Default Wtf???

So......I'm installing Custom Dynamics headlight and passing lamps in my 2010 RK.
So far I'm ONLY on the headlight.
First........is the CD plug supposed to be flush with the HD H4plug?
The CD plug does not fully seat into the H4 plug.
Is that an issue?
The headlight comes on fine but no brights when I flip toggle switch.
Next........When I opened up the headlight housing I found all of these open ended wires!
6 of them......see photo.
The headlight comes on.......but, again, I can't get brights.
The spots come on fine.
The directionals work fine.
So.........why are there all these wires that lead nowhere?
I'm not gonna seal it up until I hear from you more knowledgeable folks.
But Id REALLY like to finish up this weekend!
Tx!!

Looks like some accessory wires the previous owner added in for something. Where do they go?
