Those headlights use an H1 bulb. Those cables you bought are adapters. They adapt aftermarket ballasts with AMP connectors to be able to use D2S bulbs. You don't need those adapters for those headlights. You'll need them if you get OEM projectors that use a D2S bulb though. I don't see a pic of ballasts or bulbs, so I can't tell you if you bought the right ones for those projectors.

For those headlights, you need H1 HID bulbs and aftermarket ballasts to power them. Technically you don't need a relay harness, but it will help with consistent/cleaner power (especially if you go with 55 watt).

Those headlights have average ebay projectors. Not bad but not great either (there are others that are worse and some that are better). Plenty of room for improvement. If you really want the best output, get better projectors. Either good aftermarket projectors (like Morimoto) or OEM (like RX330, RX350, TL...etc). Take a look at the Lighting FAQ for more info.
