Depends on your kit, some are "plug & play", some got relay kit, & some need extra earth washer.

im not sure theres a bulb with a wire that runs off and has like a tab to plug in to something so id say it is "plug and play"

umm...they are not HID globes, they are just xenon gas filled globes. Look at the back of your head lights and behind where the low beam bulbs are (the ones closest to the engine. I think) there should be a black L shaped plug. Just turn that anti clockwise and it should come out with the bulb attached. Take the bulb off and put the new one in.
There shouldn't be any wires attached to the bulb. What size bulbs did you buy?

If there is a wire coming off the side it sounds like you got H3's which ain't going to help if you bought them to replace your headlights. H3s go in the fog

The black L shaped thing is built around the bulb and comes attached to other bulbs that you buy.
Just take it down to Repco or Super Cheap and they can sought you out.

They looks like normal bulb with film tinting to get the white look, as devil2004 said, its basically twist & turn & the hight light will come out.
And no, they are no where near as bright as the real HID.
