That is kinda what i was thinking, but i did not think that A2s had any sort of beam dip system. (there actually are some light switches that say"191 941 531 C SWITCH FOR LIGHTING FOR VEHICLES WITH DIM-DIP DRIVING LIGHTS " so i guess that they did offer something odd like that, but that makes me think that it is built into the light switch and does not get its own switch.
This diagram does make it look like it is mounted above the regular light switch which is kinda cool (so that is why they put that dummy there

) and makes sense.

Ask Dean F, he has this setup methinks. It's a power headlight adjustment setup.

It's part of the blinker fluid pressure system that regulates the return pressure of photons back to the ventilated stupidium brake lines. But don't forget to readjust the regatulator, because the Digifant system is going to look for a timing feedback from trigger on the camshaft rotational dampener. It's all in the Bentley.

Gee, Don, are you sure that's not for the Croatian-only optional Tractor Beam system?

Yeah, Dean just got that set up. Its a little knob that you can adjust from 1-3. It adjusts the headlights up and down with a little motor. Pretty cool http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Sometimes I really think it would have been better if ETKA didn't get into the hands of the public. It's becoming more and more apparent that specialized training is necessary to use it and understand it properly. I never thought I'd see the day...

This feature sounds like something that people in the states shouldn't have. Alteast not on a grand scale. I can just picture road rage with lights. Guess states laws stopped that one.
