Headlight Swap

I have a 2003 3.0 with standard xenons (orange indicators) and I have the chance of a pair of 2008 clear xenons.
Are they a STRAIGHT swap or is there any wiring adjustments needed?
 
no they are not a straight swap, the pre-facelift (2003 orange) ones use a xenon on the out side and a normal bulb for full beam on the inner, the facelift (2008) use the xenon for both and inner is a dummy with angel eye only. I have managed to do it but needed an intravee to allow me to have flash to pass option, there is in SSS v32 retrofit section option for headlight upgrade but not sure if anyone has got it to work. Most cut headlights apart to replace the orange bit with a clear one.
 
Carly has the option to code the xenon bulb as flash to pass, so I assume that is adequate?

Beyond that I cant see how the wiring would be different?
