Burn-E Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 I talked about these with the guys on the Vpcuk forums. They have the wiring for the headlight adjusters built into the main harness. Probably a bear to do an OE quality install on a USDM car, not sure if we'd be able to get the pinouts too easily either for a more homebrew method. (Using the switch, and just the motors, no wiring) Buy Euro harness - not from UK so it will be LHD - and swap it in. Should take an hour tops, right?
KurT5 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 The headlight harness isn't that difficult but I am not 100% sure in terms of the adjustable. I know for the city lights it was a cake walk to wire them up just like the OEM ones across the pond. I think I posted a while back that we have a "headlight harness" that was installed on US market cars to eliminate the possibility of battery drain. The "harness" was simply a plug to the male end of the wiring harness that did not have a spade for the 4th slot. It's about 6" long and all it does is make sure there is 0% chance of power flowing through the un-used spot. Needless to say I disassembled all this crap because I had the wiring diagrams for the euro headlight & city lights... never had an issue
burnout8488 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Buy Euro harness - not from UK so it will be LHD - and swap it in. Should take an hour tops, right? Less! Dash harness...body harness....ohgod
msestina Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 will the C70 switch fit a late model 850? Looks like the harness is there under my dash and there are unused connectors cliped to backside of the headlights
Kevin. Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 you can buy the 850 switches on eBay UK, there are several listings and they are about 5 euros each
MattyXXL Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 you can buy the 850 switches on eBay UK, there are several listings and they are about 5 euros each Im too lazy to search right now, gimmie link beesh Disregard, I thought you were talking about the mirror switch
Kevin. Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 so I'm looking into buying from headlight assemblies from Germany with the pigtails, figuring out what is what, and running some wiring to the cabin to the switch and see if I can make em work!
survolvo Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 I think DragosD or whatever his SN is has them.... I know he has just about every other OE accessory you can buy.

You don't have headlight adjustment wiring unless your car was imported from the UK.

I could have sworn I've always seen a spare plug on both sides right in that area, But then again im most likely wrong. its a brown plug, looks just like the headlight wiper plug.. maybe?

I have the headlight wipers these spare connectors are black
Kevin. Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Basically every European country had options for the leveling headlights. Been looking at eBay Germany for headlights and they are all over
