i have a couple of problems.... when i initiate a drift/hard grip to the left my headlights pop up and come on

also, i can't get my brights to turn off. i was sliding one night and had the brights on and broke the damn lever.

i tried another assembly but that still did nothing




p.s. my car fails mechanically/electronically

just disconnect it by unplugging it, it just dangles behind the light kind of and takes a second you could do that for the time being i guess till u fix it.

have you tried using a hammer?


hvguy says it is a relay stuck. I still think the hammer will repair your troubles.

it is mechanically sound... they go up and down and turn on/off

the problem, if yall would read, is they stay on the brights all the time. so no low beams

maybe your headlight potentiometer could be the culprit. i've got an extra one. call me.

brights still won't turn off but i figured out, at least i think, the random on/off issue

the harness i believe is rubbing where it goes through the firewall....

lol, do this, grab some 5/16 hose, cut it to length that would make the size of the firewall hole, then split the hose down the middle and voila! you've got a easy to install firewall grommet!
