Default headlight problem, PLEEEEASE HELP

oooooooook, so im sure i will get some heat for this, but right now i dont have time to care. my headlight is being very "lame". i will explain the whole situation.

most of the time, the passenger headlight will only open so far and just stop. you can lift it maybe 1-2 more inches, but not to the fully open position. when a second person is available, you can lift on it and turn the headlights on and if, AND ONLY IF, you maintain pressure on it, it will fully open. same is said for the "closed" position. without continues pressure, it will "lock out". WITH continues pressure, it will fully seat.


any info on this would be great, i have a few days off soon and can do some work.

you do realize that there are 51 pages on that thread right? thats the kind of thing that takes way too much time to read.

i would really like someone who stumbles across this to just do the right thing and help someone out rather than redirect.
