Default Factory HID's

Have a question for you guys. I have a 99 GS3 with factory HID's. Can I remove my Factory HID and attach it to this retro? https://www.clublexus.com/forums/2ge...g-goodies.html Page 2 has a pic of the back of the headlights. Looks like it has an HID conversion kit on here that I can see. Whatcha think?

yes, but you're going to loose autoleveling and you'll need to modify the powering harness.

If you go to luxury mods, i believe they can do it with auto leveler. Call and ask. They do good work.

Yea I heard from everyone they do great work. But the thing is if I get the Headlight retros in the link above and remove my everything on my factory HID headlights and put it on the new headlights will everything work such as the auto leveler
