Remove the factory bulb from the socket, and that black piece plugs in to where the bulb was
Ya... I figured that out eventually. It still doesn't fit though, looks like the wrong size. I bought it used from someone so I'm guessing they are the wrong ones. Guess I'll order some off the website. The rest of the harness works great and I have it all installed. Pics tomorrow after I wash it.
Quick pic of the finished product.
Yes. That's how it is in the above pic. First car with HIDs... HUGE difference. I was very surprised. The harness works great(so far) and is easy to install.
what exactly is this again please? my ambers stay on and i don't understand how to turn them off...
You have to cut one of the wires. I'll take a pic later of which one I did. Can't remember off the top of my head.
i recall some people posting that they cut a wire and then lost everything so i didn't dare try... if you please take a pic it would be much appreciated!
Did ur contacts look notched on one side like this one?? I just got mine, haven't installed yet. But I figure this has the same effect as cutting the wire. Maybe they're being sent like this now.
i do not recall seeing that notch... damn 
yeah I snipped the black wire as posted a few pages back, ambers went out, but no turn signals at all so I gave up frustrated lol
Here you go guys
wow... hm.
had a miserable night. one of my d3s hid bulbs went out. went to the nearest ford dealership and it's nearly $400cdn ($350-ish usd?) for just one bulb, and they did not have any in stock. so i had to go to a regular car electronics place and bought a no name set from taiwan. the lowest ones they had were 6000k and can only be bought as a pair so i got them for around $140usd.
then i tried to at least replace the blown bulb out in the parking lot... and i couldn't do it. can anyone remember how it's done? i've pulled and twisted but because i can't see anything i don't know what i am missing.
any help appreciated. thanks.

What are you having trouble with? Getting inside the assembly or getting the bulb out of the mount?also you can get oem bulbs for $40-50 a pair on eBay.

i can't get the bulb out of the mount.
ebay stuff is crap. the last time i bought hid bulbs online it lasted about 2 months at most. and i can't wait for shipping.

D3S bulbs are super expensive, I'm about to sell my OEMs bulbs soon since I'm changing to another temp, but I know u need a new one asap :-/ and I'm not ready to pull mine out quite yet... Even tho it's just sitting in the garage, check out eBay for OEM bulbs
with the headlight mounted on the car, are those clips on the top or on the bottom?
thank you so much. now i know why my fingers are so cut up... i am going to try this again tomorrow morning.

No problem, good luck, these are much more difficult than the 10-12 D3S bulbs. When I get my new bulbs I'll put them in before installing the housings on the car... I still haven't installed my 13-14 lights yet, might wait till it's less frigid out
