Headlight levelling motors

Post by **Gayno** » Tue Jan 01, 2013 8:40 pm

I know these are stupid rare for our cars, but it is something I really do want to fit given I've got HIDs, as at the moment if I load the boot up, I've got no way of lowering the beam angle without getting out my screwdriver!

I'm not even sure if the loom and required plugs are in my car, but if anyone does come across the complete kit for sale from a breaking car, please please please let me know.

Many beer tokens will be paid

Much love!

Adam

Stiffer rear springs.

Over the christmas period i must have has 150kg of stuff in the boot and wasnt a problem for my HIDs. Cutoff was a tad higher but still spot on.

But try and look out for a UKDM 5th Gen with the manual adjustment motors.

I've got BC Coilovers, so could just wind them onto the hardest setting, but then the ride becomes uncomfortable!

Maybe there is a way I can butcher 5th gen motors onto mine, even if I somehow install them as a standalone circuit!

Harder setting wont help. That will stabilise the dampener but the dampener will still compress with weight but at a slower rate the harder it gets.
Stiffer rear springs will help.

I went with 7kg rear springs and i have my BC on medium. Very comfortable IMO and rear stays put with weight.

I have some spare 5G lights if you want to try do something with them
