Got my kit delivered and just had a little look at it. However, the wiring and plugs are not what I expected. I thought it would be simply a case of plug and play.

I have plugged the bulb into the ballast and vice versa, however I am only left with a black and a red wire with spade connections on the end. I guess these have to go to the original headlight plug? If so, that means I will have to cut the original plugs off and splice the new ones in.

Is this correct?

yeah buy a CRIMPING KIT from halfords and HEATSHRINK sleaves(for waterproofing) and snip the box off and put female spades on the remaining wiring connect the spades then slide the heatshrink over the connections and blast with a hairdryer. easy!

Just to clarify, you have two types of projector lenses...HID and halogen. Both look similar, but have different focal points. You can fit HID in halogen projectors which will reduce beam scatter.

And no Craig, you cannot retrofit projectors in non projector headlights as the auto levelling will not work and the projectors would stick out from the back.
