I bought the 10-12 pin adaptors yeah, they have an extra wire to pin 11 that you have to wire back to the CECM for the shutters. It triggers to the shutter to open when you switch on the high beam. I think you can just hook it up to the inside halogen but then "flash to pass" wouldn't work properly (cant control the high beam xenon independently from the halogen).

I think I have the Xenons switched properly to LHD but I should shine the beams on a wall so I can see the pattern. Didn't notice any drivers that were aggravated at my lights on my drive to Sydney so that's a good start.

Yeah well you should post up a photo in a carpark. I'd be keen to see how it looks.
