Default '06/'07 Headlamp leveler pinout

Anybody have the wiremap for the '06/'07 headlamp level switch? I'm trying to put one in my '05 and the wiring is different. I've got the '05 service manual and know the pinout for my car, I just don't know how the '06/'07 work.

If anybody has a service manual for those years, the headlamp level system page of the manual would be a huge help!

Why would you use the '06/'07 leveler switch in your '05?

The '06/'07 isn't illuminated, so that in itself makes it subpar. The '05 leveler switch is much better. The entire circuitry is different too as I've checked the schematics between the two.
I no longer have the '06 schematics available to me.

You guys are talking about the adjustment knob/roller below right? If so, mine is illuminated, yours isn't?

I agree that the '05 leveler is better. I don't actually want to take it out. However, I'm putting heated seat switches in and that's the only slot the seat switch fits into. I could rig up some other kind of switch, but I want it to look stock.

The heated seat switch goes into that little punch out on the right. The 3 punchouts on the left are for IC sprayer, Head light leveler, and fog light switch.

Right. My '05 will look like this when it's done:



The problem I'm having though is that the wiring harness for the '05 leveler is different from the '06/07 models. In fact, there's six wires for the '05 leveler switch and only five for the newer models.

i just finished my front end swap from an 05 to a 06 and the leveler motor is completely different., the 05 motor has 6 wires while the 06 headlight motor only has 3. I was able to wire it up but the headlight lens doesnt move much to make a difference. On the 05 you can dramatically see the lights go up and down but with the 06 it doesnt. So im pretty sure the wiring is par, so if someone could post the 06 wiring diagram it would be great

Default Re: '06/'07 Headlamp leveler pinout

In Canada, the '05 STi was sold with heated seats, but no HIDs. I installed USDM HIDs on the car, but ran into the same problem with the wiring of the '05 leveler switch.

It is too small for the blank beside the I/C spray.

Has anyone figured out how to use the '06/'07 leveler switch on the '04/'05 STi?
