Super easy way to do this, is to just unplug one headlight motor, and toggle the switch when you see em...

But at nite, id plug the motor back in...

If you wanted a more permanement solution, just cut the power tot he headlight motor, use a relay and a switch.

yeah my other series one winked but not by my choice. Must have been a loose connection somewhere. If I had the lights on while driving and go over a bump the passenger light went down and back up again.

it looked like the guy had it like that on porpose. He fliped them on when we passed on the road going opposite directions.

If you could run that through a different switch and have your normal switch work as well that would be cool as hell.

If I flip mine up and down real quick twice, on the second time the left will go up, then the right, then left goes down, then right. Kinda like a wave at a football game or somethin, it's cool

I had it set up with two togggle switches that could control them independently. It works normally with the toggles in the off position.

u could use the switch and wire it up to a diode to that! So it does get power to the headlight motor! and not the other! if u want to know how, pm me an i will tell u how!
