Trying to understand how the SG9 facelift HID leveling system works with a view to swapping it into my X.

I've seen posts referring to leveling components on the suspension, small leveling motors for the lights and also a dash switch with 5 manual settings on it.

Wondering then is the system manual or automatic and is it adjusted with motors on the headlights, or is it more involved with sensors elsewhere and suspension components etc?

I've got no idea, so what are we dealing with exactly?

Cheers. M

Yup, other than the dead body in the back, I want the rest of my journey to be on the level🙄

I don't know anything really about this setup either but Kevin's 03 seems to have two sensors, while the 06 I think has front and rear (?) suspension sensors like this front one (XT model)

555616


and this switch with 5 settings
555617

I'm guessing the switch manually adjusts the headlights (they must have motors somewhere?), but the suspension sensors only seem relevant in an auto adjusting system which is confusing.

I'm guessing that the setup is the same for the facelift STI and the XT, so any of those owners, please feel free to jump in?
