| Well the bulbs are H3, and usually the way to do it is with the stock harness. But since you don't have that, you'll have to figure something out. The one wire is positive, and the metal bulb base and screws are all ground. | |

| Can you post up a pic of the setup? Basicly the thing you put your bulb in should have a connector for ground, the wire/spade directly on the bulb is the plus. | |

| Yes, that is how you do it. Just crimp on of those onto the end of your ground wire and put it on the screw on the back, then wire the bulb wire to a universal foglight relay wire harness kit. | |

| I'll take a look at mine and see how it's wired up as it was done by an auto sparky. The only thing I'll say is beware of changing headlight lamps on the future,it's quite the pain on mine! | |
