EURO HID - Lower Suspensions

[Spec83]

There is - i have HID euro and its on mine... You just have to pop the covers off there is U-->D text inscribed on the top of the healight cover (black plastic)

Did you pop up the covers before? There is nothing under the cover. May be ithey used the same plastic cover as Euro Standard (with halogen lights).

I dont think so - the adjuster would have an inbuilt feedback loop so the motors knew where they were relative to the road position and the travel left in the adjustment range. They also have to stop adjusting at a point lol

Adjusting it in theory should just decrease the range in which the lights aim up when going down hill (this is assuming that the lights are now pointing more toward the road since the viewable distance has decreased)

On a related note - I was looking at getting some tein ss coilovers and noticed that the jap catalogue states that all tein coilovers are not for auto adjustment lighting... can anyone prove or disprove this?? Do they not have sensor mounting points??

Hi,

Just wondering whether anyone has the answer for the above? I to am looking at getting coliovers but after reading this, I'm having second thoughts.

Cheers

there's no sensor mounting point for most of coilovers. Unless you make your own bracket. What I did to mine was the sensor connect to like a swing rod & just tie it up to the highest point (adjust with HID on).
I lowerd mine approx. 55mm at front & 45mm at back. But now seems fine when driving at night.

I have fitted Tein SS-P Coilovers with EDFC controller to my 05 Euro Luxury with HIDs. There was a ring that slipped around the original shock that mounted to a sensor via a connecting rod. I assumed this was for ESP/Traction Control system, but may be headlight leveling related. I simply took this ring off the original shock using a screw driver and hammer and tapping it loose, and slipped it over the Tein shock. No dramas so far with ESP/TC system - but obviously me looking in this thread would indicate I still want to adjust my beams manually! hahahaha

How do you manually adjust the HIDs? my left one is about 1-2cm higher then the right when about 3m away from the wall I can't stand it!

yeah i adjusted mine manually. just need a philips screwdriver down the hole in the level part

It is meant to be like that so you don't blind oncoming traffic on the right side. Do not increase the height of the right-side beam.
