YES what happend was it was going into my GS300 with OEM hallogens, but now i have a GS400 with OEM HID, so the auto lever feature will throw a light code if dont hook them up

you should be able to put the levelers into the halogen housing by cutting the back open where the motor is supposed to go.

sounds easier to do the retro over again. Sell the non-hid ones for a profit.

They are in the For Sale section now, but not really making a profit. selling it a little less at what it cost me to get all the parts minus the retro work.

the next one should come out cheaper since the car will already have the main HID components.

Haha. I was wondering the same thing and came to the conclusion that the slant will light up the other side of the road without blinding the other driver? o_0

I'm probably wrong, but it was worth a shot.
