can anybody tell be if the Bosch litronic assemblies will just plug into the existing headlight harnes if you have halogen lamps from the factory on a 2001 S. I know they won't level or adjust then but from what I have read, I would just plug a set in first if I can and not worry about the tilt upgrade module and harness unless the lighting spread is not acceptable.

litronics simple plug n play
My car came with the oem halogens, so i went on ebay and picked up a pair of OEM Litronics, read about how they were P&P, and sure enough, very easy. Remove the old, plug the Litrtonics in, you dont need anything else. It is true that the self leveling does not work but my lights work fine without the leveling and both hi/low are working fine. I don't think you have anything to worry about, nice simple upgrade but be prepared to spend about $1k for a pair used.
And yes, my car was green, now its Sport Classic dove gray, lovin it!
Best,
Mike

Good luck, if you find a pair online, go for it but make sure you verify from the seller that the bixenons have been tested and works.

Is there a difference in Bosch xenon where it may not be bi-xenon?

I don't think so.
I just checked eBay, and wow the prices are high due to low inventory, I guess I got lucky. But, for example, this is what you need to get, just find a left and right that are in good condition and includes ballast and bulbs.
