Default 94-97 Projector Headlight Installation

I just got my projector headlights, but they didn't come with installation instructions. I can handle getting them onto the car easily, but what about the wiring? It has a clip(with 2 wires going to it) and 2 loose wires on each set.

A picture would really help but those 2 extra wires coming off are for the Halo's i would guess. The clips should plug right in to the old harness. For the halo hot wire run it directly to the battery or to another switch. Make sure to use the ground wire or they won't light up. For the clips you also might have to do a trial and error because when i did mine the brights and the headlights were switched around. So i just Turned the clip around and plugged it back in. Its simple and will take you 5 minutes to do. Good luck and remember that the projectors dont have very good light output.

Ok, to be the ignorant indiana boy, I'll say I've never seen a set of these on a car before. Are the halos supposed to be on all the time? I've seen pictures, but they're obviously always at night.

Also, it has 3 headlight circles and 1 turn signal, but it doesn't have any wires/bulb in the 3rd circle.
i.e. - on the RH set, the left circle is high beam, middle is low beam w/ halo(I think), and the right circle is empty.

I'll post pics when I get back from dinner(its my 25th birthday).

not always, in this example the center is the low. wiring directly to the battery is inadvisable, you always want a fuse between those LEDs and the power source, you can replace the bulbs, the LEDs are integral.

I have absolutely no clue how to post pics on here, so I guess I'm sol. Anyways, the reason I guessed inside light as high beam is because that's where the stock high beam is, and next to it is the low beam. Just curious, if you connect it directly to the battery, wouldn't it be on even when you turn off the car? If someone could tell me how to post pics, I'd put up the few I took today.
