drifter_for_life06 is always winking during the day.

Have you checked the motor that lifts/lowers the lights? Look for a replacement in here: zeroforum/43or your local junkyard.

check the relay and check the grounds before you go and buy parts.

you can always just take the caps off the motors and turn them down by hand....

This may be an insulting answer..but did you check to make sure you pressed the headlight up/down button on the dash..and not just turn the headlights off? I've seen people do that before.

Mine do the same thing, they motor up but just not down, if i crank them down and hit the button they motor up fine, let me know what you find if you do when t/s yours. im 100% sure is somthing electrical, ive swaped relays no luck .

I pressed the headlight button and nothing happens. The headlights work they just wont go up or down. Can anyone tell me which is the correct relay to check for this problem? Thanks.

i also have this problem, i just leave it up and get way more looks from the pedestrians lol!

but if i have to put it down i do it manually by turning the knob next to the headlights(GHETTO)
