Hey guys, yet another problem ... I've had a clearance problem for the headlights for quite a while - just never got around to fixing it. Around the right headlight there is not enough room for it to come up at all the way, i thing i may need to flie and paint unless there is an adjustment somehwere. The left, the fiberglass came off of the little support running in front of the hood, I believe there is an apoxy that hold it there nice and tight.
The only thing it is a problem for, are turning on the headlights, they need help coming up and they scrape a bit when flipping up. So to temporarily solve that, I would turn them on, help them up, then use the little over-ride switch under the dash to keep them up - then when I'm dne driving it for a couple of days, just turn the over-ride off and let them down. Well I was taking advantage of the unusually warm January weather we had out here - driving it over a couple of days. Then I saw that there is snow coming ... Went to flip the lights down, no go. Tried it about 5 times, got agrivated and walked away. Then came back and tried to troubleshoot it. With the over-ride off, and I turn the lights on and off - nothing, so I turned them off and wiggles one headlight - not even a budge?
So What could cause them to stay up - did I mess up the vacuum actuators by doing this and now they're mad at me (broken)? Or could it be something else I'm not seeing. And is there a position adjustment for the headlights, or just a beam adjustment?
Thanks guys and gals, Kevin
