Hey, ive looked in my Hayes book and watnot but i cnat find wtf these 2 things are. In the front of my car under hte hood there are 2 litttle black things with rubber caps. Under hte caps is a **** that can be turned, WTF is it and wats it do

 

those are the motors for lifting/lowering your headlights. pop your hood with the rubber caps off and turn on your headlights..

 

I dont think ill do that, with my luck a sensor wont work and ill break soemthing

 

if your headlight(s) ever get stuck you can use them to manually move it up or down

 

lol don't worry jim....no sensors there...you'll be ok

 

If you mess with them they can become out of sync with one another. I've actually gotten a shock a few times when I manually raised the headlights on my Probe GT.

 

If you try to turn the ***** too far they will turn back automatically to their farthest setting. Kinda freaked me out the first time it happened. I was adjusting the light down since it didn't quite mount flush, and I went a down a little too far. The **** spun back the other way a couple turns, but the headlight was in the right place

 

yeah, the first time freaked me out. i figured, cool i'll raise one and not the other, then it happened. wasn't exspecting it to move on it's own.

 

You are supposed to unplug the motors before you use the *****. That or remove a certain fuse, or something... It's in the owner's manual. But for sure, you have to disconnect something before you use the manual control.

 

Yea still freaks me out after all these years!.

 

my damn headlights were perfect up to about 2 weeks ago, now theres some sort of metal 0n metal noise coming from the right one. not too bad, but enough to **** me off.

 

yea peejay is right, they shouldn't have power going to them when you turn the ****. I messed the lights on my TA up by doing that.

 

You can hurt yourself messing around with them without turning off the juice first...
