126 headlight connector question

Headlights on my daughter's 84 SD are dysfunctional. I think they are Euro's but I'm not totally familiar with the differences between euros and US versions. Not sealed beams. Lenses were pitted and holed and reflectors are rusted from water getting in the holes. So I thought the simplest solution was to swap in a complete set of headlights. Bought a set of US headlights from TomW (thanks)and started swapping them in today. But when I got the first one in, I realized the electrical connector is different. Externally they look the same but the headlights in the car have 5 pins and the US headlights have 4 pins. Also the pins are not in the same location in the connector so the low beam female pin in the existing connector does not go to anything on the US headlights.

Can anyone shed light on this who has done the swap from Euro to US or vice versa?
