Trix,
I replied to your pm this afternoon.
Also, your headlights should not stay on 24/7 - based on the design of the relay harness. To turn on the lights the relay must be switched on by your stock headlight wiring harness. There should be a place to plug that into that relayed harness somewhere.
If you can, straighten out that relay harness you have and take some more pics so we can see each connector clearly.
GL!

John thanks I appreciate your input. I will post some more pics.
Well Onii I might just do that if I can't get these to work. Jun offered some help I will probably try another install in a couple of weeks.
edit: won't be able to do it tonight (more pics) they will come tomorrow.

shot 3 (below) i connect the ballast the bulb and the ground wire
1 is bulb connection
2 is ballast to wire
3 i guess that is the part that would have to connect to an energy source
4 ? i have no clue what to do i have a better shot of those wires.

Do you even have ignitors? I think ignitors are what get the bulbs or ballast turned on (I'm just guessing by its name).
Edit: This picture isn't an HID kit, but I think it might help

I have installed an Very old Philip Kit ( I belive it's first generation kit) on my celica. it's dose come with lot's of wire relay things.
but you are not "Required" to hook it up. just direct those two remain wire from ballast to your low beam. Then only thing that you need to do it upgrade you headlight fuse in the fuse box of you car (10 or 15). you should try one side on first. The only place that have high voltage is from ballast to HID bulb so watch out.

Did Zred tell you from what car he grabbed those HID's? Maybe those wires that you have left used to connect to the low beams of the car it was in, just as a source of power, you might not even need them....
I'm just assuming from the pictures.

Jun maybe you can take a look at them in person.

These wires connect to the stock harness. (what plugs into the back of the stock H7 bulb) there should be a pos, and a neg. inside the headlight.
This is where it gets its power from turning on your headlights to power the relays.
Hope that helps.
Don't forget to clean the bulbs of fingerprints before putting them back into the headlight.
