Chillaxed 240sx

I have searched ... I found a few other threads with this question, but no one ever answered them.
Can someone please tell me how to wire in the headlights? I plan on doing the conversion within the next few months but I want to have all of my information availible before I lay down any cash on the parts. I have seen headlights with and without the wires sticking out the back. I am assuming that I should buy the lights with the wires sticking out of the back ... and I am going to be buying triple beam projectors since they seem to be the easiest to find and what comes with most of these kits that are for sale.
I have gone through trying to piece together a kit, but they end up being more expensive than a lot of kits that are out there. I have found cheaper parts on eBay, though, but most of the lights on eBay are lacking the wires in the back.
Also, how do you wire up the corner lenses? I have not searched on these as of yet, but I just saw them as I was looking at the list of parts for a conversion, and I forgot to ask this question.
But if someone could please post up a write up or point me in the directions of one on how to wire those headlights in to replace the stock bulbs in my S13, then that would be excellent.
btw - this is an S13 Silvia conversion, NOT the S15 or S14.
EDIT:
I found something detailing it on Sport Compact Car's website ... they say the headlight plugs directly into the stock headlight wiring harness for the 240sx, but does this work for the original Halogen bulbs only, or can it be applied to a Triple Projector headlamp?
