The high beams are probably the same connectors (Halogen bulbs). The low beams on the S15 headlights are projectors. You need a HID kit for the low beams. You can probably take an X-Acto knife and cut the bulb casing so it fits into the headlight housing or something to that extent.

P.S. Did you cut a hole in your radiator bracket to fit the headlights, or you just buy new brackets? Also, can you tell me where you got the fenders, bumper, and lights for the conversion?

All the s15 low beams were projectors, but that doesn't mean they were hid. Some came equipped with factory HID, others did not. Race on usa should have given you some kind of pigtails with the lights. Call them and check to see if you got everything and what you need to do.
