I've got a manual but no scanner here at home. I could scan the fuse and relay box layouts for you tommorow at work.

There seam to be three relays for the lights though. One to raise the left, right and overall control. There are also individual fuses for the headlamp operation, left and right up/down and the illumination of dipped and main beam!

May be best just to scan it eh?!

It is not unknown for the pod motors to stick, so try operating the manual override first.

With the lights on, reach under the front valance inline with the light pod & you will feel the pod motor. Rotate the knob on the end of the motor & the pod will start to raise. If the pod was just stuck the motor will then operate if not you will then need to start checking the power supply.

Only takes about 30 seconds to check before rummaging around the fuse box/ wiring

If rotating the knob causes the pod to raise (then maybe lower again) the chances are the problem is in the switch block on the side of the motor. You need to remove the pod to get at the motor, but it's not too difficult. Cheers Steve.
