I just bought another 240 to add onto my "collection" of cars! It's a 91 white fastback. This is the first S13 i've owned...anyways its seems that one of the headlight won't pop open so it looks like it's winking. is this pretty common? Can someone help me diagnosis the problem!?

Its extremely common for flip-up lights to not flip up.... Ironic eh?

Motor is bad, wiring bad, fuse blown.... Check fuse - if ok then check to see if the motor is getting power. If there is power at the motor connection then replace motor.

it should be a relay, actually, in the fuse box under the hood.

If only one doesn't work, a motor probably went bad. Relay would make both stop working. The motor is the black round thing to the inside of where the headlights are.
