Yeah a lot of people try pulling the retractor fuse while they catch the headlights halfway in the middle of going up/down.

There have been many other threads covering this topic in far greater detail. I suggest searching for something like "lazy eyes".

I don't see any advantage to this "mod" as it only decreases visibility while driving at night.

go on ebay and buy a "pivot" headlight controller for 70 bucks. Yeah the other bootleg **** ways are free, but this mod can be done in 30 min, comes with directions, and when you turn your headlights on they open as mazda intended. In the off position ONLY is when they are down syndromy.

Yeah or you could do HID, or do it to where you can make them do shut, half, or all the way open

Get a switch from radio shack/autozone, go under ur dash and find the red wire wit a blue stripe and splice the switch into there. After u do that then all you gotta do is flip the switch to get the headlights to go up. They still go down when you turn the lights off/turn the headlight cleaner thing off.
