CrumbMC Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just spotted this while walking up my driveway. the car hasen't been driven since i came back from oulton park 2 weeks ago. Sorry for crappy pic, only have my work phone as a way of getting a pic onto my comp. Anything to put my mind at ease / prepare for big expendature will help Pic is taken from just behind the nearside rear wheel. I'm sure whatever that is should be attached...

CrumbMC Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks guys. If anyone else can confirm this that would be great. I'm an electrician so i can cable tie like a boss if that's all that's needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrumbMC Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Zugara, all HIDs must have auto leveling so you don't dazzle oncoming cars if you have Chris Moyles in the boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Don't think it will be that Bob, the pic is from behind the rear wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Zugara, all HIDs must have auto leveling so you don't dazzle oncoming cars if you have Chris Moyles in the boot. Realise that, but I thought the levelling system was part of the ballast unit? Can't see why there would be a levelling unit at the back end of the car.

Wasso Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just a really peculiar place to put a part that relates to headlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just a really peculiar place to put a part that relates to headlights Makes perfect sense as it is mechanically hooked up to the the rear ARB drop link and electronically to the headlamp levelling. Its main function is to lower the beam when the boot is loaded Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
