Hey guys. I feel like a complete idiot asking this, but I bought some white HL bulbs from pinguhk, but am not understanding exactly how to replace mine. I opened up the two locations on each side, and this is what bulb is attached to the plastic harness. My question is, how do I put the new bulb (doesnt have the metal "plug" thing shown below) in? If this makes any sense to you, please offer up any insight. Thanks...
This is what I want to put into the HLs

That link is for Angel Eye bulbs, not HID's.

If im not mistaken those bulbs are for Halogen headlights not the xenon ones. And shadezero was correct they are for AE's but your pic is either the main headlight or the cornering lights.

Thanks guys for the help. I am officially an idiot. I thought Pnguhks bulbs replaced the ones in there, but they are a seperate bulb that is located in the very top of each housing. I guess they just change the appearance of the shade of light to a more white. Anyways, I figured it out, but again, thanks everyone...
