Looking for the headlights pinout

So this time I have 08 CLK with adaptive xenon headlights. Each headlight has 2 connectors - 4-pin and 6 -pin (or 5 pin, don’t recall for sure). Headlights were broken so I had a chance and got 2005 non-adaptive xenon headlights from 2005. Left headlight same connectors as 2008, but right headlight have 3 connectors! I was able to connect 2 connectors, but obviously don’t have wiring for 3rd.
When turned on left headlight works as it should (at least seemed to). Right headlight was working for a few seconds and then controller that is mounted on the bottom of the headlight burned down. 3 controllers later plug that was plugged into the controller also melted , so I need a wiring harness for the right headlight

Also I need the wiring diagram for 08 and 05 xenon headlights to compare it - I still don’t know if the wiring it different in those 2 connectors that are matching in size or the problem is with the wiring inside the headlight.

if someone have internal wiring for 2005 xenon headlights- let me know as well

Looks like the wiring is different for C2 connector (4-pin) between 2005 and 2008 headligts. No wonder it baked C1 connector (5 pin I guess) is the same though.
