Headlight electrical angle adjustment

Recommended Posts

Question after question.. I know. Please be friendly ok :)

 

 

 

Here in Finland where I live we have to have electrical angle adjustment for headlights.

 

How does the Supra`s electric headlight angle adjustment work?

 

My car is J-spec Facelift SZ-R

 

I have this button on the dash:

.. which I believe is headlight angle adjustment button.

 

My headlights have the motor, but there is no absolutely no single wire near headlights that I can connect to them.

 

Where do the wires go? I assume I have some wires or connection possibilities because of that button on the dash?

 

Thanks again for your help in advance :)

Guess I`ll have to make this a new question.

 

 

 

 

How do I connect my headlight`s electric angle adjustment to work? Tried search, but did not find straightforward answer :/

 

EDIT: found answers from US supra-forums, but stumped into the next problem. It`s really not that easy to make one with no electrical skills myself. Has somebody made harness to make those headlight height adjuster motors to work?

Would you post a link?

 

I never knew the supra had this function.

Did you think it was just a coincidence that your mirrors folded in when you flicked the switch? :p

There are headlight adjustment motors? I thought there were just a couple of bolts you turned manually at the headlights themselves.

 

Some of the export specs had adjustable headlamp aim. Not sure if they were present on the UK spec, but they were available. It needs the loom though, which is the tricky part if the car didn't come with adjustable headlamps originally.

Just when I thought I knew everything about Supras :D

Yep. Found out it`s standard on UK Spec and I currently have UK-spec glass headlights which do have the motor.

 

Unfortunately my J-Spec Facelift doesn`t have any buttons or wires to make the headlight motors work so it`s bit tricky to do it.

 

and MORE unfortunately is that it is REQUIRED here in Finland to have electrical height adjustment motors (and button inside the cabin) from -95 upwards. This is going to be a loooooong project.

Anyone care to make it for me? ;)
