[s-cars] Headlight Levelling Motors

[Bob Rossato]

The leveling motors are stepper motors, I believe.  From what I recall when
I installed these on my Corrado, the switch will have one output for each
motor, not an individual one for up and down as you listed.  Also, at least
on the factory VW wiring, the switch is wired to the low beams so that you
can not adjust them when the high beams are on.  But you could do it any way
you like.

The headlight motor used on the Audi C4 chassis is the same one I have on
the Corrado (actually a Passat p/n).  At the motor end you would have, 12V
power, ground, and the control wire from the switch.

At least that's my recollection from 7 years ago, so I would get a
confirmation from somebody else before unconditionally trusting my info.  I
believe Igor went through this a lot more recently - as in a few months
ago - and I'm sure his memory is a lot better/fresher.
