Default HID Install question

Hello, I'm new here, and have a dillema regarding an HID install. I decided to upgrade my stock halogen bulbs to a plug and play HID kit. I recieved this kit yesterday in the mail with no real instructions except what they tell you on their website.
My question is with the pins on the bulb side of the rubber grommet. I have no idea where they're supposed to go and also where does the larger yellow and black connector go? Any help would be appreciated. Here's a pic of what I got :

I'll be attempting the install in a few days, just received my kit today. I had an HID kit I installed on my GS, but it did not have the pins on the bulb side of the grommet. The black and yellow connector plugs into the factory wire harness from what I remember. I'm assuming the other pins will connect to a factory plug as well. I'll try to update or post when I get to installing in the LX.

Thanks drewdogg80, I actually sent this pic to the place where I ordered it from and they replied back with this picture. I knew to connect the two separate bulb wires to the corresonding harness from the ballast. I just wasn't clear on the wire with the black shrink wrap going to the ballast also or if it attached to the OEM connector. But the OEM connector wouldn't fit that connector so I was like WTF!!! But now I see that it also goes to the ballast and I figure that I'll have to connect the the red and black pins to the corresponding pins on the inside of the gray dust cap (I think they're green and black), after I drill out the hole and insert the grommet. Hopefully everything works out.
