paulrenn Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hi all! For some reason my car doesn't have this installed and is required by the registration authorities over here. I'm looking for a headlamp raising and lowering mechanism; the control on the dashboard (under the light controls - its a thumbwheel with graduations marked on it) and any motors needed to raise the lamp cradles at the front and any other associated gubbins. There is a picture of the control on page 37 of my owners manual; I would scan it but I don't have my scanner nearby. Was this available on the UK/Jap models, and does anyone have a spare system they can sell me urgently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrenn Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 Does anyone even have such a system installed? It is to level the headlights if you have heavy load in the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 You have the glass headlights, right? Does this help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3xt3r Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 You dont need it. I imported a jspec to germany and didnt have to install it. They can give you an extra permission to drive without it. If you have any questions just shoot me an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrenn Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hi D3xt3r - yep I also got the special permission (67 euro extra ) but need to export the car to Scandinavia, and some places there is no exemption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrenn Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 Jake - that looks the ticket buddy!!! Nice find. Now all I need to do is source the original OEM adjustment thumbwheel control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knob you can get from your local toyota dealer its only around 5-6€ if I remember right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrenn Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yep they made me pay...you didn't need to?! Thanks for the tip about the dealer, I will go over today and check it out. I was imagining about 100 euro for that sucker You never know with Toyota. Some stuff is fair price and some costs the earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrenn Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 One final favour: could anyone with an EPC look up the part number of the control for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
