I bought my 2013 SV CC 4x4 back in December and the first thing I wanted to add was daytime running lights. My truck has the plastic bumper with fog lights; I figured halos would fit nicely into those nice round holes ::smile::
I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CHZ7422. It's basically just a circuit board with LEDs snapped into a plastic housing. They come with a ring of double-sided tape installed in the back of the housing, but I wanted something a little more water-tight than that. Also, the wires were routed out the outside edge of the rings, and I wanted them to come out of the inside edge. I pulled out the tape and used a dremel tool with a milling bit to cut a small notch on the back side of the housing on the inside diameter. After pulling out the double-sided tape and routing the wires through the notch I cut for them, I filled the open space with Blue Form-A-Gasket. Do not use regular household RTV silicone! It cures with acetic acid, which is very bad for electrical connections. The Blue Form-A-Gasket is non-corrosive.
The inside diameter of the plastic housing is just slightly larger than the fog light hole in the bumper. There are three tabs that protrude back from the inside diameter of the housing. I used a dremel tool with a milling bit to cut three small notches in the fog light holes to exactly fit the tabs on the back of the halo housings. They only need to be about 1/8" deep. With these notches cut, the halo housings fit snug onto the bumper and don't obscure any part of the fog lights. A few drops of super glue on each of the tabs is all it takes to hold the halos securely in place (don't forget to wipe the tabs and notches with an alcohol wipe before gluing).
Pulling back the inner fender right behind the bumper gives access to the fog lights. There are a few small openings through which you can drop some wires down into the area of the fog lights. The wires on the halos have a plastic dongle of some kind on them, too large to fit through the small gap between the bumper and the fog lights. I had to reach in and pop the fog lights loose, feed the halo wires through the gap, and then put the fogs lights back into place.
The under-hood fuse box on my truck has a 30A spare fuse that's in the right place for a add-a-fuse to fit. This circuit also happens to be one that is on with ignition, off otherwise: perfect! I wired in the halos to this circuit, added a 3A fuse, and job done! Here are some pictures.
