my pop up headlights now will not go down, i can start to use the adjustment screws to go down but then the motor kick in and they go back up. I have them unplugged now with the lazy eye look but i dont know how the cops are going to like this. I did search and didnt come up with anything. Could someone please help on how to fix them

did you accidently hit the button on the dash to have them stay up? If this is the case, the motor will run if you try to use the thumb screw. Otherwise, you might have a bad switch or relay that is stuck on (or closed if a relay)...sorry I can't offer more...

Ooops. hehe. nah, dont feel like that. I use the stalk on mine all the time. My dash switch is broken so I really dont have to worry about. In your defense, I think its confusing to have two switches that could raise/lower your lights. You get used to one way and forget about the other.

i thought that dash switch was there soo u can keep them in the up position during the winter time... so they would be ready to shine when it's frozen out there <shrugs>
