I'll seriously consider buying the motors, but saw on realoem.com that they are around 77$/piece, which makes it ridiculously expensive for manual adjustment. Might go a different route - time will tell!

The leveling is indeed p'np for the depos. They are not included. From the 1erforum.de I have a pictorial of the depo install. See more here: http://www.oslotwins.de/umbau/ I only use realoem for the part number and quoted their price due to this being a US forum. I am situated in Denmark (Europe) and our VAT is highest in the world, so they come in at around 85-90$ at Schmiedmann Denmark. So I'm a little biased around this. Could end up being annoyed by this and source the original xenon for the car. Expensive, but it works! But for now, I'll let my 3000$ appointment with Scmiedmann be the most important!

I too find the light weaker, but this mod is for aesthetics. I you want better lighting install HID's in the low beam. This option yields better lighting! I'll try finding the thread on the German forums for you later....

One thing I don't understand is why, even now in 2011, factory HID systems aren't also equipped with auto-leveling by default. So many SUVs and cars with factory HIDs are driving around blinding people because of the lack of this requirement IMO. Of course, if properly aimed, that shouldn't often be a problem, but I digress…

So anyway, we have a bunch of regulations that aren't strictly enforced which results in "lifted" F-150s with HID headlights and foglights that are of such a Kelvin rating that they're actually blue and, perhaps known or otherwise to the driver, are actually putting out less lumens than the halogen lights they replaced. This is just one particularly bad example, obviously. Of course, it is this lose enforcement of the regulations that allows us to put HID kits into these Depo lights, for example, and "get away with it!" I'm normally not a supporter of a HID retrofit into a housing designed for halogen bulbs, but even this critic will agree that most projector-based headlights more than adequately control glare and other problems associated with a HID retrofit. Wow, must...step...down...from...soapbox! |

AW, that was quiete a post
Just to sum up; correct, EU regulations do indeed require pressure washers and auto leveling of headlight beam when xenon/HID's are installed. Whether it's OEM or retro fit, this is a requirement.
