Prefacelift AHL to AFL

**Mari-rds** · 2nd January 2017, 00:58

Hello, I'm starting to retrofit my vectra c 2004.
It has factory xenon equipment and I want to upgrade to adaptive forward lightning .
My CIM has ESP and it already knows AHL/AFL equipment, my UEC also knows about it .

This is what I've came up so far :-)20170102_014910.jpg

I've noticed that the AFL's are powered directly from UEC and the AHL's are powered from the AHL control unit .
Now I'm waiting to find and buy the afl's headlamps :-)
After I'll get the afls I'll make a how to .

What do you think about this so far ?

The first problem I have is that my UEC doesn't have a slot for fuse FE 20 5Ah ignotion voltage in order to power the afl control module according to TIS . Will be using F19 along with the right headlamp power fuse .20170102_053306.jpg

Does anyone have for sale afl headlights ? @Woody ?

Put up a post in the "Wanted" section mate. I know you will only see your post unless you are a paid member... but AFAIK your post will still be visible.

Also check whether UK RHD AFL's will be suitable for a LHD Car

Nice job

Thanks. I have a little problem with the left side stepper motor, and at the moment the cornering lights does not work . But, I'll fix it this week .
Beside the picture from the first post, pins 8 and 9 from both ahl headlights needs to be cut out and point them to the ground. I haven't noticed that until today when I made the retrofit :-)

Well good luck for later this week mate

I was fortunate to have the combined skill and knowledge and willing help from @plasma @jon1.9cdti @paulhb and @happypostie to help get my conversion done

Mine also required an uprated CIM (last minute) though, BUT the CIM replacement also solved a long standing faulty Cruise Control when it was fitted

Well done on doing this pretty much on your own

Yeah, if I haven't got TIS and a little knowledge of electrical stuff I wouldn't got it done .
My car had AHL factory fitted, CIM with esp and I didn't had to change it. I didn't change the uec either .
I made a 40 km trip ( aprox 25miles) this evening and I had to say that these headlights with bixenon are amazing :-)

I currently have halogen headlights and have successfully added the two missing earth connections to the connector, allowing me to run the AFL lights. However, I need help with connecting the AFL control unit located on the side of the headlamp to enable the lights to move with the steering.

I have the xenon UEC and now just need assistance in getting the lights to move right and left with the steering, my CIM have the angle sensor and it's working.

Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
