Default Projector Retrofit Autolevel Function

Hi everyone, I did some searching and I couldn't find my answer. I have a 00 Ls400 with OEM HID and autolevel headlights. I want to do a retrofit with Ls430 projectors because I made the stupid mistake of buying aftermarket housings and the beam pattern sucks now. Anyways, I was wondering if done correctly can I still keep the autolevel function with these projectors retro'd?

I could probably find it for you in a few minutes but I would rather you do a little more searching. It's been done and not that long ago and there is a thread on this forum with lots of photos.

it's challenging, if you havent done it before expect it to take you a fair bit longer than a standard retro. Not many retrofitters bother keeping the OEM autolevel unfortunately.

that being said, it's doable, and has been done. search pls.

Yea the installer I got said he can do it. I'm getting it done by Lightmodz in Paterson, NJ if anyone wants to know. I know a friend who went there and they do a really good job. I just got my projectors today but, I probably won't have these retro'd till like late july early august. I'll keep you guys posted!
