Headlight leveling system
Was gathering the parts to hook up the headlight leveling system on the european headlights. Got everything but the T or Y connectors. Bought the vacuum hose from the dealer but he didn't have the right size connectors. Didn't think much of it figuring I could go to any McParts store and get them. As it turns out they didn't have anything either. Anyone have a source or part# for these connectors. I know the vacuum hose is 4mm od.

You need 3 of 124-800-44-15 ....were about 16$ each.
Not sure if you can buy in the USA w/o a euro-VIN with a USA reg. though. I can get 4u them if you can't.
Yellow connector goes to the headlamp, black nipple goes to the interior dial/switch. You cut the purple plastic hose in half and put each end on whatever tubing you use in between.
You'll need the check valve also...got one?

Look where they sell the bulk tubing.
Fittings are nothing special, just a barbed tube fitting.
If you can't find the "y", then just use a "T"

Just an update. It turns out the connectors are those used on older mercedes. I went to an online parts store and keyed in a 1981 380 SL and used vacuum for the keyword. The connectors were there as well as the check valve I needed. The check valve is the blue and black one by the way. Thanks for everyone's help
