Want to replace Xenon Self Levelling Lights

I want to replace my Xenon Self Leveling headlights. I see several on Ebay , this forum and other places and some even 'look' like the self levelling.
Can I install them without any problems? I once plugged in a set of halogens and they worked just find. I am wondering if the BCM will go bad if I run anything other than the Xenons.

What is the best affordable replacement that I can use.
Jon

What is wrong with your HID’s (Xenons) ? They are much better than old school Halogens.

The different lights will not cause any issues with your BCM but you will not get the light output from Halogens that you get out of HID’s.

This would be like going to black and white TV from Color TV.
