I have two toggle bars next to the light switch, one with numbers 1-3 and one with a bar that goes from thin to thick, is that the auto headlight lowering sensor required to legally fit HID's?
OK, the wheel with the bar which goes from thin to thick is just the dimmer for the instrument lighting. And the other with numbers 1-3 is the MANUAL headlamp beam level control. It is not an 'automatic' level control, and you will not have the required sensors on the front and rear suspension arms. So you can NOT legally retro fit Xenons, even if you use the complete OEM Xenon headlamp unit.
Just to confirm my advice, when it is dark, park up about 10 foot away facing a wall (or garage door, petrol station, or whatever). Turn on your dipped headlamps, and move the 1-3 wheel, and watch the beams go down and up in sync with your thumbwheel. Then when you are bored with that, look at the back-lighting in the instrument cluster, and move the other wheel, and watch the instrument lights dim up and down. When doubley bored - drive off or park correctly!
it looks like some kind of reciever or signal enhancer. any ideas?
That is just an aftermarket GPS antenna. Looks like someone from CeeBeebies applied the glue though!
thats an internet cable but if i plug my laptop into it what am i connecting to exactly?
That is the connector for a dash-top GPS speed camera detector system.
that is the thing thats suckered on to my windscreen and i have no idea what it is. it is connected by a thin cable.
this is a side view of the mysterious sucker thing.
And those are additional 'laser detectors' to link into the GPS speed camera warning device.
So can anyone tell me what these things are for? i do have a parrot connected to the stereo if that helps, i would rip the internet cable out but i dont want it messing anything up. im learning loads just by being on this forum so thanks guys 
My final guess that those leads and associated gubbins belong to a Road Pilot -
