[Es2] Help with RS2 headlight leveling electronics

[Steve Eiche]

Mark,
My car is an '82 quattro, not a Coupe Quattro and I have all the parts 
from a the 1990 German version of the car (the last yeat that it was 
produced), which used the 20V turbo engine.  The car was called simply 
the Audi quattro 20V.  I would guess that the '90 CQ had the headlight 
level adjusters in Germany, but we didn't get it here.
