R34 How do you wire non xenon lights to xenon wiring?

I had to replace my headlights on my GT-T and instead of buying the expensive xenon ones again i bought the non xenon ones. The thing is my GT-T has factory xenon wiring so the plugs didnt match up. So i got someone to temporarily hardwire them so they are running off the spotlight cable. So much so that i dont even have both the fuses in for the headlights in the fuse box and i have all the headlights are still turning on through the spotlights. I only need to turn the headlight stalk once and all the lights turn on. THE HIGH BEAMS DONT WORK THOUGH.

 Is there any kind of adapter that is plug and play to convert xenon to non xenon wiring? Is there a headlight loom i can change? or is my only bet getting a auto electrican to hard wire them professionally?

Also is it safe to drive with this temporary spotlight step up? dont want to start a fire or nothing.

 

thanks

Trace the wires back, there should be a plug somewhere (sorry I haven't worked on R34 wiring/headlights). The ballast will need to get a feed somewhere, so there should be a point where you can unplug and wire in (or get the halogen headlight loom somehow).

I did this on my car, I had the "Xenon" lights that had been mangled by compliancing.
From memory, the Xenon wiring just has 4 wires whereas the non Xenon has 3. 2 are grounds.. the others are the same colours.

All I did was unplug the old headlight, cut off the plug that was in the xenons.. and match the colours of the wires coming out of the non-xenon plug.
Worked perfectly.

Not sure if I can but in Canada I need DRL to drive my R34, so i have a relay which when connected to the LB will run with them on and shut off when car is off. However I can not find where the damn supply goes into the damn Xenon lamp. I tried that small connector in between tested it and no power was going to it but lights works? Why connect something to a lamp when it seems to have no purpose? Anyway a pic would be best or description of general area. I/m thinking of buy a 20 in Light bar and dropping it in front in defiance, lol.
