1. they are self leveling - they get the signal from the sensors in the front and rear left. That way they adjust if you have luggage / weight in front and / or back. Nothing to do with up or downhill. - This being the case, do you really think that this adjustment if you have weight bears a big difference in the light throw? I saw the lights in my friends factory set up before he gave them to me, and could not see a difference. They are still worse than the newer model xenons by far. In the meantime, I have mine aimed correctly, and they are decent, but not as good as the newer xenon set ups. That was my point...that they are not as good as the ones today even though they are still xenons. Wondering if newer bulbs that are not 15 years old will do any better.
2. the xenon unit doesn't move up and down if you use high beam and don't have the sensors connected. - I know this. It will only move up with high beams if I have them connected. I don't see a need for this though, as I think the halogen high beams are fine.
