Just thinking about it, the bulbs had spade connectors on them, which I plugged into the stock piece. so maybe they plug into the harness instead

You only need one set of wires from the bulbs correct? You can cut the rubber grommet off so you can slide the bulb holder on or am I wrong again?

the bulb has like 2 or 3 wires. the projector has a wire and the halos have 2.
you dont use the bulb holder "black piece" for retros
