its a brand of headlight controller you can buy that comes with a little potentiometer dial controller that you can wire in, probably much like the one youve used.

ok, to be honest i have no idea what it is your refering to. im a little limited in the wiring field as sean and russelb is finding out. it,s just a normal switch you'd buy from an electric store. nothing flashy.

Its all good..

Actually that sounds even better than the ones ive seen then,
alot less complicated..and cheaper if its as simple as a switch..

Bring on the wiring diagram i say!

Sounds like its a single setting thing, like they just pop up and stop where ever you can flick the switch??
so does that mean the light can still be on when theyre in lazy eye position??

FYI:That potentiometer thing i mentioned (im pretty sure) allows you to vary the position using a knob much like a volume on a stereo

the light as in the dash light or the headlights. your answer to these is yes and yes. the switch has an off position, a neutral position and a down position. as soon as you release the pressure from the down position it automatically returns to neutral. when you want to use it for normal head light use you just leave the switch to off position. when you want to pop them up a little then you put it to neutral and give it a fick downwards which it will run the motors for a second. the switch will come back to neutral straight away. it really is as easy as it sounds and i was a lillte dissapointed as to how easy it really is. but then again it cost me stuff all off e-bay.

Yeah... that sounds like a simple set up that i want to use!!!

Did it come with a wiring diagram? Do you reckon you could please post it or pm it to me!

That would be awesome!

Thanks for that link for the diffs on my post too.
No doubt you'll have to upgrade yours too if your a little trigger happy like myself

Ps. which turbo kit are you installing? is it a kit or full custom setup?Boost psi?

Hey glen,
Thats great! Looks pretty simple now! Ill be doing that now i reckon.. Ill let you know how i go!

Yeah imrunning 8 and 11psi. 8 is normally what i run, which is fun, but flicking to 11 gives another 20Kw which is extremely noticeable! :lol:

But with stock internals i mainly stick to 8psi.

Thanks for your help glen!
