Projector Headlight Question HELP!

I was fortunate enough to be given some brand new truck projectors for the full size 88-94 chevy pickups. Exactly what flynlow92rs has on his car.

My noob question for you guys out there, if you can help, is how best to wire up the new setup into the factor harness. I do not have the money or time to change the harness yet, and just need to do this safely for a few weeks until I can upgrade. (or is that not necessary?)

The truck projectors carry the 9000 series bulbs, and the low beam (eye) projector has only two, neg and positive, lines coming out of it, even though our low beam stock setup is a three prong female, while our high beams are a red/black negative. What is the best way to change this over so that I can have the stock function of these lights?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! (and yes I've been searching the boards and did email flynlow but he's not answering and I haven't found an answer yet)

Here is what the upgraded stock style harness looks like, that uses relays.



You will notice that part of that is so that the highs and lows are on at the same time. With only 2 prongs, you will only have 1 on at a time, unless you look at the scematics, and get creative.
