Halo style headlight install question.

Halo style headlight install question.
So, my 2006 Cobalt got hit, and while replacing the hood, and fixing the bumper, etc etc etc I decided that i wanted a new set of lights. Now, I like these lights and bought them,
But the problem is they came with no paperwork. I was told to wire the LED's into the clearance lights if i want, but what about the Halo Rings?
This is one of the first real mods to my Cobalt ( a 2006LT2 with 67,000 miles) and so having never looked at the wiring before I am a little confused.
Anyone else install these style lights before and can offer advice?

Okay, so the wires for the leds at the bottom are white and black ( white to brown, black to black on the clearance light wiring, yes?) And the Halos sseem to be two sets of red and black wires. Where do I splice those into / am I correct in thinking how I am for the LED's?

Thats how he explained to have have them run, When the DTRL or on the Halos are not but when the headlights come on they do too.
I paid $130.00 plus $40.00 shiping (Canada) for mine, and Ebay was the only place I could find them.
The only problem I have now is getting a H1 HID bulb, the HID kit I had was a 9007 kit and the new lights came with H1's. Once you have HID's you can't do back, I can't see a damn thing, lucky for me I put in Piaa foglights that are blinding so it works.
Do you think I will just be able to swap the bulbs or do I have to order a whole new kit, I have the 6000k kit with Philips Balast, if I go oh well its worth it, they look good now but with the HID's it should be sick.
cobaltspeced- Could you post a picture with a better shot of them stripes, are they paint or stickers, and how much did they run you? I looked through your images but theres no full car shot in there
That pic I put up was done right after I put them in so heres a better one...Oh alright I'm just a ***** and wanted to slap up a better pic, so shoot me
