Default Non-HID to OEM HID Conversion, need some help

Hey guys, i just picked up my newly aquired 99 GS300. Eventually the car has no HID
i want to do the HID setup right, i don't want to put in a 9006 HID kit into it. I'm new to the scene so i saw some OEM HID headlights w/ autoleveling unit. What yeaer does that come in? Do i really have ot have the unit hooked up to get it to perform right? or can i just leave it?

Or what would be the best way to get it done?

You can put the OEM headlight in but forget about the auto-level. It is too much wiring to retrofit the sensors around the car. The OEM HIDs is not plug and play. Still it is only a few wires to solder.

You can get OEM HIDs from any 98+ GS model year. There are differences in housing reflector color but they are basically the same as far as fitment is concerned.

I'm not too worried about the wiring... so having the autoleveler won't really matter too much right? I just want to confirm that...

no problem. i have the oem headlights on my gs4 with no hid, and the auto leveling is just not working that's all. not dash lihgt no nothing, very easy

and in fact, i didn't have to splice ANY wire to get the stuff installed too. i dn't know what my installer did but i know he somehow jammed the stock 9006 plug inside the hid headlights

perfect
