Default Pre Lci Halogen to Lci Bi Xenon

So i need some help on splicing the connectors.I have the oem retrofit kit. The car has 7 wires to each headlight, The lci bi xenon headlights i purchased are adaptive although i do not plan on using that feature. If someone could explain to me exactly wire to wire that would be appreciated,Thanks.

I have searched and searched. There are a ton of random posts but none with legit information on exact wire to wire install.

The link doesnt have the wiring diagram for xenon e60 headlights. Any other information from members who have completed this retrofit would be appreciated!

Thanks, Ive recently read through those posts. The issue im having is my harness has one headlight connector. The xenon cars have two connectors with more wiring. I know a few guys on here have done the conversion, hopefully they'll chime in soon

Take a look at this wire diagram that I found. Are you talking about the pin 1 (brown) for Xenon only from the diagram? From what I know of our E60, brown is ground wire. I might be wrong, but I think that might be the dedicated ground wire for the Xenon ballasts.
