If you what it functional, you need to purchase the ~$140 control and hoses/slave cylinders.

It is hydraulic and the master control feeds two slave cylinders at the low beam headlight. It only lowers the headlights a few degrees (enough to compensate for driver and fully loaded trunk) and is of limited use. I would recommend replacing the slave cylinders with the adjusting hardware which is not hard. Putting in the new system would require major work getting the end through the firewall and making this weather tight.

Put your VIN into: Max's site, and look up the parts for either of these options in the lighting section.
