blk164S,

How did you mount the lights? The motor is hitting some wiring loom and hoses when I try to install.

BTW the wiring shouldn't be too tough. You can just do a search or experiment. One thing I caution you is trying to clean out the housing, don't do it. Just use blow some air on inside of the housing. You can however clean the lens by wiping.

You need to reroute wiring loom and hoses as light motor needed to be in place to keep reflector in position.

As far as hooking up motors to operate light leveling even with correct switch I think you are missing another component but nobody has come forth with wiring diagram for leveling motor circuit that I know of so I couldn't make my motors work.

My motors cleared wiring and hoses on my 91 5-speed just fine.

Here is some info I had posted but pictures lost in cyberspace check out link to article about one way to wire up.

BTW, Steve do you know how I can fix minor imperfection on the inner reflectors? It seems the coating came off.
No I don't maybe somebody else has figured out a way to "resilver" reflectors. Lens do come off as they have retaining clips and a rubber gasket.

I believe the switch is a 3 position switch (like on my 155 V6). Not many people have such a switch here. Best if you contact breakers' yards in the UK. Try www.gtvince.com or gatwick alfa or whatever . Call Vince up, forget email.


It is a 3 position switch, i do have the switch, just not sure how to hook it up, what wire goes were:rolleyes:

You can re-chrome the reflector but it will cost money. The process is called vacumm chroming, nomally used to chrome the plastic or other non-conductive pieces and it's cheaper than hard chrome/nickel plating but not as durable as.

It costs about $80 to redo a piece.
