Yes, I do understand where you're coming from. But, isn't the OP wanting to upgrade the whole headlight housing and not just adding HID bulbs to the original halogen housing?

Also, I remember reading that X Foomph has self leveling halogen headlights, and he is from Australia. It might just be a European thing where all headlights have self leveling installed.
