340i converting to non bmw led headlights

I have a 2016 340i that has the bmw led head lights that are converted from factory. I bought Akon led+ headlights and I'm wondering if any has done a conversion for aftermarket led headlights onto these cars. I know the connectors aren't the same would really like to make these work.

If they're not designed for F30's they're not going to work without some hardcore retrofitting.

I found these below aside from the usual Depo's, not sure about quality though.

So I actually bought those headlights but it says it's for halogen f30's but on the company's actual website says it fits all f30 years. My car was originally xenon but got the factory led conversion but I've realize they just f'ing suck and don't illuminate anything. But someone told me the connectors aren't the same for the halogen and xenon headlights so I'm wondering if someone has ever made it work or if anyone knows where I can buy an adapter?

So basically I need to convert my xenon 340i to halogen so that I can run these headlights lol I realize what I said. Yes I tried new bulbs the bulbs are the issue they just don't project well enough in my opinion.
