Default auto level headlight

someone is selling the auto level headlight, but my car didnt come wiht HIDs so no auto leveling for me.

I want to purchase this, but anyone have schmatics on how to hook up the adaptive auto level headlights wiring to make it work?

i don't think it's an easy DIY seeing that i know there's the front headlights that need to be replaced and there's a rear sensor in the suspension which probably isn't installed on non-hid vehicles. i can't be sure but if that's true, there's more to it than just installing the lights. PLUS you'll need some programming with the on board computer to make it work.

the auto-leveling feature isn't all that helpful anyway except for on-coming traffic. you should just get a set of aftermarket hid's if anything

Yeah that's true.. I actually spoke to the stealership about adding HID's to my car and they expect me to pay 5 to 7 thousand dollars for HID's.. Thats retarted.. Yes aftermarket is the way to go.
