3rd gen projector/HID help?

Hey guys, i just got 3rd gen style projectors + 6000k HID kit from ebay. I assumed badly that the HID kits and bulbs would already be installed in the projectors when i got it. well, they werent. so i need to do it all myself. i am retarded when it comes to anything with wires, so i need help.

no place in town wants to install these, and the only place that said they would do it wanted $200 to install them.

so i am basically in need of a step by step instructional as to how to get the HID into the projector housing safely and correctly, and how to get the HID system installed into the car as well.

My basic idea is that the circled areas are meant to be plugged into where the arrows are pointed, correct? But there are those two wires that dont have a place to be plugged in that i am not sure where those go?

Secondly, how do i get the HID bulb in the housing, that now has a halogen bulb, correctly? i would really like to avoid screwing up the bulb and/or housing.

and when that part is all done, how do i wire it up to the car?






anybody who can actually talk me through this is a saint. again, i am retarded when it comes to anything electrical

I do remember it was a pain in the ass to get the bulb in but there is a walk through on here somewhere... let me find it..

This is how the bulb is to go into the housing.. scroll down to the bottom of the first post.

Also if you haven't already you need to do the anti-glare mod on the housings.. pretty easy but takes some patience. let me find that one as well... Well i couldn't find the post on it i looked at but its really easy... when you take out the halogen bulbs if you look in the hole and you will see a screw.. take that screw out and also a little reflector will come out with it... then all you have to do is get some liquid metal filler and plug the little hole the screw was in and wait for it to dry... and your done ...

The two little wires you have circled will be where the h1 wires that were plugged into your halogen bulbs just plug them in there.. that is what tells your lights to kick on..
