HID Xenon Install question
 


hi folks,</P>


I have a '98 E320 wagon. I picked up some factory E-Code HID (real) lights. I installed them but am having one problem. It appears that there is no manual aiming mechanism for these lights. I suspect that in European they had an electronic aiming system for these lights, but it appears that the US cars do not. Am I missing something?</P>


Is there a way to hook up the aiming system (assuming it is electronic)? </P>


If not, is there a way to manually aim them?

Thanks in advance for your help.</P>


Cheers,</P>

The Euro version'shave manual aiming for headlights and I believe that is for halogens only. (Soadjusting the aiming by the "knoibs" is the only way I guess)Xenon lights are required to have auto-leveling feature in order for it to become legal.

how do i hook up the auto-leveling feature? Is that the 4 pin connector that my harness doesn't have?</P>


And if yes, is there a way to retrofit - the auto-leveling wiring?</P>



Cheers,</P>
