A little wheels that allows one to adjust for the height of the headlights in regards to the load of the car. For example: a lot of friends in the back with a load of luggage in the trunk will, due to the load distribution, cause the headlights to shine high, blinding traffic. This little wheel will allow you to tilt down the headlights from the inside of the car thereby improving your visibility and be non-blinding to oncoming traffic.

does that apply to all lights. those with auto leveling wouldnt require such a wheel would it?

There not that great........

We had 2 avalanches with them....dont think we ever used them

CitronC230K_03

yeah i know, its more of a novelty for me. just something id like to have yo know.

amdeutsch

Correct. Just like miroj posted.

CitronC230K_03

i should pay better attention while reading the threads.

miroj

Maybe if I had a death star people would read my posts too.

Email MBenzNL and ask him to send you a kit or make an appointment for him to do the work for you.

The cheapest folding mirror job you can have is

- folding mirror frame, no memory x 2
- cable connection x 2
- folding mirror light switch (xenon or halogen)

If you need a new door controller x 2 then you just buy it.

Door controllers come in about 10 flavours, seriously.

(I mean it looks after several things including the air bag and puddle light, alarm and so on ...... but that's OT for now).

- adjust mirror
- memory option
- Avantgarde / elegance version
- dimming
- folding

Most of the part numbers for the higher spec controllers work in the lower spec cars. So it just depends what you have in your car.

ill send him an email and ask him how much. whats the approx. cost, anyone know. that is going to be a definate mod. i have power seats with memory so i dont think that should be an issue right?

CitronC230K_03

whats the difference in the light switch between a xenon headlight and halogen? the headlamp washers?

miroj

I dont know how to express my surprise that in one thread the answer must be given 3 times.

This is the sign of time poverty, slow down, relax, have a good read. It's all there.

Just remember, Xenon is one type, Halogen is the other. Dont get the two confused with folding mirrors. That is all you need to know.

The other thing is .... there is no 0-1-2-4 wheel on the halogen switch.

Here is a pic of the parts, notice the mirror frames are in a folded position



I thought I should share this with all those interested in the update... the correct parts for the W203 folding mirror frames have arrived and are sitting in my house. They will be installed + programmed accordingly this Friday June 18th, 2004.

Cheers!

They don't need to be programmed, it's just plug and play. I love mine.

CitronC230K_03

doesnt the convenience feature need to be programmed so when you lock your car they fold?

Yang1815

nice! let us know how much and show some pics when done :-)

CitronC230K_03

mine are supposed to be here friday. i contacted steve and am having mine overnighted thru my FedEx account.

tifosiv122

Can that be done? I thought last checked it couldn't be?

Erik

CitronC230K_03

ive heard no and yes so i dont know. im just anxious as all hell for mine to arrive. if i can get them sent tomorrow overnight ill be sure to have them friday!

Wiedermann

Mr tifosiv122:
You can plug and use the mirrors... if you want them to fold when you lock your car automatically (only available depending on the option of your car) then you need some programming to be done

My AMG at home (W203) does automatically fold when the car is locked, unfold when the car is unlocked

Cheers

tifosiv122

Cool. When you find out the menu choice, please pass it along. I'm not sure I want that feature as I open them after leaving the garage...but its good to know it can be done.

Mr tifosiv122:
Will do!.. though ALL the programming will be done at my M Benz dealer (still will pass along the info.)

In an "unrelated" note, I've purchased "Fedex" and decided to "ground" all shipments until further notice...

CitronC230K_03: What??...WHF!!!..

... just meessing with ya Mr CitronC230K_03 ... Like Mr Yang1815 said, just make sure you post updated pictures after you've installed your new toys

Just in case for anyone that might be interested:

I have the "tendency" when I order parts to get a "second" full set "just in case"... well... the folding mirror frames are not the exception to that rule .

I have not decided to "post" the sell of my extra set as of yet, however, if you are interested, you can email me to: Wiedermann@aol.com

Cheers!

Wiedermann

CitronC230K_03

you can count on me to post pics. i havent heard back from steve yet so i dont even know if my parts have been shipped. if he can get them out tomorrow and overnighted to me then ill be sure to have them by 10:30am Friday morning. just in time for a friday evening install!!!!

i hope he can get them out!

HITMAN

Do the normal mirrors fold at all?

CitronC230K_03

yeah if you push really hard. they do fold though. they feel like they are going to break but they dont. they fold both forwards (towards hood/bonnet) and backwards (towards trunk/boot).
