OEM Xenon fit question...

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it seems like its saying that a pre 09/03 built cooper needs additional hardware and programming to get FACTORY OEM Xenons to be retrofitted.

Is this correct? Im buying some '04 OEM Xenons to retrofit my 10/02 built '03 Cooper. Has anyone done a retrofit with somthing built earlier than 9/03?

Thanks!!

PS: I know I should post in the electrical section, but I did the other day w/ no response...Better traffic here!!

PPS: I've read all the posts on Xenon retrofit, and there's no talk of this issue, so It seems its just plug and play. I wanted to know if its been done on an earlier cooper specifically.
