Help regarding my halo headlights?

Hey guys
I recently purchased a set of headlights with halos and I was wondering if you could help determine how I should connect them to my car (a 2000 camry).

Installation of the lights themselves look easy enough- just the removal of a few screws and disconnecting the harnesses, though i haven't done it yet because I want to get the halo installation correct first

Here you can see that two wires coming out of the halos somehows connects to four, is routed through a black box (what is that thing) with 3m backing. What are these things?


The two wires are routed through this plastic tubing. They are both the same color (red)

My questions are
1) Is there a resistor built into this set up or do I have to wire them in myself? (which I don't kno whow to do ..yet)
2) Both wires are red. How am I supposed to discern which one connects to what and what DO they connect to. (Parking light harness or something?)
3) What's the purpose of the two wires becoming four and then connecting to that little black thing only to become two again?

Sorry i'm a huge electrical noob. The most I've ever done electrical-wise was retrofit a metal halide HID lamp for an aquarium. and I followed a guide for that.

I have emailed the seller, but in case i don't get a reply, I was hoping you guys here could help me. Thanks!

-Ell

I just bought these as well. Two red wires for the halo section. No polarity indicators on the wiring. Have you got an answer on this yet?

ill try and go check for ya guys in the morning...but as i remember (i did this about 2 months ago) if you look close at the black box and where red and white go in you can look at which wires come out where and tell (thats what i did) it sucks that they did it like that but once you look at the box youll see what im talking about) just be sure and mark the wire that matches up with the white wires as thats your negative...

(edit-ok old original post...hope it helps the new poster... )
