is that thing to the left of the wheel a control for the headlights distance?

 

i think it is a dimmer for the dash lights

 

The only car I know of in the US with a distance switch is the STi. Pretty freaking cool too.

 

Well... it's compulsory in Europe (in Germany, at least), and I'm currently thinking about importing a GT in 2005 or 2006... if I have the money :P But lots of things need to be changed, from headlight distance switches over metric speedometers to thief protections... that's expensive. Canadian model would make sense, they have metric at least. But I have heard that you often can't get all extras on Canadian models, is that right?

 

No, anything you can get on the US, you can get on the canadian...at least in recent history.
We just don't have packages like 'deluxe/premium'

www.ford.ca
Build your vehicle to check it out.
There are individual option packages...like 'handling package on the v6' which is ABS and Traction control. but you can't get one over the other.
Its all or nuthin'.

 

sweeeet, thanks

 

yes that's the interior dimmer control...
