First, let me apologize to all for hijacking the power antenna thread below.

http://www.chirpthird.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=012999

I have done some more homework and came up with this:

10402858 headlamp level switch $25.32
10411284 2-switch plate 2.24
15306189 connector hdlp lv sw ??? 21.57
16525315 headlamp lh w/leveling actuator 187.26
16525316 headlamp rh w/leveling actuator 187.26

Prices from gmpartsdirect.com

I'm still searching for the:
actuator connectors (2)
or wiring harness

The schematic is in the 2002 Helm's manual vol. 3, pg. 8-198.

I previously made mention of a diode. That was my mistake. It should be a resistor. It is probably part of the wiring harness.

I found the values of this resistor in the 2002 Helm's manual vol. 3, pg. 8-284 step 6.

732 ohms for coupes.
649 ohms for convertibles.

If anyone has completed this mod, or anyone with a parts listing , can you check my part numbers?

Oh, the headlamp assemblies are for RH rule of the road. I believe that is what we have.

Sounds like you are on the right track!

I could not locate the resistor numbers anywhere at the time I did the mod. Looked in my 99 service manual, and nothing. Finally a little birdie was able to hook me up with somebody who could.
Yes, you want the RH rule parts.

As far as the harness, I made one, since the other one was REALLY REALLY expensive. You will need to get the connectors for the motors, and I was able to order them through an Audi dealer.

Neat system, hope you have fun with it. It works very well. Wish it had been an option from the factory.

Thanks Steve,

Yeah, the complete harness is $398 from gmpartsdirect.com.

How did you go about matching up the connector?

Did you bring the actuator motor to Audi parts?

Do you have the part number or can you get a part number off the connector?

Thanks,
Benny

Sounds like I need to pick up a copy of the 02 service manual. I got my info from another source. I plan on doing this mod sometime late this summer or in the winter when I have time to dink with it.... [Cool]

I believe steve told me he just took the actuator down to the import store and they knew exactly what it was. You may run into trouble getting export parts for a non export car though....

It's possible.
I priced the parts out at gmpartsdirect.
I also dropped them an email, to see if they can get them.
I will let you know.

Well, here is something to get you started. The headlight motor connectors (you need 2) are a part #022906233B, and the terminals (you need 6) are #N90335303. They are from the VW/Audi Dealer, so all you have to do is take those part numbers in and order yours. The connectors are about $12.00 each, and the terminals are about .95 cents each.

I am interested in getting the part number for the pigtail for the switch on the console. I think I just made one, but cant remember! You know, it happens when you get "old" [Wink]
(Thats my excuse, and I am sticking to it [Big Grin] )

Steve,

The parts diagram lists the connector as:
CONNECTOR, SW-F/TOP
(BLACK)(8-WAY F W/LEADS,
7-12GA & 4-18GA AS REQ)
(2.535)(AC-DELC0 #PT1364)
98-02 F67 15306189

NOTE: this connector is also shown to connect to the convertible top switch. But under the listing for convertible top switch, it says to use connector 12191825.

I plugged top switch 10402721 to connector 15306189 and it fits. So, I am not sure which to use.

Also, the leveling switch differs between coupe and convertible. Probably to compensate for the heavier rear of the convertible.

10402858 F67 convertible
10402857 F87 coupe

And, there are 5 switch plates listed
10401284 00-02 F67(EXC NW9)
10411286 00-02 F67(TR7)
10411289 00-02 F87(TR7)
10282752 98-99 F67(TR7)(EXPORT)
10282753 98-99 F87(TR7)(EXPORT)

Oh, the actuator motors are not available separately.

Benny
