But I think most of the new Toyota hid setups found mostly in the Lexus models are auto leveling. They probably just used the same system that is in the new GS350 in the 86 and BRZ. Subaru has hids standard on the wrx limited and both Sti models. They could be using that kind of setup in the BRZ.

You got to admit the BRZ headlights are totally awesome..with the u shaped led halo accent.
Won't argue with that

Every Toyota/Lexus factory HID setup does. Even in the Yaris.

I thought I read somewhere that all new cars with HID need to have this from the factory. Maybe I am rembering incorrectly.

It depends on the country, but I think most countries do have that requirement. I don't know about the USA/Canada though on specific regulations. I thought they did require it now too, but after some searching on Google and reading through some of the DOT regulations, I couldn't confirm or deny.

in Germany (and most of Europe) HIDs need to be self leveling and there have to be a washing system.

if you look closely you can see the washing system

Haha, not on these shores unfortunately. There are not many Toyota-badged models over here that are equipped with HID's. More and more now, but still relatively rare. The Yaris has optional HID's in some Asian/European countries.

Yes, the parts exist. I just have my doubts that they will be on the car in North America. The chance of that with the car badged as a Scion right now is pretty much zero, in my opinion. Maybe in a few model years.

Oh they'll exist, but if it's like other models, you'd be looking at about $2000-3000 to get the parts required.
