Retrofitting Bi-xenons to a Xenon 2000 S500
Need help/advise on how to make the New Bi-xenons work on the old Xenon system. I have attached pics so that you can see the dilema. Old has two sockets of which one is squarish. The newest light has three sockets of which only one (i believe the main power socket) is the same as on the old light.
So please let the advise or better yet, the solutions flow!

the new one
the new one with complimentary 3 sockets! I believe one of the outer two sockets is a range adjuster and the other the shutter control for the bi-xenon bulb/light. Not sure which is which yet. The center socket is similar if not identical to the one for the Xenon light.

There are three different connection points. The 6 pin connection is a direct plug for the lights' power. The square 4 pin connector is for the self leveling connection and needs to be replaced with an in-line 4 pin connector. This is available from MB, and the old wire pins just need to be inserted into the new straight line connector. The three pin connection point on the new lights should be the same as the old and is used for grounding.

A custom made conversion unit was built to handle the conversion.

But I don't think Anssonnn ever followed up with the completed projest.
Performance parts sells the lights and says they include an adaptor that you need to splice in. Would like to see a success story on this.
