help wiring bi-xenon projectors

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying bi-xenon projectors to put into my 4th gen stock housing. These projectors take d2s bulbs (I believe they are taken from an audi), and have a negative and a positive wire coming out of it for the solenoid that makes it move. My main question is:

How do you convert from 9003 to d2s and also to give power to the negative and positive wire coming out of the projector?

I'm following this sticky on the how to's section of how to retrofit: http://www.vqpower.com/v2/articles.php?article_id=75, but he/she totally skips the wiring part, it was very helpful to know how to mount it, but I do not know how to wire it right. Thanks for the responses.

you need ballast to run HID and you need a 9003/H4 harness to power your ballasts and the selenoid from your OEM 9003 plug.

Is this correct?

So, I think I know what to do now. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
The OEM 9004 plug goes into the morimoto harness mentioned
From the harness you have:
-Two 9006 plugs that go into each projector.
-Two 9006 plugs that go into each hid ballasts.
-One positive and negative side for the battery.

Is there anything that I'm missing? Thank you again for the responses. Sorry if i'm ignorant about this topic, I just don't want to burn anything.

You are correct. The wires are all labeled appropriately.
