There's a guide on CC|UK which shows you how to fit the HID's Direct kit, pretty much the same:

You paid double what they're worth.

Could have got bi-xenons for about an extra £10.

Bi-xenons have a solenoid that pulls the bulb back to let the light shine through a gap for full beam.

Other kits use 2 balasts.

You won't be able to flash anybody or have full beam with that kit.

The pictures you've posted they're not, unless they are only full beam but I doubt that.

Have you got a picture of the connector that connects to the current wiring?

They ARE Bi-Xenons

The glass bit that surrounds the bulb actually moves to create a higher beam when changing from low beam to high beam

Its the exact same kit I had for my 106gti
