Projector housings with LEDs - How to wire them?

I bought projector headlight housings to replace my burnt out oem ones. The new ones have LEDs on the sides, and have a set of 1 red and 1 black wires on each side. I'm wanting to wire them to my parking lights. How would I wire them in? I know a little about electrical but I want to make sure. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

Nevermind I figured it out on my own. It was easier than expected. Spliced into the parking lights wires connecting to my signals and work as I wanted. They look great.

Don't put HIDs into a non HID projector housing. Not only is it illegal, but your light output is obnoxious and unsafe to others.

I was unaware that there are projector housings for HIDs. But from the same seller I got them from, DNA Motoring, also offer the same housings with an HID kit.
