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

eBay lights will work but they will not auto level. Also they will not be as well made as the OEM ones.

Question why do you want to replace yours? Foggy lens, not HID ?

Hid’s are so much better than halogen lights. If you are interested I will be offering up my OEM Black (joey modded) HID projector lights in a couple of weeks.

See picture below in signature.

You can wet sand them down with 1,000 to 1,200 grit paper and then buff / polish them out and make them look brand new again.

If you don’t drive your car daily and you can remove your head lights and send them to me I could do the work for you.
