usually there is a **** on the headlight motor to manually raise/lower them but it makes your car look retarded IMO.

I don't know if this can work for FC's and FD's, but this is what I did for my SA. I got the info on the club, can't remember who posted it though. It only cost me a few bucks for the wire, connectors, and switch. And the best part is that it retains the original function of the headlight switch, so that my headlights still work properly.


Here is a pic of my SA with the mod done to it

I got sick of the look though, so I just leave the toggle switch on, and my headlights still work normally.

all i did was unplug the headlight motor and then manually adust them, no cutting wires or anyother bs, and if u want them to work normal and again just plug them in. the connector is pretty much right behind the head like its a circle connection thing haha

So people are actually helping this guy make his car look depressed? Seriously the car looks like it's suicidal.
