The extra wire from each loom adaptor (pin 11) needs to be run to the CECM, which is located up over the drivers footwell.

Here's a well read 'How To' on Bi-Xenon install.  I've still not done it  to my Xenons yet!

You'll have to sign up to the myturbodiesel forum to read the last details but its a very comprehensive guide.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

This is the next page of the article - one needs to sign up to myturbodiesel.com to read it - I have done so on a little used email address and they're not spammers!

You don't have to connect the yellow wires to the CCM (i haven't) but it just means you will not have Xenons on full beam flash.

I'd highly recommend putting in the extra effort for the bi-xenon function, the link's that Galxie posted are about the best guides i could find.

Xenons on high beam are immense  :jumping:

so i figuired out that if i conect the yellow shutter wire to the white wire on the high beam bulb i can have tohe shutters work just the same as if i were to run all the way upto fuse box.......this is only temporary,but im slightly worried maybe im supposed to run the wire to the fuse box for a reason?

can annyone tell me which pin/colored wire on the original headlight plug is the 1 for the main beam
thanks

I'm not a 100% sure but I'd imagine the shutters only take a couple of volts via the CECM, and wiring them to a full 12v signal will probably damage them.

Like you said, theres a reason for running them all the way to the drivers footwell.
