I don't think its called plug and play since you have to splice. But I bought these connectors from a shop, which makes it plug and play with the original plug, so I didn't splice my wires. Simply took out the old angel eyes, plug, then cut the Ice wires to connect with the connector I got, and bam!! Plug in and 
can you show the connectors? Where did u buy those?
Thanks.

Its just simple spade connector head, but small size ones. Then just plug it straigh into the old plug that was there. I'll try to get some pictures, when I go out and get some of those, probably tomorrow. I just don't wanna go open up my headlights again. So tomorrow umkay?

this is the plug I was talking about. Its very easy and much better than slicing your wires. sorry for the blurry pics.

I installed mine this weekend and it took about 40min for both sides. The hardest part was to getting the headlights out without damaging them. Unfortunatly, I did chip the edge where the round cup goes in. The splice that came with the light are not the greatest. I would advise you take a razor to remove the actual plastic around the wire when crimping. This is to issure you have a solid contact.
As for the lights, they are white. No more yellow mellow! They are slightly brighter but it's hard to tell if it's brighter because it's white or because it's actually more illuminating. You'll still see the little ribs or line inside the angel eyes. It's not over powering where you see a solid white circle. Overall, I'm please. I got these for my birthday and didn't cost me a dime.
