cutting up the wiring and half assing it is going to get you into trouble
using wires that arent made to be used in that application is dangerous and could cause fires, shorts, dead battery, many other issues

do the new headlights use 9003 bulbs?
what brand are they?
resize the pics using paint or some other program and then post them

the clearer the post explains the problem, and the more appreciative of getting help you are, the better job HAN will do to help you fix your problem

honsestly i would look for stock headlights and stock wiring, and get rid of projectors, they will not fit perfectly, leak, and not have as good of light output as stock
IMO they are also ugly as hell
but its up to you as its your car

depends... if you use the right gauge wire, and correctly splice it, there shouldn't be a problem. but we're still blind as to what he did exactly, and what he's working with.....

do the new headlights use 9003 bulbs?
99.9% sure they are, since all the 96-98 projectors retain the H4/9003 bulb

what brand are they?
if he knows this, I'd be shocked. ebay special, more than likely

and this is a matter of opinion. some people don't care about fitment/quality.

Yea all the assumptions are correct they came off of an ebay store but there brand new headlights I don't really know about a brand name but it says DENJI or something like that on the cover for one of the bulbs on the back. I don't know the problem though if there new they shouldn't have a problem right? Well thanks to the lying assholes at ebay you never know. I'll take pics tomorrow and put them on here. And I have the stock headlights here in my garage, but there all foggy looking I was going to use a rubbing compound and a high grit sandpaper to clean them. But it said these were better than stock they use an H3 bulb. Your also right about fitment there is a small gap on one of the headlights by the fender but it' no big deal. Thanks for the help guys its much appreciated!!!

if the lens on your stock lights is all foggy, take your projectors appart the same time you do your stock lights, and use the projector lens instead.
