Hi I just received my HID kit for my pre LCI reflector headlamps. Could someone tell me how assemble the cables? I tried searching but couldn't find anything.

thanks

Thanks, a picture of the kit is below



My stock bulb holders have a flat black plastic bit at the back which i twist to the left to pull the bulb out

To note i have standard halogen bulbs and reflector headlamps
