Picked up a set of Ddm tuning kit and there's a open blk and red wire, how Does that connect to the car stock headlight harness & does anyone know where I can get some of those retainer clips to hold the hid to the housing

What retaining clip? You use the same bulb base you have for the headlights and use the same clip thats in the headlight to hold the HID bulb in place.

Also, you can wire the HIDs to the stock wiring but its highly frowned upon since you pull alot more ampage to fire up the ballast. Some folks swear it will burn the oem wires out. Its always a good idea to run a relay setup with power from the battery and the oem wiring acting as the switch for the relays.
