That was a nice lecture that had nothing to do with the question asked. Too bad it was a waste, as Xenon is far brighter and more efficient when used in automotive applications.
Carlos,
The lights plug directly into the factory harness, however you will have to mount the "XENON" ignitor ballasts in various positions in the engine bay. I don't know those positions exactly, because the 500SL 6.0 AMG I work on is an 89 and has them on an aftermarket strut bar. Everything else is plug and play.
Some housings have built in adjustment motors, that have a harness ran through the entire car for some sensors on the suspension - you will not need those. Just adjust the headlights to where they need to be and you'll be motoring with MUCH MORE light on the road.
