Another question on Xenons

Does anybody know if the Xenon Bulbs are self-leveling. And what the hell does that mean.Every car site that I have gone to has self-leveling lights, except Acura. If the car does not havethat, can I have it installed?

No we don't have them.

All it means is that when you turn on the car the lights "LEVEL" themselves so their not aimed too high (or too low) to blind oncoming drivers.

Not "every" car with xenons has auto leveling... in fact many don't.

BMW has always had this and Lexus is new to join the pack. Several others have it as well but its nothing to care about not having.

Just one rarely needed convenience feature that would bloat the price tag.

In Europe its required that all xenons to be self cleaning and self leveling. When you go up hills and stuff headlights like ours (no leveling) can appear really bright to other drivers.
