Hi all,
I just picked up a '98 Formula from another member on this board, and am very happy with the car. I do have one gripe though, and I assume it is a common one. I did try to search but no matter what terms I used I kept coming up empty handed. My headlights pop up when I turn the switch to the parking light position. The headlights do not turn on, they simply rise from the resting position. Is there any way to fix this??
Thanks,
Nick

Luna - Happens both ways. The headlights pop up as soon as the switch is turned to the parking light position.
Jersey - The passenger's side is making the grinding noise when they go down, I plan on doing the 180* gear swap this weekend to alleviate that. Do you think that could be part of the problem?
Thanks for the quick replies, Hopefully I will be spending more time around here, and learning more as I go along.

I dont know about the LS1 bird headlights, but when the passenger side gear went out on my LT1 TA it was giving me all sorts of problems, when I would unlock the car, the headlights would pop up, when I would turn on the foglights they would pop up, so it might be the gear thats causing all your grief, get a brass gear and be done with it, probably the best thing I ever did for the car
