Default Need Help with HID install..

So I got a little ballsy and purchased a used headlight with anHID installed. My question is what do I do with a couple of the other wires. Red #1 and Black #2 go to the battery. Than I have one white wire and the black #2 that go to my HID box.

So my question is what do I do with the following wires
-Black #1 - was snipped
-White #1 - was snipped
-White #2 and Black #3each go off into connectors

Thanks in advance!

just use the necessary cables to make the HID on. tape off the rest remember that you are using an oem HID and the other cables may be attached to some other parts of the car like the high beam per say.

So the two snipped ones I can just tape off and the two with connectors I just run into the stock wire harness?

yeah do that. about run it into the stock harness i've read and experienced that running the HID into the harness may cause some problems, see, i had mine into the harness for a couple of months then the HID starting acting up (flickering) then did a research bout it and seems like theres some problem (at least with my bike) when you running it into the harness so i made a switch and ran it directly to the battery and that fixed the problem.
