New to forum + Projector53 angel eyes

fellas,
pretty new to the forum and the X, however been on bimmerforums.com for many years with my e36 and then e34.
I just broke the seal on modding the X and picked up the Projector53s with the DDM 55W ballasts and 10K bulbs. I installed headlights and high/low beams work great (the color is perfect with the 55w ballast), however I do not know how to wire the angel eyes. My kit looks like this:

I remember splicing my angel eyes into the corner lights with my e36, but the plug looks like it is meant for something...
Any input is appreciated,
TIA

**EDIT** angels installed, check out link at bottom

Hi there UW & welcome,
I'm not sure if the following: http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/l...-2003-x5s.html will help. Note item 7 re pink A/eye wire (only 1 wire, not 2 though). I presume this h/light setup has ballasts included inside. Hopefully an Angel Eye black belt will turn up soon. You may need to quote year and engine size. I'll be interested to see the outcome as well.
GL

Pics of your ride please ??

I ended up cutting the plug and splicing the wires into the fog lights, for others who want to go my route this is what I did:
1: pulled out foglights from front bumper (http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/l...bs-bmw-x5.html)
2: cut the wires to the fogs, spliced in about 12" of my own wire to each of the wires (brown(-), yellow w/brown stripe(+)), I put a small knot around the wire I spliced into the brown wire so I would remember later
3: put the foglights back into the car, reached under headlights and pulled my spliced wires up.
4: connected black(from headlight) to brown(knotted), and Blue(headlight) to Yellow W/ brown stripe.

Everything works, I am going to go for a jog since the sun came out here in Seattle, hopefully will get a wash in and pictures up tonight.

I like the colour of your X and the h/lights look great.
