You will need an adapter to install the OEM Bosch xenon version (2003 - later) into the 2000-2002 car. The plug are different. I saw some place sell these adapter for $10-15/each.

The plugs for the auto-level are the same, but the one for the headlight is a bit different.

Since your car already have xenon, you do not need to reprogram the car to recognize xenon, so that's the good news.

Once you have an adapter, it shouldl all work out, the internal of the Bosch version already wire to handle the bi-xenon feature. Notice that the Bosch bi-xenon projector run three wires (negative, hi-positive to trigger open, low-positive to maintain open), so don't try to wire them manually, you'll fry the bi-xenon solenoid in no time . The instruction from Ray work with most bi-xenon projector, except the Bosch E46 projector (used in this headlight)

Loosen up the front bumper a bit will make it much easier to install the light. If you need instruction, I'll put the WIS and post instruction here.

I am planning on doing this install over the weekend if my lights show up. Had a question on how the Bi-Xenon lights operate. When you turn high beams on the projector just raises, or does a halogen high beam bulb light up as well? Also, when you hit the blinker does the xenon flash or is there an another bulb that lights for this?
