Ok, I've ordered these lights:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7922103928

They're "depot" lights... looks like the bulbs are sealed in :-\ and the connectors on the lights do not fit onto anything.

They included some harness thingy that plugs into my OEM light harness and the other end is just a finished wire w/ a metal tab.

Anyone know what I need to do? Solder the new wires to the headlights? :(

Yes, came it Sat AM, car is apart now, lights not fitting well (will try again tomorrow) and after spending all of 49 seconds looking at the wires, I just posted the question... thinking that someone may already have the answer. :)

I'll call you tomorrow...

the lights in my euro car have an H1 bulb with only one terminal..one tab goes onto that (12v) and the eart goes onto a tab on the housing....hth

double check everything with a voltmeter so you dont fry anything before you solder it back to life.

Everything should work fine, lights are in, need to get bulbs however (did not come w/ any)... no soldering needed. :)
I have a bad habit of asking a question before spending a minimum amount of time thinking of how to do something. :(

The lights give me an option of wiring "city-lights", those funky euro parking lights on top of the low-beam... I'll prolly skip that.
