Those would go into the wire harness. Black = ground, Red = positive. Make sure to electrical tape it or seal the connection afterwards.

black goes to ground wiring. theres many in ur car, just tap it in there. red goes to your battery terminal. Mount the ballast in a safe spot. plus in the end of the seperate plugs into your ballast. Plus in the connected plug into your stock H11 harness.

Did it come with a relay harness with the kit?

If not, you are not missing any thing. When you unplug your stock bulb, the car's headlight harness will show 2 slots (plug the wires there).

so i need to get some extra wires? and attached it to small red/black so its gonna reach the battery? do i have to do both bulbs? and plug the car harness to the ballast right so where should i plug the extra one attached with the bulbs as you can see in the pictures

get rid of that dangling wire... all you have to worry about now is to power the ballast

Take off the stock bulb, you should see 2 slits. That is where you should plug in the black and red slots. The bottom plug goes into the ballast where the empty slot is. Its basically plug and play. No need to add or extend anything.

I guess that is better than try it and blow it up.

I am guessing the extra wire is to plug in your OEM wire. It use the OEM wire just to control the ON/OFF while the kit itself draw power directly from the battery.

Didn't it come with instruction?
