Default '08 RX350 OEM HID retrofit questions

Hi there, I just bought a 2008 RX350 base no hid and I am looking into replacing the headlights with OEM HID headlights. I know I won't have the dynamic adjust, since I would have to have some sensors installed, but just fixed beam is fine for me.

I wanted to ask if anyone else did it here on this forum and if there are any other limitations, as far as swapping halogen with xenon headlights...wiring problems, fitting?

Thanks, any input is appreciated!

I did it on my 04 RX330. Bought OEM HID headlights from a member here & installed it, it was direct plug & play. Just have to drop the bumper to install.

Did you find wiring for auto leveling and/or cornering too?
The lights I found are with AFS and I am also afraid the projector will turn itself left and right from regular driving bumps.

I'm so sorry, I thought I have responded to your question few days ago but somehow it didn't post up. I bought a non-AFS unit so I can't really answer your question but from my understanding is that it's almost impossible to hook up all the wires associate with AFS for it to work. Hope this help answering your question.
