08 Type S headlight swap on ‘05 base - wiring questions.

I’ve just swapped out my headlights on my ‘05 base for ‘08 TL-S headlights. The low beams are the same and working. I have pigtails for the signal bulbs coming but not sure what wire colors to match up. Also, apparently the fogs on the ‘05 don’t fit the DRL as they are different bulbs and they also function as the high beams. Not sure if there is a conversion kit or how to rewire the fogs. I don’t care about DRLs but I’d like to have high beams at least. Anyone have some wisdom to share here? I am aware they will get too hot at full power without proper wiring.

Attached before and after pics. Much better looking!!
