Question Wiring euro headlights in a W123

I need help. I bought some euro headlights off eBay and want to mount them in my 1982 240D. I see that they take two bulbs, one looks like a 3 prong H-4 I think, and the other I can't figure out. It has a red wire attached to the base, but no other visible connection. Also It came with the plugs to replace the US plug but I don't know how to wire it. Can someone point me in the right direction.

the bulbs you need are 9003 and H3, i use the silverstar bulbs in my 123, the seem to be much brighter, with out that annoying fake xenon look, i will see if i can find the wiring diagram i used for my installation.

Lightbulb

Thanks so much Ray!!! I
Ray I also got the clear corner light covers. What type bulb do you recomed for that? I was reading up on the Siverstar and they sound like just what I want.

Hos, I paid $185 for both the headlights & clear corner lights. From the seller ivm1 on ebay. I already had the 6 prong plugs, they came off the tail lights of a W115.
