Default Help with wiring my new headlights?

I recently purchased this kit off
http://www.ebay.com/itm/301783875488?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I began the install tonight only to find out the headlights I purchased were using a 6 pin connector while my car has an 8 pin connector. I've searched through a ton of threads and can't seem to find any answers.. I REALLY want these lights on my car so if anyone could help me out here a little on my options I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Looks like this setup was to replace headlights with out HID's if you already have HID's and it did not come with an adapter, you may have to splice some wiring. Not sure if it's worth it to each there own though.

Buy a $3 test light and figure it out. It's not that hard.

Very politely ask your boyfriend to next time leave it on your forehead instead of on your tongue, that should help.

As for the others who actually attempted to help, thank you I appreciate it. Every one has their own opinions and I just happen to like those lights. I do have the HID ballast kit that came with them so I can still run HID's in them. I'm just a fan of the blue led halos around the lights and the smaller led's above the lights. If anyone has any recommendations for some other housings/lights that would be plug and play I'd love to take a look at them. My only option right now is taking it into the shop Wednesday morning and seeing if the guy there can splice it all together to make it work.

You can get Halo Kits from Oracle Lighting, The Retrofit Source, or whatever you can google.

Gents,
I completely appreciate the views on this subject, a user needs help and asks for it. Some have seen the problem many times. At times when working on things we don't understand it is difficult and frustrating. I get it. Profanity/name calling will not be tolerated. At all.

I think we should step away from the keyboard when provoked or impatient. This forum is about learning and helping others.

If you have a temper, please workout before logging on.
Preesh.
