My 8 ball says "ask again later".
Take better pix and then ask the question again. I can't even see what's in your hand. it looks like a red and a black wire with a white thing on the end.

you trying to get the bulbs out? or the wires? you never supposed to take the wires out they should always be there, always!! and NEVER CUT any wires! you've got an RD1 so the headlight bulbs should use a twist action.
it's a bulb that has two prongs, and to get the bulb off you have to twist it directionally until the prongs match up to their openings.
it should tell you the direction, and should be a half twist.
if you're thinking of installing HID's on them, that wire you're holding should plug into socket sticking out of the ballast, depending on what kind of HID's you have. the new ones come with extensions. like i said, everything is plug and play when it comes to HID's.

i think you took apart the ground wires! although red and black are the power ones so it looks like the sockets are missing or something.
there should have been a socket for the 9006's. see if there is a socket by looking at how the 9005's are hooked up.

WTF are you talking about?
Don't you read instructions or look at DIY's listed before you install stuff?
You've got it right in that last picture, now just stuff the shit inside.

they are installed now. i dont have the black harness that the rd2s have. i have a small green harness. the two copper tabs would not fit inside the stock green harness without modification (i cut them down to size)
i have them in and they are beautiful
