The factory Kit is alot better then after market kits, first you get the amber free headlights, second you get the projectors, where you can intensify the beam pattern of the Xenon bulb. Aftermarket kits are economical, but the intallation would be quite hard, you may have to drill a hole on the backing of the headlight to feed the big chunk of harness to the bulb(I had done this on my A4).

I purchase a set from Suncoast Porsche down in Florida, expansive but well worth it, it took me less then 5 mins to plug in. Day vs Night difference! Just pop out and pop in. I didn't install the wiring harness cause I hardly use hi-beam.

One thing I didn't like about the lights is, I spend alot of hours adjusting the beam height and the angle. I am still not 100% happy with the beam after hours of adjustments.

And no the kit does not come with self leveling.
