There's a method to pulling out the fuse and turning the ****?

I have a switch wired to the headlight motors so I can turn on my lights without my lights coming up to make use of the FTP's, and if I time it right i can make it sleepy, but I don't know if you want to do that.

Cut/weld the linkages from the headlight to the headlight motor arm and the motor arm itself.

I think that's what i'll do.

Take benadryl. Freakin bug bites are driving me insane and i can't sleep. I'm excited because i get to drive my baby soon!



On that note, bash them to desired height with a hammer. Seems to do the trick!

Pull the damn fuse out. Sleepy looks retarded. Half open looks cool though. Barely open doesn't work because our headlight covers dont curve downwards. It just looks wrong that way.

Are you talking about the short rod listed on this page?

http://www.mazdatrix.com/n-6.htm

If so, that's part of the stock system. Each headlight uses two long rods, one medium rod and one short rod. It may be possible to swap in mediums in place of the long rods, but I've never played around with it as I think it looks stupid.
