headlight levelling motors
Hi, I recently purchased a new pair of Van Wezel headlights for my 1998 V70. I also fitted a very good quality HID kit. The levelling motors worked fine on my old headlights but not on the new ones. The beams were aligned by my local garage but I turned the interior levelling switch to lower the beams slightly. I have noticed that the beams have remained at the same level and adjusting the switch does not alter the height of the beams.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem. thanks jack. |

Assuming the levelling mechanism works with the HID, first you need to figure out where the problem is. When you adjust up / down do the motors actually turn? You should be able to hear them. If you can I suspect that the mechanical connection inside the headlight has come apart. If not, check electrical connectors and fuse. Joe Last edited by Joe H; Dec 17th, 2018 at 09:50. |

Hi joe, It was the fuse after all. It must have blown ages ago as I never needed to adjust the level of my old headlights. Thanks for your trouble. jack
