Question About Projector Headlight

Hey guys, I just ordered a set HID's for my truck and I'm thinking about getting a projector headlight assembly. I was considering this:

assembly but I'm not sure how I would wire it up. My truck just has one bulb for Hi/Lo beam but this headlight has two different places for lights. How would I hook them both up. BTW my HID's are just a single low beam.

The headlights will come with the bulbs needed. However, they will likely be different than the HID bulbs you just ordered. The projector lights use a H3 type bulb, which is smaller than the stock 9007 bulbs.

Most of them come with the necessary adapters/harnesses to wire them to the stock harness.

Oh I see. Well I guess I'll see how they look with the stock headlight assembly and if I don't like it I'll find something else. Thanks for the help and I appreciate the quick response

Any update to this? I am looking at replacing my headlights on my 03 and I kind of want projectors to go with my DDM HID kit, but I dont feel like ordering something that wont work, or I have to rig up to work.

My second choice would be just the clear Lightning style headlight.

Projector's will require completely different HID bulbs. So unless you want to sell your new HIDs, and buy more, go with the Lightning head lights. Plus projector's suck with light output because they are aftermarket.

Thanks for the help. Any pointers on where to get the lightning headlights? I see them on ebay and amazon all ranging from like $35 - $180 per pair, all looking the same to me.
