US Audi models that come equipped with Xenons also have the auto-leveling
stuff.  Without correct lens and reflectors and auto level adjustment,
a home-brew xenon setup would most likely yield something that is
dangerously blinding to oncoming traffic, so it's not a good idea to
make home-brew xenon lights unless all the appropriate features are
incorporated.
