Can motorized height control for headlights(controlled from the interior of car, by switch on the dash) be retrofitted into E21 if the headlights are from e30 and compatible with such system?

I am replacing the double headlights by the "hella smoked type" from Depo. (hope my car's new look won't disappoint people) I read that these ones are highness ready, but the motors are not included. Can anyone direct me whether and how could this be done?

E30 is fluid driven, from E36 adjustment has become electrical but no parts in there that could be useful.

I'm not sure if it works on an E21 aswell; but on an E30 it's possible to convert the fluid system to an electrical system, using parts from a Ford Fiesta.

The website is in German (with photo's ), but maybe Google-translate will do the trick:
