Default HID conversion help please

HID conversion help please-img_20121226_163423.jpg

Ok so I think I may have this right so far...
The 2 male connectors in my hand should be converted to an oval connecter and plugged into the wiring harness on the car side correct?

That's for the fog lamps right? It should plug right in in the female terminals the OE wiring have.

No- you are not missing anything... You have the incorrect part. The light bulbs you have are for fog lights, not low beams.

The correct bulb size for low beams is 9006/HB4, fog lights is H3 - which is what you have there. The ballasts are fine, just get the bulbs changed to the correct size.

Should've stated you're going with a custom headlight or whatever before asking if there's something wrong. What a waste of time and effort.

You should have used the money from the halo's to retrofit the oem headlights. Your going to blind everyone with those. Oh and use a relay harness. If you got the halos chances are (speaking from experience) your going to melt the wiring and have problems. The harness uses the OE plug as a switch, at which point the ballasts will then draw the power needed to run the bulbs via the battery!
