There are 2 types of xenon lights fitted to the xc90. The ferry Oder ones (which I have) are bi xenon reflector type ones where as the later ones are bending bi xenon projector type.
The bi xenon bit means that they also do high beam. The older type us a motor to tilt the light up where as the projector ones lower the shutter that creates the cut off. I don’t think you can fit the bending ones to a car with out them as standard and get them to have the bending function. I don’t know if they would work otherwise
