I think there might be more involved to convert it. We were checking on this last week, there is a different front wiring harness, and some sort of control unit. You might be able to plug them in, but I don't think they will rotate without the control units and wiring.

Thanks Suncoast. Please do let us know if you do determine how to go about making the upgrade. Love your site, BTW and have purchsed products from you in the past and will continue to do so in the future as well.

i just did the first part of the swap. knowing that the control modules (the dynamic light has 2 modules instead of 1) are different as well as the wiring harness, i just want to make sure the dynamic light works first in a car that has the normal light. the basic function works fine - both low beam & high beam. there is an error code needs to be cleared. it was the cornering light function. done that, all good now.

obviously they don't turn like it suppose to be, but if anyone wants just the ''look'' it can be done. next i'll try switching the modules without the harness to see what happens.

Thanks for the info, 20C4S. Look forward to the results of the next step!
Getting ready to "GIAC' mine along w/ wheel replacement, new Mich. P2s in the rear and a major thorough detail. So, that will keep me busy for a bit before getting back to the lights.
Thanks much!

Does Suncoast sell a complete upgrade package for the Bi-Xenon lights, including modules? It’s been 12 - 13 years since this post, I’m assuming someone solved the upgrade challenge by now.
