Default Raptor Headlight Switch

Was looking on eBay and ran across this switch from a Raptor. Now don't flame me too bad, but I have never been in a Raptor. I looked over the owners manual and couldn't find all the functions of how this switch works. Can someone point me in the correct direction? TIA

Low beam height adjustment, can be done on the fly from the switch.

Directional or brightness?

What about cargo lights? I don't see that function indicated.

I got to looking around a little more. I’m not sure this is actually from a Raptor. I did find it in the Ford Focus MK 3 and 4. I’m thinking this is a switch for European cars. I was just going off the eBay listing.

I’m still unclear how the 1,2,3,4 works in the switch.

Pressing the button in the center of the rotary switch cycles through five beam height adjustments.

Direction. Similar switches have been standard on Mitsubishi vehicles with HID’s for years.

it adjusts the “aim” of the headlights, but only in the up/down direction. This is to adjust for if you hook up a trailer or haul a lot of junk and the rear sags. This will force your lights to aim upwards, so you can compensate and aim them back down on the fly from the switch.
