I have a 2000 RX. I just converted my headlights to OEM HIDs. As stated in earlier post, it is true that the auto leveling motor can not be installed.
This is what I bought:
•I purchased a 2001 lighting housing from the dealer. $490 each side.
•I purchased the ballast computer, auto leveling motor, computer assembly cover, cover gasket, auto leveling motor o-ring and ballast wiring harness, from eBay for $229.
•I purchased Phillips D2R 4300K bulbs from eBay, $32 each.
All the work was done by Lexus of Greenwich body shop. The HID do not simply plug in. Adapters had to be purchased for the wiring harness.

LeoLexus -
thanks for the input. Would you mind sharing how much the dealer charged for the work? I hate to be rude and ask such a question but I'm not exactly mechanically inclined and would want the dealer to do the work and I'd like to get a better idea of what my "all in" will run.
Thanks.

Honestly, I don't know. My car had its headlights stolen. The thief thought I had HID headlights. Since I had to replace my headlights, I took this opportunity to install HID. Replacing the parts and fixing the body damage, the bill was over $4000.
The work is fairly simple. You just need to order the right parts.
