Default Headlight Mod

I have heard that there is a mod out there for ta owners that allows us to raise and lower our headlights whenerve we want. As of right now to lower my headlights I have to turn the car off and open the door. That is kinda of hard while driving. Please help and let me know how to do it. Thanks.

Even if it is FUBAR'd.... There is a manual bypass switch to raise and lower your lights. Check your manual and you'll see how to do it.

There is a little rubber covered dial towards the inside of the light that you turn to either raise or lower the lights.

Good luck.

I put the mod in that keeps the fog lights on when you turn the brights on, put I have somewhat removed it. I can't remeber if it is still connected, or what it is connected to. Could this be causing the headlights to not go up and down?

Are you in Canada? I think in Canada, the Firedirds have auto headlights like the Camaro. If so, then maybe the sensor is messed up.

If you messed with the wires and dont know what you did, then thats a good place to look first.
