Won´t work w/o changing and connecting the whole harness. It´s a real PITA and A LOT of work + risk of screwing a couple of things up. Don´t even try to do that. Trust me.

what's a headlight level-er?

i know the name is self explanitory, but how does it work?

 

[Finnon]

twiddle a knob on centre console and the headlights move up and down to compensate for weight in the car. little motors from what i can see change the angle of the headlight. seperate from the actual motors that lift the lights up when ya turn them on

Damn, you Europeans take your lighting seriously!

That sounds pretty cool.

leae the motors fitted or the headlamp bowls move about! But you MAY have to cut a bit out of the headlight panel behind! got to do this on my jdm car as the motors hit the panel stoping the lights closing correctly!

Theirs was an all in one unit, with all the electronics in a single box. Ours was a simple control box and the electronics were spread around the dash, so, impossible to fit to an RHD car. Well not impossible, but unless you have the whole interior loom from a US spec LHD vehicle and a lot of extension wire....
