Headlight levelers

[BenzMeister]

Has anyone tried to install the Euro highlight levelers on a 202? Or do you need the e code lights. I noticed on the back of the headlights there is a white cover that twist off with a pair of forceps are these for the levelers or for the "city lights" they use in Europe?

Thanks,:)

The US headlights do not include the vacuum adjustments. You will have to buy these and put them in your headlights. Or just buy euro headlamps as they come pre built. Then you just hook up the vacuum lines to them Y out to a current vacuum line and install the switch.

Citylights are easy to hook up as you have the hole there already you just need to wire it up to a bulb and the parking light.

Man youre mod'in like crazy these days!

Where is the hole for the city lights? and what type of socket and bulb would I use, this sounds like an easy project. Thanks Nokia 8860.

US lights are not prewired for it but the hole is found when you remove the main dust cap and look at the rear of the reflector. You will see a hole near the low beam bulb.

I dont know the oem size but they do sell citylight kits at local auto parts store that will fit.

Then all you do is put that kit in the hole wire up to parking lights and tada instant euro look :)

Hole tomorrow, and see what I can find for a city ligh kit, I would think that a "tuner" auto parts stores would have these kits?

Perhaps an inline fuse would solve a overheating before the wire fries?
