Default Headlight Question?

I recently bought new headlights for my 04 es330. Ill post the link to them below. When installing I ran into a plug that wouldn't fit anywhere(In the link you will be sent to an ebay site, the picture below the description shows the back of the light. Its hard to make out but you can see the plug, it looks like a regular socket plug.), its the plug for the main light in the middle of the halo. I can barely see while night driving because of this. I went to autozone and tried to explain the situation but they just stared blankly and said nothing of importance. Please help me find what i need to convert this plug into the stock plug. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LEXUS...#ht_4030wt_939

Put your stock lights back in. They are brighter than those crappy ebay pieces of junk.

No i didnt have stock hids or halogens. I just bought the headlights and assumed everything would fit. Also, to JSM1284, they look really nice and perform excellently, but its just the main lights arent plugged in. So i have low visibility at night which is a big problem.

Doesn't sound like the perform excellently when you don't have low beams. I would say go back to stock.

What do you mean you don't have stock HID's or halogens? Those are the only 2 headlight options. Did you not have headlights at all before?

TC, definitely go back to the OEM headlights. Those things are trash and they look horrible on the ES.

I can give you all of the install and HID advice you need for OEM lights. I went from 2002 Halogen headlights, and upgraded to the 2006 projector HID ones.
