Headlight Installation - Harness Issues

I just ordered some Sylvannia Ultra 9005 bulbs for my 2001 Celica GT-S. When I went to install them...I figured out that my harnesses definitally don't fit into the 9005 sockets. I have no idea what the deal is because everywhere I search says that the 9005 bulb is the correct one for my car. Before I go on I also want to mention that I bought this car used, and it came with no bulbs in the top sockets. I don't know which ones are the high beams, and which are the low beams. I'm assuming the top are the high beams? Anyways, I tried both harnesses (top and bottom) and neither one fits the 9005. I'm really confused!! Also, when I turn on my lights then hit the high beam switch, the bottom set of lights turns on but looks like it's actually the low beams...I'm wondering if the guy swapped the high beam / low beam sockets around? I really don't know...please help! Here are some pictures.

If those aren't the right connectors I need to know what they are, and what bulbs I need to fit those, and if nothing else what harness I should buy to wire in their place. Thanks!

Matthew

If someone could just tell me what sort of connectors those are that would be fine! Like what kind of bulb fits those.

low beam(top) is h7. high beam(bottom) is 9005. you may have the 9005 harness upside down, or worst case scenario, they put a different bulb in the socket. you can get the harnesses at autozone or napa for around 12 bucks

Thank you for clearing that up.

The 9005 definitley doesn't fit in the bottom harness. I guess someone must have swapped it out for something else...not sure what though. Alright well thanks a bunch! I have one more question but I'm going to start a new thread since it's a different issue (also involving lighting though).

Well it's quite awhile later and I still haven't resolved my issue. The 9005 bulbs do not fit into the bottom harness...or the top harness. Can someone look at the pics I posted and tell me what kind of bulbs those take? I just need to know which ones to buy. Thanks guys!
