What Is This Switch On The Right?

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? :lol:

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

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

Might be for the headlight wiper motors if your car wasn't originally fitted with them. You don't have headlight adjustment wiring unless your car was imported from the UK.

You sure? 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?
