Question with capactior i bought with HID kit

Hey all. I have a question. I ordered and HID kit from www.cqlight.ca (2nd kit, first was for my Mustang). They included capacitors but i am clueless as to where to connect the other end (sort of looks like bronze flat connectors that dont have a plug and play head. The other end goes to one of the two wires that come from the Ballast. Any idea where i can connect it to? If the extra wire (capacitor wire) wasn't there, it would connect to the stock headlight harness (like on my mustang). Here's a few pics. Can anyone help where to put these two or where to connect, or better yet, what to do with them. They are a negative and positive wire connectors.




Thanks for your inputs yall.

Oh, upon further inspection and common sense in my head, do those two wires connect in the place of the halogen bulb was?

There is a black and a brown wire on the stock harness, where do i plug in the negative and the positive?

Thanks!
