Hid igniter compatability 02 and 05

Anyone know if the hid igniter on an 05 TL will work for an 02? I just bought one that looks like the link on the bottom, but the one I took off looks like the top link. Im thinking that the extra ground wire has something to do with the 3rd gen being bixenon (hi and lo beam). Since mine doesnt have that, maybe I can just not hook up the extra wire and it will work anyhow?

I have an igniter for an 03 TL if you are interested. Look in the private sales.

The problem is that I already bought the 3rd gen because it was super cheap. The only diff between the d2r and d2s is that part of the bulb on the d2s is covered up to emit the light evenly, whereas the d2r doesn't have/need that. I could use a d2s bulb in my car, but the light would not spread out like its supposed to because of the shield on those bulbs. The guy on ebay told me that it would work, but I would have to hook the extra ground up to something.
