Chevy Alero

i guess we're gonna have to wait for ronin to tell us. It be great if Ronin can get an engine bay shoot by the headlights. It might just be a motor with a hex screw attached on the shaft. Then it rotates it left (up) right (down).

I thought it was the Chevy Alero over there. How come I see Olds. Rocket emblems on all of these cars?

Most cars have the Olds symbol, mostly till the year 2002. After that they became Chevy's.

I wonder if his alero has the EU required back fog lights as well. I know that we "US" Alero's dont. They are the bright red lights that come on in the back.

It's only a marketing technique because in EU most people don't know Oldsmobile. When you say to anyone Oldsmobile he'll look unknowing but when Chey you hear "wow, cool". So many dealers changed the emblems on exterior.

hi there, sorry for letting you wait.

as you canread in the manual i translated to english, this buttons are for re-aiming the headlights for towing and different loading situations. it sounds like there is a little electric motor attached to the headlights - i can find out more if you want. it can change the angle from sharpest to lowest in ~1sec.

yes mave ure absolutely right - it is a marketing strategy to call her chevrolet since oldsmobile is nearly unknown here and chevrolet has been a " WEEEE! " - reaction-brand here. (until they started naming korean cars chev as well)

for the real foglights: its the left swich beneath the angle jog dial. there are some kinda super bright bulbs in the inner rear light cases on the trunk.

ah the license plate holder....
european standard plates do not fit into the holder of the alero very well, so they decided to attach a black adapter mount which places the plate a little bit deeper. as crolero said, its really ugly, so i decided to apply for a special license plate which is 2cm smaller so it fits now w/o the adapter mount.

i hope i got all now

i want one of those headlight adjusters now...

[rowdygls]

same here. little euro conversion project

[ptrudel]

i wonder if we'd have to have it shipped from where ronin is or if its available in north america

[rowdygls]

im not sure...im thinking that we may have to have that pod and the motor assembly shipped over. or walk into a dealership and ask them for some euro parts lol


oh yeah...ronin you're a tease. you come on, give some info out and disappear til the next day. we have questions and we need answers. j/p thanks for the info

i wonder if theres a part number for it at the german dealers. There should be....:hide:

btw, looks like me and Ronin guessed right, Mav's got a black alero. Its great that no one's got the same color.
Mav, car looks great and clean. Just get the Olds emblems on the front and your good too go.

oh yeah...ronin you're a tease. you come on, give some info out and disappear til the next day. we have questions and we need answers
