Default Installing HID's

I just bought these HID equipped headlights from Ebay (item 2481352480) to replace my oxidized non HID factories.

Dilemma: the wires to connect them is not included. Can someone help with pointing me in the direction I need to go or even better, posting install instructions from one of the great installers on how to do this.

I know you guys are good at this stuff and I'm pretty confident I will get the help I need b/c that what forums are for, right. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I replied you through pm too. Does your car have hid now? Seems like you bought just the hid headlight housing, not the hid bulbs, ballasts, and any of the harness

1) if yes, then all you need is to swap out the bulbs and ballasts from your car to the new housing
2) if no, then you need to get hid bulbs, ballasts, and then you can use the stock power line to power up the ballasts.

No my car does not have HIDs, I have Halogens.
Sorry for so many questions but I'm new at this. I will link the item so you can see for yourself, maybe this will help you tell me what I need to finish the hook up. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eb...tem=2481352480

According to the guy I bought it from:
-The units come with the Xenon bulbs.
-The wires you see are for the standard bulbs...your car's lamps should have them.
-As you can see it comes with the computer or Ballast.

Correct me if I'm wrong, If it comes with the bulbs and ballasts, shouldn't there be wires attached to these items. Can I just buy new ballasts seperately if the ballasts have missing wires or do they only come in a package, bulbs and ballast together???

Thanks,
Don
