Default Help with projector dual angel wirings

Hey I just purchased a pair of projectors. I only installed the factory plug so far. There are two sets of wires that I need to used. One set has two red wires and the other set has one black wire and one red wire. The two red wires looks like its from from the main head light low beam. And the other one comes from the parking lights I think. I was wondering...hmm what do I do with the wires. I have no idea what to do with wires. i don't know how to "splice" or find the wires that I need to plug them into. how do I differenciate the wires? Thanks.

they're probably for halos and/or city lights

I found out the set of red wires are for the HALO and the black and red wires are for the city lights. I wonder if the black wire is the GROUND wire for both the two set of wires. Someone told me I have to "splice" the wires into the parking lights or the turn signal lights. Can someone tell me how to "splice" these wires and how to find out which wires are for the parking lights/turn signal lights. I will post pictures up after I take them. Thanks.

yes, black is ground and red is power.
splice them into the parking lights wires.
to splice them, you cut the red wire for the parking lights (don't cut too close to the bulb harness) and then use wire nuts to connect both ends of that cut wire and the red wires from your city lights and halos. do the same procedure over again, but with the black wires.
then repeat this on the other headlight

not sure but you don't need to know this to wire the halos or city lights.

I just installed the same headlights into my '03 civic, but there is no black ground wire coming out from the halo's. And it sounds like KraZyCiviC doesn't have that wire either. There is the black wire and red wire from the parking lights, but just two red power wires from the halo's. I'm assuming that one is from each halo, and they are both power wires.. I need help!!! And also, I tried running a wire from the red wires straight to my battery and the halos still didn't work. I hate halo's right now..

if there's only red wires then i would assume your ground wires are already pre-wired into the headlight wire harness.
just wire the reds to the parking light's red
if your halos don't work when the headlight harness is plugged in and with 12 volts going to the halos' red wires, your halos are probably burnt out

make sure when you test them that the headlight harness is plugged in so the grounds work

yeah.. everything was definitely plugged in when i tested. And I thought thats how they might've been grounded, but neither headlight works straight from the 12V. What are the odds of all my halo's being burnt out?! Ughh never buying from eBay again..

well, on second thought i doubt they are burnt out straight from the box... there's gotta be a wiring problem somewhere.
do your parking lights work normally?

yeah man. Everything works great except for the halo's. I'm totally stumped.. I agree. I doubt they would be burnt out straight from the box as well. I tried asking the seller and he said that they would work through the parking lights, but his reply seemed like he used a translator lol. And he hasn't replied back since. Stupid eBay.
