Factory Xenons, factory designed to fit the vehicle on the other hand, once you have them, you will NEVER go back, they are absolutely amazing. You basically never have to use high beams ever again. I believe like ABS and Airbags, eventually Xenon lights will be a government requirement they are that damn good. If there is ever a check box or a package to get them in when you are buying a new car, check it, they are worth every penny.
Automatic levellers aren't the problem, it's the people that don't even bother to even level or focus the beam. If anyone is getting blue ones they're obviously a ricer regardless, and completely missing the point and don't understand what light is the brightest.

I love me a proper retrofit.... unfortunately that represents about 5% of HIDs on the road. 100% agreed on everything else you said though.
