Thats good news...

Can you tell if Angel eyes match OEM xenons or are they close to 6000K output?

To move auto-leveling to the eBay ones - do you need to "open" original lights? I know you cannot open 2003 headlights...

The AE's are a bit more purplish than OEM xenon which are bluish. I'm no xenon expert so I don't know the color of 6000k xenon, sorry.

Auto-leveling motor is outside of the housing, no need to open them. 3 screws hold the motor to the outside of the housing.
