Manual headlight crank...

I want to put my headlights up half-way. I know about the manual crank but mine only looks to have one, on the passenger side. The other side doesn't look the same. Anyhow...I cranked it but it will uncrank itself so it doesn't go anywhere, like its fightin me. I know you have to pull some fuse, which one? Do you have to pull it first? Thanks.

you need to pull the headlight retractor fuse in the fuse box on the driver side of the car in the engine bay. you can fight it all night, but when u get so high it will shoot itself back down again.

You have to pull the fuse that is inside the engine bay first. It is the retractor fuse. It is the last one, and is labled. Then crank the little *** to where you want them. Make sure and measure. Then unplug the motors for the lights. It is a little plug that you can trace the wires. Finally plug back in the fuse. If you don't like the look just plug back in the motors. There are a couple ways to do it. I do a mixture of them.

Alright I took the fuse out & got the one to go up. The drivers side one has some like plug looking thing over the crank & when I took it off there was no crank? Whats up with that? Also how do I unplug the motors & why? I mean as long as I have the retractor fuse out they won't move right? Thanks again.
