I put a motor control module together that allows me to adjust the height of the lights in my ex-halogen retro-fitted xenon X5 via the stepper motors.

the xenon lights should have native motors already as part of the housing, as evidenced by the presense of the plug - if there were no motors, there would have been a blank plastic cover/plug. The US halogens do not have the adjuster stepper motors, the Euro manufacturers do not trust the driving knowledge of the US consumer - an average driver barely knows how to turn the turn signals on!!!!!:nanana:
your info is very useful, you say that is possible to use the stepper motors in either setup, automatic or manual... did i understand you correctly?
