Thank you bro for the reply, early this morning i had stumbled on an install from ACG here on MBWorld and whew, you could only imagine how extatic i was. There were large enough pictures on the install that i was able to see where James had connected the black and red wires to. Vioala! I had HIDs too! Thank you again for responding to my plea for help.
