Well here's the deal. The left headlight is up and the right is down when the lights are turned on. When I turn the headlights off the left one goes down and the right one goes up. What do I need to do to get them both in the same position. The pop up switch isn't cut, the right low beam and high beam also don't work. Does anyone have any suggestions. They were working on my ride home and now their not. Thanks guys!

Try to adjust the motors with a screwdriver.

I've tried adjusting the motors to no avail. They fight with me as I try and adjust them and if I disconnect them and adjust them, when I plug them back in, they go right back into the one up, one down position.

This happened to my coupe

What i did.

put key in ignition. turn to on postion (dont start....can if you want)(or just skip this step)press the flip up button. take the cover off the manuel knob and turn. till both are the same. press the flip up button once or twice.

if still doing it. press the flip up button. disconnect battery and try^^. then plug the battery back in. it should be pretty straight forward and easy to fix.

Or you have a wiring problem

Starting to think there's a short or bad ground somewhere...
