@Clavurion thanks I appreciate your reply.

I am however struggling to convert the electrical diagram into a pin out list.

I.e what I want to do is this:

Pin	Pre LCI halogen	Pre LCI xenon	LCI halogen	LCI xenon
1
2	Empty	Ground
3	Low beam (halogen)	Low beam (xenon)
4	Ground	Ground
5
6	High beam (halogen)	High beam (halogen)
7
8
9
10
11
12

Are the level adjustment motors the same in pre LCI halogen and xenon units, so the xenon leveling will work with the manual adjuster in the car?

So what im missing is what controls the halo rings (sidelights?), indicators, possibly what is on pin 5 (bi xenon shutter maybe, but what if its not a bi-xenon unit)?

@Clavurion thanks that's great info.

So I think I could not wire in pin 5 at all, and just forego the shutter mechanism functionality, so high beam lights the high beam lamp but doesn't open the xenon shutter.

In which case I'd only need to mod the pin 4 ground connector.

Would you know if the car needs to be coded to stop any canbus type errors on this quite simple xenon swap?

And I think you're saying that the manual leveling control will work just fine with the xenon units?

Is it the sidelights (pin 1) that controls the halo rings?
