      Left one is headlight adjustment. Was there a separate control for the headlight washers?

            It's a level adjuster not a headlight dimmer...

            The second one to the right of it looks like it was an aftermarket install.

              they both look like afterthoughts anyway.

              plus, who cares. let's see the rest of the car! :D

                as said, the left is for aiming the headlights down when you have a bunch of crap in your trunk. the headlight intensive wash operates off of the headlight stalk by pushing it in. It basically sends a signal to the special relay (2 extra pins) that goes to the controller on the washer tank. This operates the smaller intensive cleaning system to spray concentrated fluid on the windshield.

                could it be part of the optional radar detector or something to do with a factory sub?

                  The right one is to adjust the active spoiler on the rear. It allows it to extend upwards to slow the car down. This is very very rare.

                    ^ yeah right............

                    that's some bullsh*t someone tacked into that car. Like posted before, the far left control is for headlight height adjustment- it was a law for all cars after 1991 in Germany to have leveling headlights.

                    BTW, that is probably not an EVO III car, look at the ebay pedals, non black guages, and rusty door sill, non alcantara wheel, only half leather covered center console.......

                      The pedals, gauges, and steering wheel could have been replaced for some reason. And I don't think all Sport Evo's came with leather consoles but I could be wrong.

                      It does have the plaque on the center console and it looks to be correct.

                        Now I know where I'm going to place my battery cut-off switch.

                          Sport Evo's could be optioned with adjustable shocks, with Comfort, Normal and Sport settings. The three-position rotary switch, labelled "K" "N" and "S" was located on the center console. That particular switch on the dash doesn't look factory, but it could be aftermarket installation of a control switch for similarly-adjustable suspension, such as modern high-end coilovers.

                              It looks like this is the owner (or former owner)...



                              Maybe someone should e-mail him. Looks to be a real Sport Evo.
