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.

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