No worries. I don't have feathers.

Here's the deal. According to the Bentley Manual

The LWR system automatically adjust the vertical positioning of the headlights
to maintain optimum headlight beam positioning for maximum driving visibility
and to prevent undue glare for oncoming motorist. The system compensates
for vehicle load angle changes such as changes in fuel load during a long journey varying cargo weight, ect


The LWR (Headlight Vertical Aim control Module)
monitors the vehicles loaded angle via two hall effect level sensors mounted to the front and rear suspension members.
When an adjustment is necessary, LWR simultaneously activates two stepper motors, one in each headlight assembly.
The stepper motors drive a threaded rod that moves the lower edge of the headlight carrier plate forward and backward.
the upper edge of the carrier plate is fixed on a pivot. The pivoting movement adjust the vertical position of the headlight beam.

The question I have is after New headlight assemblies are installed
does the LWR module require coding? Are there fuses in the control module?

Do both levers affect the headlights or just one of them?
