It has the same headlights installed

I'm also interesting in buying this kind of headlight but until now I did not understand if they will fit with my OEM XENON light & ballast. Some ebay seller in germany confirm to me that is not possible, some told me thet it is possible with H7/xenon adapters .

Not possible:

Yeah it won't work with your stock xenon system. You have to get a new HID kit to go with it..

Also people with OEM xenons should remember that the OEM system have self levelling adjustment. So when moving to an aftermarket system this feature will also be lost. [unless you go to the effort moving the levelling from the OEM headlight to the aftermarket one]

In my opinion, there is NO WAY, I would change out the OEM Xenon head lights for the cheaper versions no matter how good they good.

The only was I would even consider this is, if there was an aftermarket set of Xenon head lights with OEM quality and all the OEM features so it was just a simple plug and play application.

So, lemme guess. People who want to change OEM xenons are the ones that can't open their headlights and want to add angel eyes?

nedo93, the link for "possible w/adapters" is talking about aftermarket HID too - at least that's what I understood from the listing.

Where is this self levelling adjustment ?

Its built into the headlights.

ok :) i know that ...but where? cause you said to move it from oem headlights to this after market .

I'm not 100% sure where? But I didnt say "too" move it.

I said, "unless you go to the effort"! Which I personally wouldnt.

There maybe someone here that has done this and could point you in the right direction.

But again and in my opinion, I would find it difficult and hard to justify exchanging the OEM Xenon headlights which cost$$$$$ for a cheaper alternative unless that alternative had the exact same spec and qualities as the OEM lights with plug and play fitting.
