Default S430 Headlight Installation.

I just bought the S430 2003 headlight assembly to install in a 2001 S430, I'm wondering does anyone know if they would fit since they only two years apart and some informations on how to install them would be great, thank you

Straightforward replacement i understand SO LONG AS Xenon for Xenon, Halogen for Halogen.
Be warned. Xenon use very high voltage (20k).

Default RE: S430 Headlight Installation and rewiring question

I just did an headlight upgrade from a 2001 S430 to the 2003 S430 HID headlights, mine was already HIDs so I just did a switch, . the high beam and low beam are working just fine, but the little yellow side lights, the fog lamps and the turning signals are not working properly. my question is, are there any rewiring to do, if so can I do it myelf or do I have to take to the dealer.

Sorry can't help further.
Maybe their is a difference between USA, Euro and UK specs?
I guess the cluster vendor will know since they will have had lots of feedback if other customers have the same problem.

I guess since the 2001 wire adapters are different from the 2003 wire adapters, my question is there a place where I can buy tha aftermaket adapters that would fit.
