Swapping headlight housings

I have done the following to my F25 2011. My right Xenon non-adaptive headligth glass broke and used the housing of an adaptive Xenon. I transfered the Driver module, Control unit and the two led modules from the non-adaptive. Everything works except the angel eyes and 800F89 error code appears. Is the wiring the problem? Is there any scematic that spots the differences between non-adaptive and adaptive xenon?

I think the main connector wiring is different between non-adaptive vs. the adaptive model. The shape of the housing is identical, but the wires for adaptive vs. non-adaptive are not the same, the adaptive model has more pins in use, and the harness pin assignments are different too.

I did similar thing but the other way -

On my 2013 X3 project car (bi-xenon with AFS headlights), the original headlights are destroyed, so I bought cheaper halogen non AFS headlights, connected, but the ECU even can't recognize it, always throw AFS headlight malfunction code, and the headlights won't light on.

Do you (or anyone else) have the wiring schematics of the right headlight? I want to clarify how I can downgrade the adaptive to non-adaptive.

I am trying to check if the problem comes from short ciruit counter. I am using tool 32 but when trying to reset I have "ERROR ECU REQUEST OUT OF RANGE".
Any suggestions?
