Ok, theres a wiring harnes that goes into a connector, that snaps into the headlights. There is a yellow wire, between them, you want splice into that one. Use any connector you want, I like to use the crimp style ones but all I had was twisties at the time. Run the red wire on the light strip in with the yellow.
Then the black wire off to a ground somewhere. I think i grounded mine to a bolt some where with one of those crimp on circle attachments.
Its the yellow wire on both sides.

Thanks a million for the pics and the info... I'm looking into them as well... Quick question for you... Which colour white would you suggest?... I think there are 3 choices (cool, neutral & warm)...... Thanks...

How did you access all those wires? I looked into my engine bay and the wires are all tucked down and I can't see them.

Well find the big connector in the back of your headlight, then pop it out and pull a bit. You gonna have to carefully peel off the loom and tape.

As trewyn said, go with the cool. I mainly did because I plan on upgrading to HIDs, not to mention they stand out well.
