I received my set of JDM headlights earlier than expected today (Ordered Dec 20th with an expected back order of 6-8 weeks) so I'm quite excited biggrin.gif In any case though the headlights (high and low) don't look like they're a direct bolt on to a usdm front end...or am I just seeing things? Picture for reference:



Also, the high beams I know are 9005 just like the usdm ones, but my H1 HID bulbs (the real reason I got the projectors) don't seem to be a direct fit? I have a couple wires here that I don't know where they go:



And the bulbs obviously don't fit into these holder things either, which are pretty much needed to make the bulb stay steady and in place:



Does anyone have any experience with HID setups like this that can help me out? I'd like to go my quarter panel repaired asap and obviously, having a usdm front end I'm not wired for an H1 setup. Thanks so much in advance!

Alright, so all four are a direct fit - I just wanted to be sure since they look slightly different.

I'm using an aftermarket plug and play ballast/hid setup though, I have the ballast for my 9006 stock headlights already - I also have the H1 bulbs for the projectors, but my question was what to do with the two extra wires in the second picture - I have no idea where they go, unless they're going into that H4 harness you linked me to.

Also, said H1 bulbs don't fit flushly into the projector - when I pull the wire pin holder over them, there's still some wobble - video here:
Basically the bulbs are loose in the sockets, the wire that goes over them doesn't hold them steady.
