Bi-xenon hook up

Hello Everyone, I recently purchased a 1999 Carrera 4 here in Cyprus, and have been having a blast getting to know the car. I ordered new DS2 bulbs as I know light output fades over time. I went to install them and noticed the wires for the Bi-xenon shutter. I have been exploring a retrofit of bi-xenon projectors, so great to see that someone had already been in there and upgraded. I would like to know if all I need to do it hook them up to the Hi-beam wires for operation? The car is a UK import so I guess the previous owner started the project and never finished since washers and self leveling are mandatory to pass M.O.T. I checked the shutter with a 9 volt battery and they work fine. I guess I would also need to remove the high beam bulbs. Thanks for any and all advice

Retrofitting the lights is not that big an issue, but retrofitting the self-leveling feature is a bit of a nightmare, as it requires both sensors at the front and rear suspension, a wiring harness that runs the length of the car, and getting the DME to accept its existence. Not for the faint of heart or pocketbook….

Actually just interested in getting the bi-xenons working, not sure why they were not wired up since it appears to be aftermarket with two different types of ballast
