This is such a cool mod.
I don't have any shots with my old setup, but here it is with an identical one in the day time

It should work once you get the new plug.

Finished up the assembly and install of the MH1 retrofit I did for my buddy's 02. The chrome was a PITA to do but it looks killer in a really subtle way

A note to anyone doing this they've changed the harness up and there's a ballast and control box for each side. You have to switch the white and red wires on the input plug to get the high beams to work.

I mounted the ballasts to the ground bolts on the core support and zip tied the boxed in place near by
