Was there some a case of some kind of clever headlights that dim themselver according to how bright it is outside? My machanic is saying there are selenoids in my headlights. They are 1990 uk spec ones

Self dimming headlights, the 300zx are headlights are poor enough without dimming them, never seen or heard of that.

Those are level actuators as fitted to some European models, not dimming.

I know, that's why I posted the link.

I'm surprised you haven't seen them Jeff, UK spec cars have a low wattage circuit when the engine is running as DTRL, my old UK car had this function and this circuit can sometimes cause problems with HID kits.

No your talking about half power dim dip which some UK cars had, the op was talking about solenoid operated dimming utilising light sensors.

Sorry for the confusion. There probably are no solenoids and sensors lol. I have no ways of checking as the car is 2 timezones away. Thanks for your help guys its a lot more clear now
