Halos have a power inverter to power the CCFL, you will need to source power and or switching for this option.

Couldn't I just wire it to the headlight harness?

Id tap off the parking lights, so you can just have them on with the parking lights.

Do the parking lights use the same wires for the turn signals or is there separate wires one for parking lights and one for signals?

I'd run them off a toggle switch for complete control over them.

Those wagoneer lights are pretty small. 4x6 or something? You would lose the 4 light hi/low function though.

An update for anyone that didn't get a PM. We recieved a bunch of the stock style housings we ordered. The first ones I ordered were sealed with Butyl, easily separated with heat. The ones I recieved (same part number) are now sealed with silicon, not affected by heat. I had to look into different avenues to seperate the lights and tried a variety of approaches. This set me back a few days but I finally found a way that worked. It is time consuming but will still yield a clean finished product compared to the alternative of cutting open the light and glueing it back together.
