if you are buying a plug n play kit. just plug what fits.....simple, there should be a 9007 plug, a plug to the ballast, and from the ballast there is 2 AMP plugs to the bulb, and from the bulb there are 2 AMP plug so that you can connect to the ones from the ballast. most of the current plug n play kit are the same. so........yeah...good luck

actually there is just one thing that i m confused about, the set of wires that came with it for connecting the ballast and the plug also has a positive and negative wire, what i m confused with is, do i connect those wires to something or just leave it?

If your kit doesn't have any kind of wiring to go directly to the battery with some type of a relay like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/High-...spagenameZWDVW then you are in danger of frying your wiring harness. They say HID kits run at 3 amps compared to halogen that run at 25-30. What they don't tell you is that during warm up, the ballast can pull up to 35-40 amps through the bulb harness until the HID bulb reaches optimum temperature. This is why you need the relay and the direct connection to the battery, so when it pulls its warm up amperage, it is done directly from the battery through a wire designed to handle that type of amperage. It will also save the life of your HID bulb.
Note: Also, don't ever ignite your HID's on and off, rapidly. If you turn off your HID's, let them cool down for AT LEAST a couple of minutes before igniting them again.
