Does the RS HID lights come with a self leveling mechanism or not. I need to now because my new Camaro must have the self leveling system when it is inspected in Sweden. Thanks all RS owners for answering my question.

Sweden has some of the best, safest road and vehicle laws in the world. Self leveling for HIDs is required to keep other drivers safe so that they do not blinded by misaligned lights.

It makes no sense to me because they can just test the fixed leveling. It's not some POS euro car with cheap fasteners on the lamps. They lamps won't change alignment without tampering.

like he said over there they have a lot stricter laws over there and i wish we would adopt most of them. then people here will realize driving is a privileged not a right like the way they look at it

GM HID's don't just change direction and blind people. If you crash that's on you to fix the level. There is no need for that device in my opinion. It just adds to the cost of the vehicle and introduces a mechanism that could actually cause the light angle tilt up if it malfunctioned.

Thanks for the answers! All European cars equipped with HID's must have a self leveling system because the bright light can be really hard on your eyes if a car coming towards you with four adults and the trunk fully loaded. . I have a 2SS 6 speed IOM on order but have waited a long time for it now, and I am beginning to look for an already produced car to buy. Because the RS HID's are not self leveling that option is not a choice for me. The inspection in Sweden requires self leveling HID's and power washing of the lamps. So the hunt for a 2SS without RS option goes on or I have to wait for my car to be produced.
