there should be some sort of mechanism close to the headlight motor that you can manually crank it open.

gurus correct me if i'm wrong

Underneith the car straight under the headlight is a small **** you can rotate. It will manually crank the headlight up or down.

You don't need a lift, man. Just reach under the front bumper. You can't miss it.

You can always just pull the headlight up.

Yea, don't do that. That's why things like flip up headlights come with MANUAL adjustments so morons don't brute force them and break ****.

The **** is white..... FYI.. just poke your head underneath... Its hard to miss. Turn it and your headlight will go up and down... pretty simple. Love the word "nooblet" hehe.

Once it is cranked up, turn the switch so the working one is up too and pull the fuse for the headlight motors so they both stay up.
