Unless you get HIDs from the factory, you will lose out on auto leveling, even if you buy the OEM factory HIDs. I'm not sure of everything involved but it is not plug and play to get the auto leveling feature.

Jimmy,

Nice. Are you going to build a cover/shroud around the sides of the lights?

Glad they cleared man, its also cool that you have 20" chrome Mesh summer wheels, and 17" chrome Mesh winter wheels

Well, now no one will have to ask "where are the chrome winter wheels?" when I post any pics with those damn ugly 16s!!!

I gotta give it to ya Jimmy, you are really putting a serious machine together!!

looks awesome.

i got a confession, i was debating between buying a gs300/400 or a q45 and i was already leaning towards the lex but just the capability of doing this just basically seals the deal for me.

are you gonna do a write up?

and if i plan on doing this, do i have to get a gs with hid's already?
