I'm a little brain dead at the moment but the 2nd diagram's green optional wiring shows how that is done.
The 2 links are dead so I don't know what they showed.... ie: (stocwire_1.jpg and newwire_1jpg)
I have seen other posts about these setups but can't find them right now....

Can't have hi and low on at once unless you have 4 headlights or it will burn them out fast. (Think '96ish Chev Pickup)

Just thought I'd share a couple pictures of side by side lights of different types.
This is a 6000K HID (Passenger side) next to a 125W output "Euro" Style H4 bulb (drivers side), which is supposed to be 6000K like the HID bulb. The Euro style bulb is just a bright halogen with a light blue coating on the outside to change the kelvin tint to the light.
And this is a stock sealed beam halogen (Passenger side) next to the same 6000K HID bulb in the last picture.
Both times I metered the light off the HID bulb.

They are not projector, but reflector. There is a company that makes projector conversion lenses for both square and round, but I think they are more expensive..
The only pictures that I have right now are from a set of lenses that I got at first that were not the right type, but this is a general idea of what the light pattern should look like.
It might be hard to see, but the pattern is huge.

Has anybody tried the headlights that eBay sells?
As soon as my parts get in, I'm going to wire up relays to my stock lights, and make my decision from there on aftermarket lights.
Its hard to see in the pic, but is the light pattern pretty solid?
I know when i installed HID'S on my 02 cavalier, it had light and bright spots.
The headlight wasn't made for HID's so the pattern kinda sucked.
The light output was great tho.
