Question Help! Euro light problems

Hello, tonight I got my euro lights. I ran into many problems! I'll split them up.

1) When I simply plug them in and turn on the marker lights, the turn signal bulb comes on, when I turn on the actual lights, only the city light works, and the actual headlight will only work when I hit the high beams.

2) I also got euro turn signals, and they are two prong, while my euro benz was converted to three. I think it was originally two because there looks to have been a high quality (yeah right) electrical tape job done. The "third" wire is red. What is the third wire for on US cars and can I restore mine back to two?

3) When I just plugged the lights in, the turn signals wouldn't flash, only stay on.

4) Where is the place on the euro lights that you plug in the vacuum aim adjust?

Remember, all this applies to a european car that was converted to US lights and now I am converting it back. I'm not sure exactly what was messed with as far as wiring and what wasn't except for that third wire on the signals. I don't know if the plug is the same or not. I love the city light feature, and want to definitely keep that.

Sorry for all the questions, but I didn't expect this many problems, esp. since mine is already a euro car. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
