You need two wires per bulb - a positive feed and a earth - it's not brain surgery

I know it can seem confusing, but forget about all the H4/H7 stuff. Your car is H4 but the lights are no longer H4 or H7 because someone has cut the connectors off, they are just H-Nothing at the moment lol.
The black triangle plug from your car supplies 3 pins,
Dipped+
Main+
Earth-
Just make sure each bulb has two wires comming from it, and connect the negative of both bulbs to earth, Then the positive feed from each bulb to the correct feed from the plug, then your good to go.

Is the 3 pin plug h4? Because my crystals dont use this they use a different plug. If i buy the pins that fit onto the.bulbs and connect them to the relevant pin on the 3 pin plug will that work? Also, can you buy these from halfords?

Right so... buy a bulb connector for the nearside and connect one wire to the positive and one to the earth on the 3 pin plug.
Get the yellow wire from the offside light, find out which pin is the ground and stick it in there and it should work?

You need an auto electrician with a collection of proper waterproof connectors. Those connectors are something like Ecosse would use. You don't want to do that,

dunno if this is any help to you, just remove relay out of the circuit if not using one........
the h7 plugs that connect to lights can be found at most car shops so i would think halfords would have them.

Oh my mistake, When I wrote that I was thinking all morettes used H1 bulbs and had H4 or H7 plugs (although now I think about it im sure I was thinking about angel eyes).
That diagram northants posted is perfect, just follow that and remove the relay if you dont want/cant work out how to put it in.
