Exclamation Retrofit Help Needed!!! =(

Hey guys I tried searching everywhere but I'm completely lost.

I just got my retrofit headlights in recently (took a few months to arrive since the group buy) and I just got my new SS/TC and I'm trying to install them. I've been at it for a while and I'm running out of time to get it done so I really need somebody's help who has wired these things before. I managed to get the lights to work but I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to make the CCFL angel eyes light up. I've tried looking on BUYHID's site and searching for answers but nothing helps me.

If anyone knows what I should do please let me know because this is driving me nuts and I just want to get these in the car already LOL

Also, how are you supposed to get the HID bulbs themselves to stay in place? There are no directions describing this but I've tried rigging something up but don't know if it's to safe. I really need some help with this haha

Plug the halo into the CCFL inverter, Wire the CCFL inverter to power and ground. That's it.

Look for a U shaped pin in with the kit, those are the bulb holders.

We attach the bulb holder onto the projector before we ship them so they dont get lost. Maybe it came undone and is in the box somewhere. Bulbs are held in by a U shaped peice of wire as tommy said.

Yeah I figured out everything but the angel eyes. It doesn't make sense there's nothing but two stray wires so I thought everything was just plug and play no splicing or anything... but I put it all together and drove around and damn they look good! The light output is perfectly straight, the cutoff is sharp as a razor, my only complaint is that it doesn't seem to light up the view in the distance as much as I thought it would but then again I live in North East PA so it's just one big roller coaster of mountains lol

Oh and Mike I didn't notice any U shaped pin but I made my own holder using the old bracket from my stock pain that twist to lock and also the little white plastic piece from the HID bulb case to keep it from sliding out. Probably not the right way but it works like a charm and holds it in tight!

The halos are up to the user to install, some people want a switch some dont. We dont install them anymore. Was tired of all the picky people but no splicing for them just get quick connectors and vola, done.
