1: That's the ballast.
2: That's the power wire that connects to the ballast.
3: Autoleveling motor.
4: Looks like a breather tube.
5: d2r/d2s bulb plug. Comes from the ballast and connects to the bulb.
6: The autoleveling motor does all the moving. All other parts pivot. From the looks of the housing, it looks like both high beams and low beams move together.

) and make sure that nothing's loose. 
you would get a warning message on the dash if anything was wrong with your auto leveling.
If you wanan double check, turn your lights on and start the car. Should swing down, then back up.
Yes, on the LS, both low's and high's adjust.

Sorry I know this is a little off topic but would you be able to take all that part out from the HID headlight and put it into a regular headlight. My headlight is in bad shape right now and I try to get a new pair to repalce it but the price for a brand new set is too much. Can I just take all that parts out and swap it over to an Non HID one?

Basically you sand it down, and polish it.

iirc Depo makes a replacement headlight for NON-HID 98-00 cars.
