that's not even my car, but I'll try to get a close-up from mine next time I'm at the garage with a camera.

Everytime. We all have to get shortshifters to avoid it

It adjusts the beam, something moves inside the light housings, not the housing itself.
LOL thats a perfectly good excuse tho!

Interesting that they didnt offer the beam adjustment in the US...wonder how hard it would be to retro-fit....

It's the "your square thing has wavy lines over it" indicator. Duh. Or maybe it's an indicator of when your tv dinner is done cooking. Who knows!

Ah ah
you guys are really funny
in fact the "cat overheat" light is pretty stupid
but i think that if they put the written mark on it like you have (think so) nobody would have understood it
i can think of people saying: cat? my pet is burning?
ah ah
in 92 cat cars were not supposed to have a catalyser on them, so very few people knew what was

i saw that light on Ferrari
"cylinder slowdown" was written on them
what the h**l, how can you SLOW DOWN a cylinder?
but italians are always known for their "weird" english!

for the fog light;
italian law says you have to have at least one (think that is for safety), in the FD there are two (for simmetry or what??) but only one works, and the stupid thing is that law says nothing for the front fog lamp...

and BTW: we don't have any kind of neighbours trashbin...

It's be pretty cool to hook that switch up to a boost controller, or better yet, my PFS Purple computer!

I re-rigged my headlight adjuster switch for altitude control (in hundreds of feet above ground) on my rocket propelled passenger ejection seat.

Comes in handy for "go ugly, early" Saturday night dates.
