Default Wiring Angel Eyes?

I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips as to how exactly I should wire my angeleyes. These are the headlights i bought of ebay, they are the exact same ones that Juni bought. http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=8355 I have no idea as to how to wire the angel eyes though. There is a grey wire that is not connected to anything. Im guessing that i am supposed to somehow spice that into the corner light wires but which one exactly? I am lost, any help would be appreciated.

Follow this thread:

I pasted two pics that show the wiring.
No splicing necessary, if they are like mine.

I have read that thread many times and the headlights that you got are exactly the same as the ones that I got. The two manuals are the same too. I did not however wire this up at all ------>http://www.318ti.org/forum/attachmen...3&d=1131246292

Is this specifically for the angel eyes? How did you wire the grey wire up to the parking lights?

Mine came with wire taps, that pinch the corner light wires, and allow another wire to be added. Any auto shop has them. Look at the second picture, it shows the tap.

the grey one with a yellow stripe. if you want the corner lights to come on only when your turn signal comes on then remove that same wire from the corner light

By wiring them to the corner lights I assume that the angel eyes will be on at all times. Is this correct?

There is only one extra wire, and I have no idea why. I looked under my hood the other day, and I saw that open connector too.
