Exclamation Purchased eBay Black Headlights

I know, i know, eBay gets a bad rep. I got a pretty good deal on them though, and they have a great return policy.

However, they did not come with intructions on how to wire the LED's, which I imagine need to be spliced into the DRL's?

Has anyone does this before? Or had any experience with them?

Here they are:

PS here is a photo of my car:

I guess it is not original/OEM headlight set because original GTS/Turbo headlight doesn't have those extra cables (Red/Yellow/Black) for LED. instruction could be simple. just hookup cable and find drl/headlight wires from it and connect them to those extra cables.

I’ve been curious as to what size headlight bulb they use as most aftermarket options I see end up running a H1 which will make me not buy them.

Heads up ya'll this was a waste of time. I installed both, and both through codes with errors. I should have known. Seller was nice at least, but no instructions was kinda a pain.

You probably needed to buy in-line resistor packs. That’s what I had to do to just run aftermarket HID kits in my oem headlights.

It's advertised as plug and play, with the PDLS & cornering lights. It just wasn't worth it, and i kinda knew that the entire time. Oh well! Sometimes ebay pays off. For instance, i purchased the LED sidemarkers and they work great.
