Hey Tony. Is your video diy retrofit going to include your custom brackets, or w/out?

Hey there! I hope this would not be treated as OT, but once you do a retrofit on the lights that come with the auto leveling from factory does it work afterward? Or the factory auto-leveling unit has to be modded and so on?

p.s. I live in Europe and here we can't have xenon lights without auto-leveling and headlight washers. My GS is equipped with all that from the factory but I really want to do a retrofit.

BTW, does the LuxuryMods ship to Europe (brackets and maybe lenses as well)?
(p.s.2. would appreciate an estimate for Estonia, country code is 372, please PM me)
Thank you very much in advance

PM luxurymods... for autoleveling, the projector is attached to existing bowl.... so the projector is going along for the ride (leveling aspect).

Luxurymods have their own bowl that has custom brackets that'll make the projector attachment seamless. It'll replace the oem bowl but it'll be attached to the existing motor so it keeps autoleveling. I believe you won't get the meter... the green leveling liquid thingy.


best to PM him.
