those will plug into the socket that you plug the light bulb into normally, red to power black to ground.
It basically transfers the original power going to the light bulb to the ballast to transfer it back to the HID bulb

ok those two plug into the original socket, then it goes to the ballast, the ballast has another plug that connects to the HID light. You'll also have two sets of one male one female type plugs that you plug into each other.
sorry trying to remember off the top of my head exactly how it goes, but basically thats it, plugging those two into the original socket is about the only thing thats not too clear

yeah the two in your pictures plug into the stock harness

here is a guy installing some on a focus... I didnt read all the way through but it should be almost identical. you can also see where he connected those 2 to his stock harness.
