Tactics360: you can see a pic of it here.

Ok, the headlights are JDM, would that make a difference in how i would wire them, do i need some sort or adapter or something, cuz as they are now, i can't do anything with em. so if anyone knows what type of wiring harness or adapter i have to get, i would be very greatful. thanks.

that's strange...isn't it supposed to be plug'n'play, unplug your old lights and plug the new ones in, if it's missing something contact the seller directly, send them back cuzz you have a right to

thanks. Yeah thats what i thought too, but its not plug and play. well i did email them and they said that they should just plug straight in, but thats not the case, there's nothing there for them to plug into.

From my experience with projectors they should have sent a bunch of wiring adapter/harness thingies that plug into your stock headlight harness then into a new bulb, which then goes into the headlight assembly.

What are the stock bulb codes for an EP?
