Canada controller for self leveling HID headlamps (retrofit)

hi all, just retrofitted some oem HID headlaps from a Avalon limited into my 06 XLS. After some modifications (change connectors, a relay,etc), the system works. I just have not been able to find info on connecting the 4 pin AMSO self leveling motors to either a manual controller , nor the parts needed to make the system self adjust with the suspension.

can someone provide me with info on either what parts I need or how-to make a controller that works on the 4 pin motors ao that I can manually adjust them myself on a switch. thanks

According to the Avalon service manuals, the headling leveling system consists of 2 DC stepping motors driven by a controller module mounted behind the instrument panel. There is also a height sensor assembly muonted to the rear suspension, and serial data bus links to the vehicle speed sensor. SInce you do not have the control module or height sensor, your practical options are probably limited to constructing a motor driver circuit to run the motors manually, or finding some way to spin the shafts mechanically.

In case you want to try the former approach, here are the wire colors:

Left side
Motor winding 1
+ Blue with black stripe
- Orange
Motor winding 2
+ Gray
- Red

Right side
Motor winding 1
+ Black
- Brown
Motor winding 2
+ Light Green
- White
