projector angel eyes problem

i just got these headlights, i tried to install them, it seems to be a much harder job than i thought. first of all i have the datadots installed in my car. which made it a pain in the *** to get my headlight off. the guy helping me ripped the headlight off the new bracket which left a nice gash in my old headlight. then the headlight is not plug and play at all. it has a weird fork type looking plug, which im assuming is to power all the lights except the the corners, turn signals and angel eyes.

my car has seperate plugs for high beam and low beam HID.

i dont know what to do with the HID now, cause the bulb will not fit into the projector. anyone who has installed it, i would love some tips[FONT=Arial Black][COLOR=Black]

those lights are made for a 2000-2001 max with halogen lights.

If you want to keep them, you will need to switch over to halogen and lose HID

or you can change out the projector to an HID projector...but the size of the assembly is for a 2001 so you will have a gap on the bottom of the headlight
