Default Cockpit adjustable Headlights??? Does any one have info on them?

I was chatting with a friend about Cockpit adjustable Headlights and what is involved to install them on a USDM hype R?

What parts ?
what costs?
who would have the entire thing?
and how to wire it up?

Just thinking out loud but I can't answer myself

EDM Integra's have motors that adjust the headlight from inside the car.

The UK and European ITRs have electrically height adjustable low beam & high beam units. Using the adjustment switch, the headlights can be levelled to compensate for load in the car.

If you really wanted the parts for it I'm sure austrian type-R can help you out.

I've adjusted my headlights on my Integra and STi once. It is not worth the effort to install those. I don't even touch the switch at all. I guess it is cool if you want to impress someone with it.

If you really want them, I am pretty sure you just need the adjuster and the actuators for each headlight.

I heard of this a while back and it sparked my interest. If someone could find out the price and how to install I'd consider it if it isn't too outrageous.

That's the whole point...JDM bling. Actually, those would come in handy with my HID's when someone ticks me off. LOL...feel my beam pattern burn your cornea.

IS300s also have a similar device, though its automatic and its very fast too.

I dont think it really matters, no one has their headlights adjusted anyway so why should you care about blinding someone when they dont care about you? I'm always being blinded at night...

The new BMW's have self-adjusting HID's...I believe the STi's and Mini Coopers do also.

in germany there is a law that says lights must be electric adjustable from cabin.

and xenon has sensors at the rear axle that say much loaded, low loaded and so. and automatically adjust the light height.

its stock in all german cars since about 10 or 13 years.

don t understand why you us boys don t have that.
aren t there much blenders? i could imagine that it is awfull drivin in us at night with 20 people comin in front having **** installed head lights.....

Because Honda sucks. And yes, it does suck to drive at night in the US. Be glad you don't live here.

my friend is doing a retrofit from a STI into his accord. Its not worth the hassle. Looks cool to raise and lower but its such a waist.

it seems as though the JDM's got jipped too. that's a first. anyway, i have never heard of this feature. it's pretty nifty if you ask me. btw, i have heard of UKDM, but EDM???
