Hello my name is Dean and i am new to the forum, I have just purchased a 1998 Omega Elite 2.5V6 in Gold. I absolutely love it but there are a couple of issues i need help with.
The car is fitted with HID's however someone has changed the light switch box and now it has the manual levelling switch (it does not work however). I am aware that it should have an auto levelling system, but when i turn the dipped beams on, i get the initial blue(ish light) but no auto levelling takes place and it looks as if the drivers side is very low....
Also the drivers side light unit has condensation inside it...
So my questions to the wise ones are.
1)why would the auto levelling not be working?
2)how do i adjust them manually?
3)is it possible to open the headlight unit and clean out the water and condensation.
4)The hids give of an initial blue ish light but then seem to fade to white, is this normal, I thought they should stay blueish?
Hope you can help
Thanks
Dean
I'm no expert but here goes :-
1). Different switches will probably have different wiring. Has anyone got access to wiring diagrams and can check?
Failing that it could be ballast packs, motors, or level sensors? If you can swap with a known working switch to check.
2). Not sure if you can, but be careful around the back of the headlight unit, there's a lot of current, and each bulb costs around £130.
3). Probably but again be careful. You would really ned to figure out how the moisture is getting in, and stop that at the same time.
4). Yes. This is perfectly normal ....... well mine do the same.
And finally. I presume you have a mini-facelift.
If you park a couple of meters away from a wall or something similar, and turn on your lights. Do you not see the lights come on, level down slightly then and then back to level. If so then they are working correctly.
