The Pivot headlight unit does not work like anticipated. What I mean by that is that the sleepy eyes function only apply on the closed position of the headlamps. So basically, what I am left with is open or sleepy eye, not closed or sleepy eye.

In the sleepy eye position, I could not open my lights without having the popups return to their original open position. So basically, I could not do anything I wanted...

Here is what I did:

I opened up the steering column and cut 1 blue wire off the light switch. Now, I can put my low beams whenever I feel like it. I can now open my lights in the sleepy eye mode. I can even get the popups to close when I close the lights while the ignition is on. To flip up the headlamps, I need to activate the headlamp switch twice (1 for open, 1 for sleepy eye). For the high-beams, I still need to find which wire I need to cut. Hopefully, this will be done soon...

theres no way you could like "reverse" the operation of the pivot? so instead of controling them when theyopen your controling them when they are closed... I dunno I just have this vision of since they are suppposed to let you control how far open they go when open.. something in there could be reversed to where when closed the controller sees them as open and you can open them to sleepy eye mode.. or maybe Im insane...
