Default OEM hid swap

Hi, I just have a question. My 03 GS300 does not have the factory HID. If I get the OEM HID housings, how do I get it to have the auto leveling feature? I was told by the guy at the dealer that if I buy the housing then I can find someone to just wire it up to my existing unit and just switch out the lens. I was wondering don't I need the motor or whatever extra to get it to work? Thanks in advance for any input.

You will need all the computers, the leveling motors, wiring harness, etc. It's big money like at least $1500-$2000. I looked into this once and it's near impossible. I had a 98 and finally bought an 01' with levinson/hid package. Then I realized there are some pretty cool headlamps out there for non hid but not for hid. If you look on EBAY and such, there are some pretty cool lenses out there. Plug in some silverstars and you got the look. I put silverstars in my wife's 01 ES300 and they are pure white very nice.
