I stumbled across these Headlights and they look to be exactly what I'm looking for at a perfect price point. Only issue is "Reamark: For vehicles with headlight levelling (electric). With servo motor for LDR. "

To my knowledge my headlamps on my pre-lci have manual adjusters only. I do not have an adjust wheel on my headlamp selector. I know the lights will obviously will fit in the whole and light up. My question is, how will I align and level the lights? Will I throw codes / need coding? Can I just never use the extra bits of electronics and finally not have to look at those ugly amber corners on my silver car?
First of all, the below experiences are mine and may be different for you and your specific vehicle.

I bought a pair of LCI halogens a couple months ago, and mine were shipped from England. According to the fellow I bought them from, the Euro halogens have the electronic leveling that you mentioned (which is controlled by a button/scroll button near the headlight switch in the Euro cars). When I bought mine I noticed the motor in the back of the housing, which is why I found out about this. My car does not have the electronic feature like the Euros do, and everything was still plug and play (no errors). I plugged them in and everything worked and I have never had a problem with the lights. You should have any issues with it.

Hope that helps!
