Unless you get HIDs from the factory, you will lose out on auto leveling, even if you buy the OEM factory HIDs. I'm not sure of everything involved but it is not plug and play to get the auto leveling feature.

Jimmy,

Nice. Are you going to build a cover/shroud around the sides of the lights?

looks awesome.

i got a confession, i was debating between buying a gs300/400 or a q45 and i was already leaning towards the lex but just the capability of doing this just basically seals the deal for me.

are you gonna do a write up?

and if i plan on doing this, do i have to get a gs with hid's already?
