Help needed!! (angel eyes) problem solved with pic

I bought a projector headlight from ebay which comes with the halo rings.
I had the headlight installed but just found out that they didn't send me inverters and wiring harness for those rings! There are plain wires from the headlight sticking out of the headlight. Can I tab it to the parking light wires without the inverters? If not, what should I buy? I am really lost. I will appreciate any kind of input. Thanks!

Weasel will become famous soon enough
Are the rings CCFL or LED? If CCFL the wires should have a certain style plug on them, and the seller should have included the inverters (maybe they're internally mounted?) If Led they just need to be tapped in to the right circuits.

Maybe pictures or a link to an eBay auction with the same seller and lights.

Thanks for the info. Here's the link for the headlight that I purchased.
I guess it's LED, right?

You need the inverters for those CCFL lights.

I just assumed that it's led and wired it to ECU and grounded it. It seems to be working. It's 2001 x5 3.0 that came with ugly halogens. It's 9 years old now and the headlight went yellowish and made it look worse. I'm happy with the result since it was really ugly before the mod. Thanks for the tips!!

I have heard horrible story's and reviews from umnitza.com, verging on borderline scammers.
