I have a 97 accord. I recieved my projector headlights. But i have a problem with the wiring. There are extra pos and neg wires along with the factory light clip. Where do i hook theres wires up too.

Your turn signal wires. I know on my Civic there are three going to the signal bulb and it will most likely be the same on yours, or any car. One red (pos) one black (neg) and one green or some other color (for the blinking signal) but leave that one alone. You can either solder it or do a ghetto-tastic wire twisting job...

i hooked the positives in with the proper factory light clips(the ones you snap the lights into) and the low beams come one but when i go to flip it to high beam the high beam dont light up

So you plugged the halo lights into the regular light plug? That will suck the power away from them... Just wire the halos into your turn signals because I grounded my foglights at the same ground my headlights were, and the headlights were 1/2 as bright.
Can you take some pictures?

The third wire sends the signal for the bulb to blink, while the red/black wires are for power only. When your parking lights are on your halos will be on also. When you flip your signal on, the halos are still using the power from your parking lights and only the turn signal bulb blinks.

Your wiring must be different from mine, sorry about that. You could always take them straight to the battery with an inline switch... I don't know what else to suggest.
