I started swapping in the new headlights on the Rabbit last night, and the plugs on the headlights don’t match the ones on the car.
The real problem is ones has 3 wires on the headlight only has 2 plugs. If anyone has an idea of what’s going on here and how I could fix it that’d be great.
EDIT: so I’m a stoopid person. The treason that the blind don’t hook up is that there are no bulbs, behind that spring is just a dust cover, that’s where the bulb goes. And the plug that is there is for a small running light. duuuuh apparently I was too tired to figure that out last night
Hears a close up on how awful the old lights are

Your car most likely takes an H4/9003 bulb, but the bulbs you got look like H7 bulbs. You can buy an adapter like this and wire it into your harness.

Huge improvement. Nice.
Is it a single filament light?
If it is a single filament light then just hook it up to the ground and the low wire from the switch.

That seems pretty easy, but I’m worried that I won’t have high beams,

You’re best bet is to find an actual H4/9003 bulb to swap in there.

I’m actually a big dummy. That plug is for the running light. The housings don’t have a bulb in them and there was just a little dust cover for shipping where the bulb goes. So I just need to pick up some H4 bulbs. Not the ones that were in the car tho, those are cheap blue HIDs.
