Someone help me with my headlights. please

Ok so I have a new set of the older style projectors sitting right in front of me. I have a set of 6k hids in the mail that should be here tomorrow. Now I am looking at the back of the headlight and wondering how the hell the hid is going to get power to it? If I take current bulb out, it is still connected to the harness included. As you can see in this pic, there is a wire (blue) connected to the back of the blub. What the heck am I supposed to do with this?



The blue wire that goes into the top of the bulb pictured above, am I supposed to remove that and put it onto the new bulb or what? From the online HID kit directions that I have seen, the HID bulb should have 2 wires comming off of it like this. (bulb is pictured on the left) that are supposed to go into the ballasts.


If the H1 bulb does have 2 wires comming off it like the one pictured above and I connect them to the ballasts, then what do I do? Ahh its late and Im getten all worried lol.

If anyone can shed some light on what I am supposed to do that would be great. I am sitting up late at night trying to figure out how the heck this is gonna work. Is the 2nd picture I posted not directions to a H1 kit and mine will look different?

Thanks guys and gals!

there is another wire that comes out of the ballast (not pictured above) that you connect the tabs that used to be attached to the back of the bulb.

So both the blue and black wire from the first picture will be going into a wire that is comming out of the ballasts?

Bump to see if anyone can help me out a little bit more. I am still pretty confused as to how I am going to hook all of this up. Do I need to cut a small opening in the black cover that goes on the back of the lights for the wires that will be comming off the HID?
