I spliced into my original wires and soldered them. They should fit just fine on the 1299. Just make sure you have the intake piece that sits below the headlight. I think that's what it is. I'm not home so i can't verify but it's not just the headlight.

The 1299 headlight has a mount for the IMU. The 1199 headlight does not. You would have to find a way to mount the IMU in the same position as stock (not easy to do). If the IMU isn't mounted at the right angle, it's not going to function properly.
FYI, that wiring diagram is the same. That's what I used for my conversion.

get the factory plug from Corsa Technic, LLC Motorsport Interconnect Products, Motorcycle Connectors, Sensors and cut/terminate into the factory loom. makes for a very neat install (and easier)
Sumitomo HM Sealed Motorsport Motorcycle Connectors - Corsa Technic
Sumitomo HM Sealed Series 6-PIN.
Cut the factory loom back, terminate plug. The ground/0V cable is spliced into a number of smaller wires for the relays. Depending on you electrical skills you can either cut right back at the splice point and termniate plug there, solder and extent the wire, or just use 3-4 of the smaller wires and crimp into the one ground pin.
As for the sensor bracket, you would have to either source a complete 1299S LED light, or buy the bracket and screws from ducati and drill the mounting holes into the 1199S light.
The Parts manual for both can show you this.
Do the 959/1299 now have tip over sensors? Is that what you're referring to as the IMU? I have a 959 owner interested in my 1199S headlight, I'm trying to figure out if it will work ok for him before selling it. Thanks!
Ah, I didn't see this post before I posted. Thank you, I thought just the outer part of the fairing was different.
