Adapters
If you have the adapters there is no need for spliceing or soldering. It's just plug and play

Bixenon Adapter
It's the adapter's for the bixenons. I allows your OEM headlight wire harness to plug into your Bixenons without splicing. Your xenons should have came with it but if they didn't there are places that sell them. Try www.performanceproducts.com

I doubt it. If you are looking to retrofit bxenons contact:
HIDTECH
They retrofitted them into my Hummer and did a great job.
Maybe they can help you.
