Head lights not in sync

suprahhh · 05-21-2008, 05:30 PM

yeah, looks like something from a Herbie movie!! I tried pulling the fuse and then winding the headlight up and re-insert the fuse..but...when I turn the lights on, one stays up, the other goes down and I'm back to square one (doah!). I may have to replace the headlight motor...gotta quote of $450..ouch! Any other thoughts?

it's the connecting rod from the headlight to the headlight motor. It has a 14mm nut with washer, undo that and make sure it's not in the way of any moving parts. Turn your headlights on. Reconnect the rod in the up position and all should be fixed

Considering that she did a complete tear-down and rebuild of her fantastic Supra, I'd think she's just about covered it all.
