Halogen to bi-xenon

So I pick up a 2 of bi-xenon headlights from a junkyard today they're in great condition, except for the age on the cover which can be restored easily. My question is is there another way to make low beams work without splicing wires? And would the adaptive features and auto leveling work? Or would I need to get the module too?

Adaptive and auto leveling will not work unless you retrofit all the required parts and code properly.

Is there anyway to just make auto leveling work along with low beams adaptive is not really needed

You'll need to retrofit the headlight leveling sensor and code it. Not sure exactly what's involved with that.

The sensor is attached to the front left lower control arm. From there I have no idea where the wires go or where it connects to the electronics.
