Can someone help me out as I have no idea what I am doing I have a set off morette headlights with cables like this.
and these are the cables my car has after I have removed the headlight.
How the hell do I wire these in or am I missing something?
Thanks.

They should just plug & play if they're the right ones for your car,
but that wiring don't look standard.

That wiring is standard. As it stands you car is h7 and the morettes are h4x ideally a plug and play job is using adapters. Ie h4>h7 adapters. You can hardware them using the harness that would be in your crystals,

Take the connector out of the crystals and the plugs and then get back to us on here,

they should just plug straight it but make sure the wire running to the fuse box has a fuse in it, mine arrived and had no fuse so had to get another cable off here

dont forget to put the electronic adjusters from your crystals into the morettes.
Ideally buy adapters as if you take them out your crystals they become useless - you can keep them as backup or sell for £30 +..

Middle light needs earthing. See the yellow part that has been cut, mannual add a earth cable to that.
The light on the right, Full beam headlight, one of those cables is the earth, at a GUESS it would be black,
