MR HID headlights swapped into RS

Hey guys, i recently swapped factory MR HID lights into my 05 RS. I have a couple questions.

1. Is it easy to get stock wiring and switches and just plug it in to control the fog lights and the headlight level adjustment?

2. Are the high beams controlled by the electric adjuster, as my low beam projectors are aimed perfect, but my driver side high beam is aimed at the ground and the passenger side is shinning way to high?

3. Any idea on costs of buying factory harnesses to do finish the conversion?
Im sure someone has done it on here.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the brights aren't affected by the leveler motors. There are manual adjustments on the housings. More than likely you will have to take the housings off and remove a cable that connects the two. The idea of the cable is so you can adjust both at the same time, but the cable is trash and probably won't work. When you take it off you will have independent manual adjustment. There's a thread around here somewhere showing how to do it. You should see what I'm talking about when you take them out.

I don't know anything about the harnesses, etc. You might try mitsubishiparts.net

I swapped my GSR housings for HID's and used the factory harness and the HID's, lowbeams, and highbeams all work like factory. I do not have the ability to level the headlights though. I also wired the fogs with a relay. All of that was not too hard.

The leveling part would be the only tricky part. Let me know if you figure it out.

For the high beams there should be a little knob you can use to adjust the Y-axis of the beam.
