JDM Low Beam Questions, Received my set today - HID Setup and whatnot Options

[Espo]

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 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 I'm not making any more new threads while I have three going on the first page.

I've figured out the H4 harness/H1 Bulb bit, To solve the wobble I'm just gonna wrap some electrical tape around the wire on each one. I just need to figure out how to remove the 194 accents so I can either replace them with the red ones I have lying around or wire in a red LED - either of which would be on a seperate switch.

The whole reason for doing this while these are out of my car is A) it's not cold inside and B) it'll be easier than when the headlights are in my car. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

Also, yes, I know, I'm a noob and everyone's tired of fielding JDM part questions. I'm trying my best, I just don't wanna screw up an $800 pair of headlights.

$800!?!?? Crap I woulda sold you mine for a fraction of that if I'd have known they were worth that much. Unless you got them brand new?

I got them brand new + the high beams. No way I would've paid $800 for just the lows alone.
