[quickglx]

I jacked this picture, sorry.........

Where can I get one of these switches??? Anyone have any wiring diagrams or part numbers or anything? help me out here please...

[aborchew]

If anyone knows where to get OEM switched like that, I'm very interested as well. I want to rig one up to my sub.

[Devious27t]

screw that i wanna know how he got those newer gauges to work and they are european too???? arent those 2002+? i want those so that damn lcd doesnt take a shit on me again

[e.van]

I wouldn't mind one for my sub as well!

[J_Ho1997]

Hey!!! That's my car!!!



We have manual levelling control on all A4 without Xenon. Now with Valeo ecodes, I bought new Valeo levelling motors and with wiring help from Alexaris, got them working again with ecodes and hid kit.

I can get part numbers for the levelling switch but you can also ask vagparts. I'm sure they can help ya.

My gauges are stock from my '97 A4 TDI.

Here's a newer pic with cluster rings and piano black trim

[Alexaris]

Try epimporters, I think they can help you with the switches and motors, They got for me the motors.

Good luck with the project

Great work Nuno

[ProtoColD]

I can do a GB on that too.

[gary808]

I'd be interested in a set of leveling motors and a manual switch for my euro xenons...

could you please post information on how to hook up the leveling stepper motors to the switch??

thank you!!!

[ProtoColD]

I dont have that info. I am hunting for that also.

Lets do it. I am in.

[ProtoColD]

you gotta find the wiring diagram of it...

[Alexaris]

This is what I do

There are 3 different wires on the connecor positios 5,7 and 6
5 is Black with the Brown White OEM (Groud)
7 is Blue with the yellow and Black OEM
6 is Brown with the Brown and Blue OEM

Cause I already have the wires on the car, but his could vige you a hint, cause the ground

Question to my US guys...
Whats so special on the levelling switch ???
I don't use it.

[turboawd]

did you make that boost gauge pod yourself by cutting the vent? it looks so clean man!!

It controls the height of the headlights from inside the car, that's whats special about it. I thought that was obvious though....

[Daft]

The main reason everyone is so gung ho for a headlamp leveling switch is so they can raise the cut-off much higher on dark roads and see more of the road.

I hate using my high beams, they're so budget looking compared to HID lighting.

It would be pretty nice to be able to roll a knob to raise my cut-off points a few degrees higher. I guess I'd need to have Valeo headlamps though.....

Also the fact that you lucky euro's have them and we don't. You guys get all the cool stuff on cars, it all gets stripped when it crosses the atlantic.

Would a continuity tester with switch and headlight connector do?

[Alexaris]

ECS is selling a switch for the Golf IV

is called European Leveling Wiring Kit

If you want that feature, you could buy that one and run the wires to the Headlights and place the leveling in the position you want, not necesarily on the dash

[Alexaris]

By the way I forgot to mention that they sell the servos in that same page too, 49 bucks each one, and the switch is 33, good project to do

[OverSpun]

do they sell one for the 99.5+ a4? i have the newer switches in mine but would like a switch to take the place of where the ESP normally is... because i dont have ESP

[quickglx]

Well yes. You could unplug the switch on the dash and see which terminals lead to what on the motors.... And while you were in there you could jot down the part number too.... Well, you know, if you wanted too......

[nmb]

If I have the time tomorrow, I'll do it no prob.

[quickglx]

Damn, thanks alot man. Your help is appreciated.......

[Wilco]

I know this thread is a gazillion years old, but does anyone have any info on how to wire these up? I've got the switches and the motors mounted in my ecodes, but I'm not sure exactly how to wire them up. Anyone successful with this?

[superman_006]

Hmm 3 years later??? are the pics working on anyone elses?

[kenncmiller]

pics no worky

Scroll all the way down.... is this what we are looking for?

[Wilco]

That actually helps a lot! None of those are for a B5, but I could probably rig something up if I can't find something B5 specific.

About 1/2 way down the page they have a b5 kit

Pic for refrence

[Wilco]

Nice! Thanks for the heads up. I just sort of assumed this was such an obscure thing to want that ECS wouldn't have it.
