OEM Valeo Lights Low Beam Xenon conversion halogen

Hello guys, after reading the whole Internet I wasn’t able to fix my problem.
I bought a Valeo Bmw Original xenon lights with angel eyes.
Angel eyes work, high beam work, turn signal work but low beam doesn’t work(D1S lamp)
Any ideas?

That bulb should be for the halos. Unplug it and see what happens

I'm not a lighting guy, but pretty sure halo xenon's aren't a plug & play replacement for the halogens. Something about the wiring needing to be changed, or maybe just the plug repinned, not sure...

I'd encourage searching a moment for how to do a halogen to xenon upgrade and see what ya find.

Correct he needs to move the ground pin and add it to another pin. I completely missed the part about him converting his headlights.
