That is correct. Person told us we need to connect those wires to the stock harness, which we don't have. We looking today to purchase the missing wire. Wish us luck!

Hi Bee Vee
We took our car to couple installers yesterday and both advised that we needed OEM ballasts. Found some very good deals on used ballasts on eBay.
Let me know how yours turned out!
