so my headlights have been stuck up since december, not sure if its the motors or relays... or headlight switch (which i broke :(). at first i hated the way they looked because they were up all the time. but not until recently i started liking them up... but it goes back and forth, one day i like them, one day i hate them. what do you guys think?

I would replace the swich, it is most likely the cause of your problems if you say you broke it. The headlights wont work properly without it. I tried my lights once when I had my dash cluster out and they didnt work till I plugged the swich in.

looks nicest down all the way. I know there are some that like the sleepy look (partially open). But to most ordinary folks, if you keep them all the way open or partially open, they'll assume you have a defect.

I agree with whiterps13, lights down. LOL, I went so far as to install some bright auxillary lights in the Canadian DRL spots (right below turn signals on the kouki nose) so I could cruise at dusk without popping them up.

Still, at night, the lights up have a clean look to them... Hell, I love everything about the car, lights up or down... probably why I paid out the bum for it!
