I'd like to delete the manual opener on the headlights. Is this possible and still have them to work electrically? Thanks

I'm trying to figure out a logical reasoning for this. None found.

That wouldn't save anything. It's just a **** that turns the headlight motor manually.

I'd like to run a 90* ic coupler but the opener is in the way. I might have to lower my intercooler to get the 90* to work. Thanks.

it's just a ****, you can't remove the motor that it attaches to... so maybe about 1/2" more clearance.

No it's actually the whole shaft. I'm going to lower or just route the piping differently. I'll post some pics tomorow. In hindsight maybe such a big intercooler was a bad idea.
