HELP needed: Halo Projectors

So I got these things by group buy thru NGA. So I took out my stock headlight. And I see that you can easily hook the projectors straight into the harness. And you'd only have to join wires for the LEDs and HALOs. But what about the Turning Signal bulbs? As it is, I was provided w/ orange bulbs, and empty slots (nothing to hook them into). What are we supposed to use to hold these bulbs in? And how do we connect it?

OK, maybe I'm missing something here:

First of all, the harness is considered to be the thing connected to the car (the actual plug itself, that you plug your headlight into), right? Or is it the wires extending from the headlight?

you need to take out the original sockets and harness for the DRL's and blinkers. that will look into the stock harness thats on the car.

Let me see if I can explain it this way....
1. Take out headlight housing and disconnect from the car's harness
2. Disconnect harness from the headlight bulb (blue plug if i remember)
3. Twist blinker socket and take out of housing
4. Twist DRL socket and take out of housing
At this point there should not be any wires left on the stock headlight assembly. In your hand you should have a wiring harness with the blinker bulb and socket still attached as well as the DRL bulb and socket attached.
5. Change blnker bulb to the orange bulb supplied
6. Put blinker socket in the new headlight housing and twist to lock in place
7. Do the same fo the DRL
8 Plug the grey plug supplied with the projectors into the blue plug off the old housing
9 plug end of the harness into the original harness still on the car

I hope that clears it up for you!

Ok, I think I gotcha. I'm gonna have to try it out at home later tonight. I didn't realize you could disconnect it from the headlight bulb itself too.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll keep you updated.

If you want to wire them up so they work then check out the HOW TO for this in the HOW TO section.....

If you don't want them hooked up then just tape the ends together and let them float around.
