A70 Factory adjust headlight buckets

[spinningheadboy]

I'd thought I'd share my silly euro rare part.

Factory European Market A70 remote headlight angle adjusters, 3 position switch with electric servo controled headlight buckets. Switch goes by the fog light switch in place of the coin holder/fake switch.

Bolt right in...now If I could find the wiring diagram

Thats cool

That's pretty nifty. These cars still amaze me with the amount of technology for it's time era.

ahh I always thought it was an american supra thing. Mine doesnt have this fitted. The system irritates me a bit on my mondeo though

 

[Finnon]

oh. the selector goes by the foglight switch? where is the switch to turn cruise control on then? i have 5 switches on my dash. the front fogs, cruise, rear fog, rear window demist and hazard warning lights

That is sweet. Easy sleeper look, I guess?

It doesn't lift the headlights (or pull them down) it changes the angle of the headlights in the bucket, if I'm thinking of this correctly?

You are corrrect.

That's probably like 88+ or whenever the new type steering wheel was introduced. Still... I have no such thing as adjuster

 

[JonoTurbo]

Neat. I guess the supra really did come with power everything.

They have them to avoid blinding people when you have odd loads or something. Just about all european cars have these dealio

 

[blackturbona]

or when ppl have HIDs and blind everyone cause theyre adjusted too high? i dont have hids, but thatd be cool to have

 

[ValgeKotkas]

^^^Esp. if you have / want to have Xenons, then it's a must. + washer squirters.

 

[Finnon]

its for when you have a car with 4 people in it isnt it? plus usefull for towing aswell

 

[mkIIIman089]

So it's designed to angle them down more from the factory then? Of course you could simply adjust your baseline angle higher but... that wasn't the point.

 

[spinningheadboy]

Its a MKIII truck mod!!

"When you tow a trailer with your supra on European roads, make sure to compensate for heavy loads while night driving with this 3 position light adjuster". Just Kidding!

I'm going to look through my german supra brochure and see what it says, if anything.

It's not for simply adjusting them, you can already do that. It's for adjusting them on the fly, while driving (or before a trip).

I don't think Toyota was thinking about people with improperly adjusted HIDs in the 80s.

mini's do it automaticly, as do a lot of luxury cars...
