But there is that gizmo on the inner lens of the burnt passenger with the more yellow amber. Looks like some kind of level and I've never seen anything like it.

Yep. It is a "Spirit Level". I was poking around the manual trying to figure out what a "disconnected" hose was i posted in another thread and i came upon this:



Interestingly, it says it was omitted at the beginning of the '98 model year.

Thanks, so this is a very old headlight I have. In addition to the inner lens being totally fried some of the wiring insulation is cracked and peeling too. I guess you'd have to have your car parked on a dead-nuts level surface for all 4 wheels with the proper wall to shine your lights on to get the aiming of the headlights properly set and the liquid level in the right spot!
