You should have only one bulb with the HID's.

Take the headlight bulb out and replace it with the HID bulb.

ok we did that and we figured out how to connect most of the wires..the only thing we don't know how to do is connect a black and red wire coming out of the back of the headlight from the halos..where do we tie these up to? is black a ground, if so where does the red go?

Well if those are two wires from the halos like you say and you know black is ground, what other wire do you have (red) that will supply power to them and turn them on?

i know the red is the power wire i just don't know where to connect it to, when the parking lights go on i want the halos to light up to (i don't know if that helps determine where to put the wire) but there are three wires coming out of each parking light bulb, do i need to strip a specific wire and connect the red to one wire?
