Both versions use a H8 bulb for the corona rings, again AFAIK. I'm guessing that the non-adaptive lights use either a H7 bulb for the high beam, or possible a H1 (which seems to commonly be used in small projector assemblies.

No, I haven't done the conversion, but I have done a ton of research about the conversion because I will likely tackle this sometime in the future. I have never actually seen the non-adaptive lights in-person, so most of what I'm saying has been learned through research rather than first-person experiences.
are you sure non-adaptive euro headlight uses H7 bulb?
I thought all euro xenon OEM 1 series headlight uses d1s bulb.
