Headlamp Leveling Motor

Vehicles equipped with the Remote Headlamp Leveling System, utilize headlamp leveling motors. Two leveling motors are used per vehicle, one for each headlamp. These leveling motors are attached to the rear of the headlamp modules. They can be described as a small semi-square shaped module with a electrical connector attached to one side. Due to vehicle design these motors can only be serviced or accessed by removing the headlamp from the vehicle.

The Headlamp Leveling Motors move the headlamp and beam pattern according to the signal received from the Headlamp Leveling Switch. With the vehicles headlamps " ON " a signal voltage is sent from the Headlamp Leveling Switch and received at each of the headlamp leveling motors. This signal voltage (typically 2 - 5 volts) tells the headlamp leveling motors where to position the headlamps. The headlamp leveling motors are attached to the headlamps with a pushrod snapped into the rear of headlamp reflector mechanism.
