just got them
I just received my headlights. I'm pretty sure i can get them installed, I'm just confused on the wiring. see pic below please
Is that connection going to be plug-n-play or will i need an adapter still or to cut wires? Also, the corner lights don't have a clip, they just have a black and green wire? and info would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a Euro car then its just plug and play but if you have an US car then you need adapters. The side lights you need to cut of the plug on the car and connect the wires to the new side lights. I have just done this my self

for a NAM car, you will need the euro socket (exact match of the passenger side tail lamp socket).
theres a whole write up on this install. Its the most complete write up from wiring harness, color wire matchup to types of bulbs

Im just waiting on the adapters. There coming in from Virginia beach. Should be here end of the week. Ill definitly take some pictures. I hope they come out nice. If nothing else I'm really just going for more light on the road.
Im going to try to run those city lights with ignition turn on.
I have watched the video a few times. Its look simple enough. Thanks alot for that!
The other link has alot of good literature on it though. Like I didnt know about the city lights. I havent read the whole thing, but the bulbs arent dual filiment. Are they going to run as side markers and turn off when i blinker? or only turn on when I blinker? I would like them on when the headlights are on and to get brighter when I blinker. Ill probably have to get a new bulb.
Thanks for all the advice guys.

If I get the dual bulbs... is it just a buls or are there wires i need to add?
I guess ill figure it out tomorrow. Im probably going to get new bulbs. The guy sent me bubls for every hole but I like the color of the ones i have now. So im im going to see if they make them in the fog, headlight and day runner sizes i need so they all match.
Ill take plenty of after shots. and one before shot.
