Eduardo, well, the lights are double sided taped to the outside of your headlights. So, mounting is not a problem. The wires for these would then slide in the little gap between the headlight and the grille surround. So, getting the wiring out of sight seems to be covered. Now, for wiring them to the car:

White light control would get wired to the brown-green wire on the left side headlight, this same wire gets wired to the gray-orange wire on the right hand side.
Yellow light control would get wired to the white-orange wire on the left side headlight, the same wire gets wired to the violet(purple)-green wire on the right hand side.
The ground wire gets bolted to the structure of the car or you can tap it into the black wire for both sides.

Eduardo, not sure what you are meaning by your question of "explain what do you mean by wired?". For these to work, they need a power source. So, you need to tap into some wire on the car. What I mentioned above in my original post is wiring that would be readily available right at the headlight housing. So, the need to run wiring all the way back into the cabin of the car would not be required. This also allowed for the light to change colors to match your turn signals.

These don't just take the light of the headlight and redirect it. They emit their own light, independent of the headlights if you so wire them that way. What I stated in my original post is how I see them being used. If you have a different idea, let me know and I can let you know what wiring you can tap into to give you the functionality that you are after.

It was explained in post #2. If you still have questions maybe you should show Thermo's response to someone who knows about wiring electrics.
