Self levelling Xenons do not have that dial in Europe hence 'self levelling'

They do however have both fog light switches. the fog light bulb holders are only a couple of dollars so you could wire in the fogs fairly easy.

The new cars also have the auto headlights setting on the main light dial (turned left past '0')

Let me know if you want a picture posted.

If you have the dial with 1-4 on the right , thats how the lights level, if not then they must self level. Mine make like a buzzing sound and move a little when you switch them on - I have auto leveling.

The auto lights is a bit more complicated and yes the sensor is behind the mirror and the wiring is pretty complex looking at the diagram.

Question: If you have auto-leveling Xenons (as I have) can the switch be used to override the auto-level? I think it would be quite handy to "raise" my headlights up for high speed driving, without resorting to my "high" beams... Is this switch plug and play (say for the rear fogs (I realize we don't have bulb holders and they would have to be added)) or would that require additional wiring to be run?
