If you look at my 3rd picture, you can see the wires sticking out of the rubber gasket - just cut a small hole in the rubber (you may need to remove the gasket first to get a better appreciation of where to make the cut) and thread the wires through. I'll make sense after you take off the gasket and look inside. You can use silicone to seal up the cut then, but the recessed nature of the gasket and the rubber itself should provide and adequate seal I think even without it.

Has anyone had any problems with the angel eyes burning out or anything? I want to order these asap, but want some more firsthand feedback first

the angel eye is more like a bright white, like an angel's halo! my 4300k bulbs looked yellow next to it when looking close up... but from a distance with flicker, it looked closer to it.

so i'd guess around 6000k would match it... but the light output wont be as good... maybe 5000k for a balance between output and white looks.

The angel eyes never "burn out" or die unless they crack. The power inverter does go out sometimes, but easdily replacable and it doesnt require opening the lights again. Plus you got a 1 year warranty
