[s-cars] Headlight Levelling Motors

[Sean Douglas]

Finally got around to wiring up the levelling motors for my e-code
xenons. I got the inspiration from Bruce's post today and I had the
afternoon off - good timing.

Took me about 5 hours, testing to make sure they work, fabricating a
wiring harness and fishing the wires to the dash switch. I used all OEM
parts and everything can be bought from the dealer, except the switch
which I sourced from Europrice.

Parts

2 x flat contact housings, 3 pin for motors, 357 972 753
6 x pins and grommets for above
1 x housing connector for dash switch, 8L0 971 927
5 x pins for above
1 x headlight range switch, 4A0 941 301A 01C

Various colours (5) of 18 or 20 ga wire, butt connectors, shrink tube,
looming, wire ties.

The left and right motors need to be connected together, I ran 3 wires
across the front where the hood release cable is. I ran the wires from
the dash switch under the driver's footwell and through the firewall
through an existing grommet and connected to the right headlight.

For the light in the switch itself, I tapped into an adjacent switch for
switched 12V and ground.
