I've got the one eyed wink going on. I've seen some cars with the mentally challenged look, one eye higher than the other

As of now? Yes. They are soon to be replaced with my newly acquired East Bear Headlight Kit.

Mine are jacked up. My driver side will go down, but not up. When I disconnect the bar from the motor, the motor will swing up and down as it is supposed to, but when I hook it to the lamp bucket, it's almost like it can't lift the weight.... I'm not sure why.. I posted about it a while ago, and people said check wiring... I did. Looks fine.

It happened when I was fooling with my brake cooling ducts. The ones that direct air from the front bumper to the brakes... I was straightening it out some (it's hard when the car was in an accident before and isn't perfect anymore) and I unhooked the bar to the motor so that I could get access to this bolt, and when I reconnected it, I had it backwards. One went up, one went down. So I switched them, and the problem started.

I'm not sure, but I think I might have wound the manual dial too far one way, but I'm not sure which way! so how could I know?! I've tried going the opposite a few turns, but no success. So that's where I stand. I just plan to leave them in the up position at all times until I solve it. Sucks. any other suggestions or ideas for a cure? i'm about to replace the damn motor itself.

Mine are sleepy, because my drivers side headlight flips up and down, non stop. So i put new fuses/large things that connect to motor... and put new headlight motors in )lots of $$$( from Mazdatrix. and one still flips, i checked the wireing and everything... Can the motorts be reset? or when turning the manual dial can you go too far making it go up and down?


Thanks guys, Markus

East bear kit does not modify the front bumper at all...that makes the 90mm lights stick up above the hoodline about an inch and a half or so. Froggy eyes.

RE and East Bear are NOT the same...

Passenger one works great. Drivers one doesn't ever since something got lodged in there while turning off the headlights but it still goes down, just not all the way up
