Anyone seen this before?
Cool little video of someone testing the adjustment motors on thier RS2's inside the house. Hopefully I'll have this feature up and running soon. Just got the harness and switch in the mail today! That was fast.<ul><li><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1136127480268647038">Beam adjustment</a></li></ul>

yup, that's mine.
motors were 2 diff part numbers and as such 2 diff speeds.
also did not have proper "ball" connection for RS2 lights so they had a bit of a jiggle when I hit bumps..not good on a cold winter for plastic parts...I have since removed them.

Ah
Just wondering, why did you make three switches? Why not wire up the stock switch?
I have 80% of the stock harness from an RS2. It doesn't go all the way to the switch. Four wires go to a harness and two others go to a seperate harness. Your diagram leads me to believe the two are for the - and the four are for the +. How do I wire up the rest of it to the stock Audi switch?
TIA

Re: Ah
well my stock switch was DOA so I had to wire my own.
I made 3 switches as it was a work in progress and I was learning, the first 2, as you can tell by looks, were not for the car and were just to figure out how the system worked.
There are 3 "pins" on the motors. 1 is a ground and the other 2 are power. when power is sent to 1 of the power pins the motor goes one way, when power is sent to both power pins, the motor goes the other way.

I see.
From what I've seen, the switches are easy to find. Check ebay.co.uk for the switch.
I found S90RTRRO's wiring diagram for the switch pinouts for illumination, etc.
Thanks

Switches are easy to find..I have a b3 switch available, but depending on what year your car is...
...and how much you care about the illumination matching what you have, there are options.
If you have a early '94 and prior, a b3 switch should match pretty good. If you have a late '94 or '95, I recommend getting an adjuster switch from a b5 and one from a b3. Use the b5 switch, and just place the b3 plate on top. This will let you match the darker red illumination and keep the original b3/b4 switch plate look...
<img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z277/s90rtrro/audi310.jpg">
I'm holding the b5 switch, and to the left is the b3 switch (mounted)...
The b5 is smoother and doesn't have as much of the "dot matrix", but it does have better and brighter illumination.
Key note: A b5 switch cover will not fit on a b3 switch. But it does the other way...
