Default HELP with retrofitting JDM headlights

So I decided to buy JDM headlights and retro fit them . But I am in a world of pain . The guy I bought of gave me some custom looms from America but they have bits wrong with them (ballast connection) but the main problem is the indicator bulb plug/holder from the euro headlights don't fit the JDM ones .
Can you good people who have experience of retrofitting these headlights help me or tell me where I can get the parts to fix this .

It looks a proper pain. TECHNOPUG has just done this to my old wagon. Really glad I didn't try to do it. ..

It's a pain trying to modify the wrong loom to work - at least figuring it all at. Would be very simple now I know what to do.

Which model Impreza? Bugeye's need the ballasts wired individually to Earth in order to stay on when switched to high. Blobeye's need the switch feed taken from the low beam to do similar.
