Title: Auto levelling headlights
Post by DJWerkz on Jul 9^th, 2005, 11:11pm

While putting my interior back together after replacing the heater matrix I noticed a spare blue block connector exiting the same location as the connector for the headlight rotary switch.
On further investigation I find that this second connector is for the option of auto levelling headlights.
On my car I only have the main rotary switch for the headlight function but in the manual there is a picture of a fascia with both the headlight rotary switch and a second rotary switch for adjusting the level of the headlights.
If I wanted to change my car so I have this function do I only need the correct fascia section with second rotary switch or will I need to check into headlight moutings as well? If I have the cabling at the dash section is it reasonable to assume that I have all the necessary cabling to the headlights?
Any help appreciated ;)

The cabling may well be there, but the headlamps are different. So you might have to buy the more expensive headlamp units, and they are dear too! :o

Will try to find pictures of the different lights for you.

hi there

the headlights come with a motor built in to them. cost about £150+VAT each!

is your car not an estate? i've got them on my estate, but because of the self leveling suspension, they are absolutely useless!
