Default Xenon Headlight Upgrade Help

I found out that the previous owner of my S4 had swapped out the Xenon headlights with halogen headlights after they crashed the front end. WELL I really want the xenon headlights back in.

So, can I get some used factory xenon headlights and plug them in or what good upgrade xenon kits are out there to install? My understanding is that the factory xenon headlights have a leveling system motor installed so I'd think aftermarket kits are not going to have this thus not working as well. I saw on a buddy A6 that he had a leveling system (??weight sensor??) for his xenon headlights on the drivers side suspension But I don't see this control box on mine. AM I supposed to have this if so where should it be located and any ideas what the plug in looks like? Because I have found and extra 2 wire plug in under the car.

Thanks

Default I belive if you replace the whole housing then you can get the factory items

however, I hae some Philips ones and they work just fine, just have to adjust them manually. 4rings will vouch that the driver side needs adjustment.

I think the OEM version is quite expensive though, but as you stated, the adjustment is worth it. After market versions can save you some money and you can get something that is a bit brighter.
