Adjust your headlights from inside the cab???

[twister773]

How many, if any, of you would be interested in this? It will use the same type of switch as the dimmer switch in our trucks but adjust the headlights up and down. Same type of deal as in newer, higher end cars. Would be great for when towing heavy loads as well, etc etc.

I was thinking about this a little bit lately when I adjusted my lights a few times to compensate for a load on. For those without bags this would be the cats ass.

i read a thread about this a couple of years ago and found all of the gm parts to make this work. apparently the european models of our trucks as well as the tahoe's (more specifically the 99-02's) came as a factory option with a thumbroll switch as the adjuster. it was even on the dash in a factory location. ill try and find it for you.

Please do Heavy.

Twister.... if its a 100% GM solution Id be interested in doing something with you on it, otherwise theres no way its gonna happen LOL.

There are some HID companies who have a moving bulb that you would replace your headlight bulb with, and different height adjustments.

wow, not for 1100 bucks!!!!! really cool feature though. id buy one but not for that much

 

[Heavyfuel]

yeah its a little heavy on price I agree.

 

[Chevmeister]

To bad that headlight leveling switch doesnt have 5 positions. I know someone is thinking what im thinking. Change a few resistors inside and you have a stealth DSP....4???
