Help - How to Install Euro Headlights/Turn Indicators? 700

Hi guys,

Got some Euro Headlamps and Turn Signal/Marker lights from Ebay from a guy in Denmark. I think I can figure out how to physically mount them in my 1990 745T, but am wondering about the electrical connections. They came with the electrical plugs/sockets, but the wiring was cut just a few inches back from the sockets on the euro lights. How would I interface these sockets to the exisiting setup on my car? Also, any thoughts as to how the "bulb out monitor" will react to spliced wires and/or the fact that the euro lights have more bulbs (i.e., separate turn signal and "running lights" bulbs), vs. the US all in one combination signal light?

Any FAQ's or instructions out there? Thanks in advance!

Gavin

PS: Just had a front suspension rebuild (bushings, ball joints, tie-rods), new u-joint in driveshaft, and 4 new Boge shocks installed - rides and drives like a new car!!
