Unfortunately, these lights are not Plug in play, but it's pretty easy to convert.

Project Summary - Euro Headlight conversion
Difficulty Scale 2
Parts Cost $300+/-
Labor Time 1 hours
   

Parts you will need:

(2) Your new Euro Lights

(2) six-pin female molex connector -- 006 545 80 28 (socket) and

(2) 009 545 30 28 (cover) - ~$1.00 total/each

(I had to go to the main dealership in town, the online stores didn't have and my other dealership didn't have it)

& 2 H4 Bulbs (duh)

General Tools needed.

 

Once you get your lights, you will notice that they will not plug into your current 4 pin connector. This is the process of converting them:

1. Take out your old lights, sell on ebay :)

2. The standard adaptor looks like this:

1. fog lamp 12v+
2. ground (-)
3. low beam 12v+
4. high beam 12v+

Euro headlights look like this: (after you install the wires)

What you need to do is make the standard one, look like the above picture.

NOTE: Passenger side connector shown. Mirror for driver's side.

31 -- ground (-)
55 -- fog lamp 12v+
56a -- high beam 12v+
56b -- low beam 12v+
58 -- city light

(Only use 5 - The extra pin is for the "city light" feature.)

NOTE: Your pinout may vary! Ground wire is usually brown.

Then slap the back cover (009 545 30 28) on, and plug them in (they are keyed) and test 'em out!
