Default 94 Civic Halo Projection headlight help

Whats goin on guys (and girls where applicable). I just got my new headlights in for my civic and they look sweet as ****. Only question I had concerning it had to do with the wire harness that came with it. Where does it eventually plug into? I understand it goes from the headlight plugs to the harness plugs, but then where would the harness hook up to my car? the plugs look like standard 3 prong plugs (although they are different in sizes) and of course the ground wires and 2 misc. red wires. Not sure what hooks up to what so any help would be appreciated.

ya its pretty simple, just pull the harness off of your stock headlights, and plug them into your new headlights, thats IT!!! and for the halos (the 2 black and 2 red wires) ......ok, its easy to do..your gunna need a switch,and some wire the same size as the wire coming out of your halos..or a little bit bigger, dosent matter..first find a place to put your switch inside your car..i put mine in the place of the 3 little squars under where the **** is to audjust the briteness of the gauges is, cuz i have nother there, (by the way i got a 2000 civic)..so the wires coming out of the halos, the black ones just ground thos, what i did was put a loop connecter on the end the the black wires and grounded them with were i put the screws to hold the headlight in place,this way its close and you dont have to extend the wires..now for the red wires, you want enoph wire to reach through the firewall and to your switch, so cut a piece of wire that long...once you have it cut, connect the wire to the red
wire coming from the halos, you can solder it toughter or just crimp it, or twist them toughter and put electrical tape around it, now you want to run the wire through the fire wall ( theres a hole in my year car under the battery tray were all the computer wires come through, cut a hole in the rubber garmit and run the wire through, there are many holes,you just got to get dirty and look around, oh and if u cut the rubber garmit thing,make only a little hole, and put plenty of duck tape around it after to seal it up) ..so once it got it through, just run it alone the inside and to your switch and hook it up to the prong on the switch, its very easy to hide the wire after you have it connected...ok now the last step..to bring power to the switch (thus to your halos), you need to get another piece of wire( the same size as the
other wire) and connect it to the other prong on the switch and run that through the fire wall (the hole that you already made) and connect it to the positve terminal on the battery..before you connect it to the battey, you want to buy a inline fuse and about a 5 amp fuse(thats what i put in mine,you can probably put a smaller one) ,the little fuses with the 2 prongs that u plug in,you no what im talking about .....there cheap,about 5 dollers for everything..and thats it, it will work..if you have any problems just ask, good luck, its way better to hook it up to a switch, you have total controle ..tell me if u got any problems and ill help you out

Cool thanks man I appreciate all the help, made it simple for me. The only question I have is where does the harness plug into on my car? I was tracing the wires coming from my headlights but didnt notice a place to put a new harness(then again I had 100 other things to do so I just glanced). If you could tell me where exactly the plug is located to swap out harnessess, Ide appreciate that tons

If the harness is different on your new projector halos from your stock headlights harness, just cut off the harness from your stock headlights and connect its wires to the projectors headlights..i guess...does that make sense?
