the wiring must be there, if the headlights work right now.

projector housings usually have a few wires coming out of them and some of the wires are for the halos and some are for the headlights. the projector headlights' wiring usually has a harness that plugs into the stock harness on the car. This is different from how your stock headlights will be. On the stock headlights, the stock harness plugs directly into the bulb on the headlight, with no wiring harness on the headlights themselves as seen with the projectors.

what do you need a picture for i am confused. This is really easy step one unplug and remove existing headlights, step 2 plug in and install stock headlights the plug for the headlights should be the same. The turn signal fixture will come out of the halo's and then you just twist it into your new headlights. BTW I have stock headlights and turn signals that are in like perfect condition. The car only had 63k when i took them off and had been driven in the rain once so they are really clean. Ill send you a pm with pics and price.

Sometimes aftermarket headlights require different wiring. This is what the OP appears to be asking about. He wants to know if he can just plug in his stock headlights or not. He wants to know what the stock wiring looks like.

A stock bulb would be an H3 headlight bulb. I'm not sure of the turn signals off hand.
