hey guys,

i found a set of bare Euro Xenon Housings real cheap but they have AHL and the dynamics...My car has halogens...how much of a pain in the ass is it going to be to adjust the headlights since I dont have any of these options?? I know I can do the install but without a new LCM I wont have the AHL or dynamics...which do not matter to me...i just want OEM xenon...

Any tips??

AHL might be tough to retrofit on your stock halogens. I did the retrofit but just used bi-xenon OEM headlights. Those werent actually that much of a pain in the ass. Not sure what "dynamics" mean but if I were you I would stay away from AHL. I wouldnt go the HID Kit direction because honestly that will make a 50K car look like a honda civic...just my 2 cents.

yeah thats why I wanted to retrofit the OEM xenons...but the AHL seems to be that we who never had that option cannot adjust the headlights to the proper level. I guess I will keep looking...
