Hey guys ive had my 33 for bout 3 years now and finally decided to query on this. On my center console next to the cup holder i have a switch wich says "light reduce". I have tried using it and nothing happens so no idea what it is linked to.

I do know there are wires running from it but to what i have no idea. Has anybody else got one of these? were they a factory option?

Car is a 97 series 2 GTST.

cheers guys

That switch you are talking about automatically turns off your headlights when you come to a stop. Apparently it is a courtesy thing in Japan for drivers to switch off their headlights when they come to a stop in traffic. May be fact or rumour but that is what I heard at least.

I have a '97 R33 S2 and also have that switch near the cup holder and it does exactly that; when I have my headlights on and have the light reduce switch on it automatically turns my headlights off when I come to a stop.

      Chrome surrounds back on and polished up, no idea why some knob would prime a single piece 🙄

      Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.

      The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
