having trouble...ive never installed anything before that has anything to do with wiring. I know i might need a wire stripper and connectors and such...but it also comes with this little plug thing yjay looks like something u would put in a ac outlet in your house...mann. Anybody ever install these before? a good explanation on them would be good. the wires confuse me a lil. my dad is supposed to help me but his opinion on them didnt eem to assuring. maybe i should jus pay a professional place to put them in. like pep boys or maxi or sumthin

take a picture of the backside of your headlights and mark the wires. then use www.tinypic.com to host them on here

The 3 prong goes into your headlight socket ... The other ones hard to see if there just expose wires would go to your parking light wires .... But when you unpug your headlights those plug in that plug , If anything the other wires you connect to your parking light wires ... it's real simple bro , be patient and don't be nervous ... you dont have to be a proffesional to do it ... chiko had these on his car ... but if you lay your head lights down , lay all the wires out completly and take a photo I can easily mark the wires for you ...

the black wire is negative (so you can ground those) the red is positive ( these you can connect to a switch or to your parking lights.)

That's really weird. Cause I had these head lights years ago, but now they seem different. Like the halos has changed. But that plug/wire on the back is wrong. You need to cut so that there are 2 wires coming off of both high and low beam bulb, then wire a 9006 connector to the low beam (projector) and 9005 connectors to the high beam so that they'll plug right in. Actually, if these head lights are like mine, you can simply use your stock high beam bulb and not worry about it. The halos should be a red and black bare wire which you connect to the corner light wires (cutting, stripping, taping, etc). Here's a pic of the front of mine so you can see the difference and here's a pic of the back, showing what it should look like for you to plug it in (use stock high beam bulb and you see the 9006 connector on the low beam). WHere'd you buy these lights anyway? I wonder if you bought a euro or JDM version because they use the H4 plugs like you have on yours (combined high/low bulb and wiring). If so, your output will be backwards. The low beams should look like this in USA.

im not sure. i bought them off of ebay for 180. they came with corner lights which i already had so now i have extras. Anywho..that scared me lol cuz now i have to seperate the plug that has the high and low beams combined? not to mention the other extra cords. ima mess with them today and see how far i get. Do u think pep boys or anywhere can install them? im kinda jus scared to mess up anything

lol wait!! i think im seein something. Couldnt i just disconnect the H4 conversion plug thingy and plug in the already installed plugs in the car? idk if that sounded right but my knowledge is severley lacking. As u said, te high and low beams are conjoined due to this H4 plug but nowmally they would be seperated. Its the extra wires im worried about also. Like where do the go?? lol

yeah man, your pics are kind of.... random. You never got the entire light lol. Just remove the high beam bulb. Take off the plastic wrap around the wires from the low beam. Cut them so that there are simply 2 wires coming off (leave enough wire though). The other wires are for LEDs. They wire to the corner lights. I'm not sure what kind of place would install lights cause that's what I do best lol
