Why don't you just manually adjust them with the wheels on the headlights?

Can't help on the wiring, but a car that came with xenons from factory doesn't have the height adjuster wheel next to the light switch because it would've also had the levelling sensors fitted. I don't think it's possible to get the dial working because no car would've ever had xenons and a manual height adjuster from factory because it's something the levelling sensors should automatically handle.
