Default Headlights....NEW PICTURES ADDED! HELP PLEASE.

I recently purchased some headlights off of ebay...I know I know, I should have done some research before hand...which I just searched it the other day and a lot of you said don't buy them...they fog, they are not good quality yada yada yada. Well, I bought some for my other car and I havent had any problems with them and they have been on the car for a little over a year. Anyway, I need some help. I dont want to waste the money (which according to some of you it will be a waste in the long run) and I dont know if the ebay store is going to take them back. I would like to put them on because I really do like the way they look. Okay...to my problem, I was going to switch them out Saturday...I started diggin into the car and noticed that (maybe) the plug is not the right size, I never actually got it off but from the looks of the outside it likes "oval" and not circular" like the after-market lights.

Main Plug (circular)

Red&Black wire under Headlight

Now in the instructions that came with the lights, they said to run the black wire to the "park/signal/side marker lamp...I was under the impression I wouldnt have to do any kind of re-wiring and what not. So please can someone give me the run down on how to install these lights. If the plug do not match up then hopefully ebay will take them back and send me the right ones.....

unless its a CONVERTER it will not work.


Splice into the wires. You will have to cut everything.

Just did mine today.
took me 3hrs to wire everything.

but everything works.

High,Low & MIddle light & halos/eyes


3 RED
3 BLACK
(those are halos) tap into the turn signals for that.
