Well, the two smaller holes on the left are for the parking and turn signal. The two bigger holes are for the headlights. One is for the regular driving lights (projector), and the other is for far lights. The stocks have far lights on the same bulb, and the new projectors have them separate. There should be a harness to plug in or something. I know the TYC brand come with a wire harness that splits the stock plug into two different plugs.

i forgot to tell u about these headlights, the parking and turn signal holes (where u plug the lights in) are a little too big, not huge, but they wont stay snug, the turn signals the worst, they slip out of the hole and i dont know how to fix that either, they said theyre for 2001 but i figured itd be the same thing since 01-03 lights r the same, thanks for the help

yea, i have halo projectors, and it also takes 4 bulbs opposed to the stock 3. If you look underneath the socket of where the bulbs are supposed to go, doesnt it have the bulb #'s there? Right underneath each socket it should have the bulb # such as h1, 7443, 168 or different numbers. Since i dont have the same style projectors im not too sure which bulbs fit in there. But it should state it on the housing. And 01-03 are all the same housing.

basically every aftermarket lights for our car, except the TYC headlights, have signal holes that are a little bigger that the bulb. I had the same problem, basically you will have to find a way to get them to fit. I went to the dealer and bought new signal sockets and wedged those bithes in the headlight, no problem since.

those lights should of come with a headlight harness that connects to the factory headlight harness wire, like the TYC headlights, the trun signals should be the same though.

I don't think you can get the harness separately. Should have come with the lights. You can always use clear silicon to seal the holes once you install the plugs. It will form a good bond and prevent water from coming in.

This thread is a joke, it's gotta be a joke... I mean 4 "holes" instead of 3 "holes", geez, but anyway, I'm surprised noone bashed you yet, so I respect the posters for that.
Anywho, I got TYCs and everything fits better than stock, so, if you're having this much problems with yours, your either an idiot, or those light really suck, and I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the lights are crap. I haven't seen them on too many cars, so there must be a reason for that.
But now that you've bought them, you might as well take these people's advice and make'em work.
Good luck

Hey kape, dont bash this thread or this man for his problems. When I first saw TYC lights along time ago, I didnt know much either. Some people have problems with car products when they buy them, or dont have much knowledge about their use or how they work. He is simply asking for help, and he deserves that.

no i do know about the light, but the problem is that i figured that it was missing a part or something but he told me the harness is inside. so what im gonna do is give it to him so they can fix the wiring and **** cuz when i checked to see if they worked, the high beams wouldnt turn on and the whole headlight system would shut off. but he said i can take them to him and get the wiring fixed. so now all i need to do is silicone the sockets tight to the holes and ill be done. ill post some pics when im done installing them on the car. thanks a lot to streetglower and to the others that helped me i really appreciate it

alright I didnt read all this well, but I did go over it.

These are the first (unless they have halos) style of projectors I had ( i had stock, those kind, those kind with halos, now TYCs)

the signal and parking lights we just pu in regular and alot of ele tape, its a bitch to change them, but how oftne do you do that? and on the actual headlight parts, like the other guy said, one is the low beam and the other is the high. they have those rubber covers on the to keep stuff out. there should he a short set of wires on there covered by a black piece of wite loom. on the end of that there should be the same plugs that are on the back of the headlight bulb (|_| - I think) so that just plugs into where it normally would. they should def be there. even the place you got them from should have already had them there... they are made with them for goodness sake.
I do think that 190 is far too much for them, they are the old style!!!
I would put some silicone on them for sure because they WILL fogg up the first time there is rain or you go to a carwash or somthing. DEF do that!!!

hope this helps!!!
