Default e-code questions...

got mine yesterday. I've identified all connectors inside the housings as belonging to a specific bulb (low, high, city), but one leaves me perplexed. Inside each housing is a set of three wires with a thin pined connector. The best way I can describe them is that they look like something you'd use to hook a sound card up to a cd player within a computer (if that helps)

What do I do with these wires?

Default question for you...how are you going about...

wiring in to the existing harness on your car? I was thinking male spades but I'm worried about moisture getting in there...I don't want to cut off the exisiting plug in case I need to return to stock someday.

Default No but my stealer said they are available $40 ea.

So I deciced I would rather destroy my old lights than my wiring. I don't think I will ever use the old two piece again but I was hoping to get a few bucks out of them. Oh well.

Default I am taking the round plug off my old lights and got the ecode plug from the dealer.

On the pic I posted the circled part is off the old lights. The other end is the part I bought.
