Consider shopping OEM on eBay too. Stock has bi-xenon and auto leveling.

msb2tg996 is infamous around these parts

if u use oem the self levelling will not be active, i did that change on my99 a while back and it was simple, you will need a retro fit kit to get all the wiring together.

i thought/heard/read that self leveling won't work on the oem retrofit kits. some suspension hardware has to be installed at the factory for the self leveling to work. however, if you do install the wiring from the oem retrofit kit then the high beam HID will work.
