This is covered in your owners manual--see bulbs, changing.

The extra connector is only on cars with Litronic headlights.

These are self-leveling, which is required by Euro regulations for all HID headlights.

FWIW, same Euro regs also require headlight washers for HID headlights.

In the 986/996 application, the aim of the low beam projector is additionally changed when switching between hi and lo beams.
