I know this is going to cost a pretty penny...but i'd like to look into it anyway.
Does anyone know where I could get Euro LCI Headlights (Preferably non-ahl without auto-leveling [if that even exists]).
This is to retrofit Halogen LCI to Xenon LCI.
Thanks!

I haven't searched much for U.S. sites but here is a popular site in Europe where you can find some LCI non-AHL headlights:

Im not sure I understand the allure of Euro LCI headlamps... I mean I get that they look nice, but DAYUM they are not cheap. I could spend that much money on a ton of mods and get more bang for my buck...

You know..I'm thinking about this mod the same way I think about a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes that I bought...
My friends thought I was crazy (and still do) to spend 700 dollars on a pair of shoes. However...I REALLY like them, I think they are literally the best looking shoes I've ever seen and girls seem to think so too...and the best part is...I only know one other person in California who owns them and he's a millionaire who barely wears them.
This mod is like an accessory, just a touch of "ultra-classy"... something that I'm going to have a deep appreciation for once completed (especially with HID AE) and its unique.
That being said, I'm gonna have to save up for a few months to do this just like with the shoes lol.

Either I did the conversion wrong or these guys sell to US Buyers at a lower price....seems the cost is $1458 including freight from that euro site....... Not bad....
I'll definitely be doing a little research ^^
