You need a pair of 9005 connectors to fit the bulbs.Im just waiting for some to turn up from the states as im going to make up some plug/play leads to work like the sti lights which is what you have in the picture on the right.Ps you will also need a pair of H4 male adapters to plug into your oe loom.

Your low beam connectors are usually bullet type used as i see it looks like you have the uk sti type fitting,and god knows where you buy them,so they will need to be converted.Ps they will need to be wired differently in order to use both beams on high,hope this helps.

Basically you need a pair of mini looms.That way you don't cut up the original harness.On your old lights high /low beam were one bulb,with the new ones its two seperate light units.With your old wrx lights you have either low beam on or high beam on but never both at the same time.With sti lights you can wire them in a way to make them work like on the sti cars,which is low beam on and when you switch to high you have low and high beam lit together.

The parts you need to make the loom are,2x male H4 connectors and 2x 9005 connectors,plus 4 bullet connectors,and in a ideal world i solder all my wires and heatshrink them and fit all the wires in tubing to make it look original,but you dont have to do this.
