Be sure you modify your wiring to allow for the highs + lows to be on at the same time:

yeah... im not saying that this will prevent me from hitting a deer... im just saying that the more visibility i have at night the better. but im preching to the converted with you jim... as you are already desinging your own headlight system (which im greatly awaiting how it turns out). jim, you are using HID lamps or not? speaking of seeing around corners... the new lexus' cars have the lamps that turn corners with you. the older ones had those little aux. lights that would come on when you put one of the turn signals on to see around the corner... i always thought that was cool.

yeah i was joking about that with my friend two days before this happened (when another deer jumped out into the road... but i was able to avoid him). really those have been my only experiences w/ deer jumping out. they are normally a little better behaved around here... maybe they have seasonal affective disorder and are depressed because of winter? i dont know... but i hope they stop this nonsese soon ... in the mean time id like to get some better lights so i at least have a WARNING of an impending impact (even if i cant prevent it). -heath

oh, one thing that i was wondering if i could ask you.... sorry to bother you... but if it were possible to get some shots of the lights shining down the street or on a wall at night with the different light settings so we can compare them. i think my main question at this point (which you probably wouldnt be able to answer) is how does the highest setting on the lights (0) comapre to the level of the stock US lights.

also the comment earlier about modifying the brights and lows to run at the same time (when in bright mode) is another good idea for more light. piaa also sells over rated bulbs (like 20 extra watts of light) but our wiring would have to most likely be upgraded so it didnt melt. i also wonder about the stock optics of hte lense... if people would consider them a weak link in the lighting systems (as so many other systems on other cars w/ the same wattage seem to work much better in my opinion)

I believe there still is adjustment even with the motors, so the high point should be able to be set. From the pics of the parts fiche, it looks like the adjustment screw goes into the motor. It doesn't make sense to have the manual adjustment not there - it's necessary to properly aim the lights.

ok, i got them in the mail today from belgum. i was up late tonight playing with the circuit trying to get it to work right, and i think i have it figured out. the lights/brackets are not mounted in the car yet.

if anyone is interested i can take some pictures of the required parts and or post up what i think should be the proper wiring diagram. i still need a matching female connector for the switch (still have to find a source for it).... but just using some good old aligator clips, im pretty confident that all you need is the switch, the two little motors, and a 12v power source. if you guys want more details post, and ill reply.
