Default Help me instal HID headlights

I am not a wiring guru and it seems these arent exactly plug and play. I know how to put them on, but I am not sure what all the wires are. Can anyone give me an instal for dummies walk through?

for reference I went with these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/92-99-Lexus-...4ba0a9&vxp=mtr

Not sure what the black and white wires in the pic are for.

Its really hard to tell even from the link where these wire lead from... It almost looked like its for those three blue lights but it could also be part of the halo? Def take pics of where it leads too. I bought something similar years ago and they were for halos

I don't have these, but just glancing at the pictures you posted - the 6 wires on the far right are for your drl leds 9white power, black ground), the blue & white are for your bulb(blue power/black ground), and the additional wires on the far left are for your halo, and it appears that they run into a voltage regulator, then are just loose to allow you to choose how you want to power it(which is why the seller probably advised professional installation, so that if you set your car on fire or blow out a bunch of fuses you can't hold them liable...well limiting their liability anyway). Also taking a look at their ad they do have a "contact" button and I am sure they would be more than happy to confirm the function of the wires.

As an aside, the seller lists theses as projectors and includes a regular bulb. Unless you have the ballasts and the bulbs these won't be HID & may provide you with less overall light output than your oem projectiors, depending on their projector design, lense, etc, etc. Not hating, just saying.
