Euro vacuum adjusting headlights

[erik325i]

How exactly does this headlight leveling system work? I am trying to piece together a set to install in my car, but I'm not sure if I have all of the pieces.

Each lowbeam has the adjuster that has a vacuum line going out of it that goes to the knob in the knee bolster. Is it as simple as that? Where is the system getting vacuum from? Am I missing some crucial item?

Thanks.

shows the parts to the system. I've yet head of a functioning kit, most of the time the the lines are just cut going to the adjusters.

Thanks for that realoem link. So, it appears that I have all of the parts needed for the swap, but I still don't see how exactly it works. Has anyone on r3v accually retrofitted this into their car?

They adjust the lows up/down. So, when you're hauling a bunch of stuff in your trunk with a couple people in the back seat, you can adjust your headlights lower to compinsate for the sagging ass.
