Whats this for?
« on: 01 August 2012, 23:56 »
Just wipped out my headlight switch and found an extra plug, Any ideas what the red plug goes to?

It's the plug in for the headlamp adjuster switch.

It's the plug in for the headlamp adjuster switch.

This, it's for cars with motors in the headlights to adjust the lights. If your car doesn't have them, there will be nowhere for it to plug into:

On the topic of adjustable headlights...I have just bought a pair for joey modding which appear to be adjustable (Black plug recepticle thing on corner of headlights as opposed to blanks on standards). Now, will the wiring to plug these in at the headlight end be hanging around there somewhere?

No it won't be there, you need the headlight levelling specific loom that runs along the slam panel. its something I fitted on my own car.
