I believe that auto leveling HID are required by law in some markets, mainly Europe and Australia.
Just like the headlight washers, fog lights, and Day time running lights found on some European market s2000s. So yes auto leveling HID on s2000's do exist! Just not in the US.

does anyone else find that our lights are aimed too low? it's like i can't see much of what's in front of me, although what is lit is very visible. the low aimed lights combined with the fact that they're xenons (making everything outside the beam less clear because it's so bright) makes visibility at night kind of limited. oh yea and because it sits low, everyone else's lights blind me temporarily. and other xenons blind me for like 5 minutes.

then he aim my headlight in about 1.5 inches front the driver side and 1.0 at the passenger side...
and now my light looks awesome.. so damn bright and shoot far away and it also makes the lights left and right so equal....

it's too much weight, too expensive, too complicated, etc. not worth it for this car, and that's probably the reason why it's not there.
besides, those self-leveling hid's suck, they don't ever self level in time.
