rewiring!

Damn you are genius!! It looks nfs mustang
Could've just swapped the pins in the connectors...
The 3 mm tapes are way better than running hot glue

Keone Ramos he has gt grill therefore they fit
I see you, keep up the good work
Where did you get those lights from?
eBay! Search for 125mm Halos (which are the size for the 13-14’s).
Graham Cain thank you bro love the care too!
Could you put a link to the leds
I just bought a 2013 Mustang V6 how did you get the grille to fit?
If you’re asking about adding the GT insert to the V6 surround, I had to do lots of Dremeling.
Hey buddy I too bought a candy red 2013 v6 convertible, this is the first mod I wanna do...let me know if you find any details on the halo grille for '13 v6... I'm in US
How can my I make my plain 2013 V6 mustang grille, into a fog light gt grille?
Purchase a GT grille, a dremel, and start working! Haha
Where is the grill from?
Are they 120mm ??
I have a question, why don’t my led strips turn on when I unlock my car? Only when I turn them on manually, is there something I need to do for them to turn on when I hit the unlock button my key?
I'm not sure. Does your car have automatic headlights? Are you U.S. based?
How are they holding up did they die I ordered a pair
Just threw mine in-they look awesome! Thanks again!
Hey did you end up finding a set of halos that are reliable and last for long time? I'm looking to get one but have read that some of them burn out or stop working like raxiom
Mine were not reliable, sadly. I just tried my best to waterproof them before install and made them very easy to swap out if they were to burn out.
Where did you get them ??
Where do you buy it
@@rolandochavezgarcia2511 are they reliable?
@@christianrodriguez6076 just put hot glue on the back of them and you will basically make them water resistant. So you can say they are reliable
@@rolandochavezgarcia2511 thanks for the quick reply and advice bro
@@christianrodriguez6076 yhea man, no problem! Just make sure you cover the back of the halos completely with hot glue because later water will get inside and some of the LEDs will stop working. Good thing they are not expensive whatsoever! Goodluck on the small project man!
Great job man🤩💪👍😎
You add some resistor ? I mean for reliable.
Would this work on a 2012 Mustang V6??? But ofcourse with the GT Grille
I do not believe that a 12 GT grille will fit a 12 V6. Research that first. If it does, it will work!
Nice vídeo. Halos look good. What size halos and where you get them??
Acevedo_ 302 mine are 125 mm and they fit good. I got them from this seller
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F182732397297
not into them myself
Schönes Kraftfahrzeug
Where did you buy the halos?
All that I can tell you is ebay, sadly. The original listing for the ones that I bought is now gone.
What size lights did you get?
125mm
no link to the halo lights??
I had one but the listing is no longer available. I also had issues with those particular lights so I would have removed the link regardless.
Where did you get your front splitter from?
This is the Roush splitter
@@GrahamCain do you have a video showing how you installed the GT grille center? I'm trying to install the chrome trim on my GT.
120 mm halo will fit like this?

Who hates v6 owners
V8 snobs probably
People who don't realize v6 motors now have more power than v8s from just a few years ago
