Some folks kept the stuff that was swapped out to meet code then swapped it back. Wouldn't you?

What are the adjustable lights? Is that the thumbwheel I have on the dash that has the light symbol over it? Numbered 1-3?

yah, they were activated by vacuum using that 'thumb wheel", purple lines if I remember right, I see you have the Euro bumpers, thats a nice look.

I think the color is "thistle green"?

AHA, that would explain the plugged vacuum line going towards the headlights. What did they do, tilt? Wierd.

Yep, The idea is if you have a heavy load in the back seat or trunk you can lower your lights so as to not blind oncomming cars. I use them also to get a little extra road lite up. Also with the Euro lights you can run with fogs and brights at the same time. (big deal )
