    Bilstein B12 with Xenon Lights

    Hi, Thinking about getting another 2.4 7th Gen. I would like to upgrade the shocks and springs if I get one. The B12 kit was lovely on my Mazda. On the Bilstein website it says they cant be used with Xenon lights due to the self levelling. Does this apply to all 7th Gen with Xenons ? Thanks
