2002 to 2004 headlamp retrofits need help

Ok so I got into a fender bender and the left headlight is broken so I thought I could upgrade my headlights to the newer style lights but there’s a extra wire for the auto leveling I believe.
the word out there there’s a adapter kit for the lights but I have been searching for almost 2weeks and the car will be finished next week.
I’ve looked on eBay and the 03 /06 light are Available but I can’t find the adapter kit.
I found a company autowerks direct but there out of business.
can anyone help I really don’t want to pay 300 for a old style light when I can pick up a nice pair of upgraded light for 200

Mercedes-Benz CL 500 2002 Brilliant Silver Metallic
Hi. If you purchase the headlights (complete with xenon control unit) from the CL C215 Restyling (Q4 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006), is it possible to install them plug and play on the CL C215 (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, up to Q3)? I think the dimensions/aesthetic shape are identical, but the restyling ones have a different internal and external design of the lenses. Has anyone tried this installation? Thanks.

1999 2000 2001 2002 until Q3 models:

Q4 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 models:
