ok, so I have a problem with my driver side headlight. i have done the sleepy eye conversion. not by cutting the brown cable but by doing that 1 where you use a fuse so you can have the lights on while on sleepy eyes...my problem is that everytime I press on that button on the dashbord to adjust the sleepy eye level the driver side light is about an inch lower than the passanger side. it works great when I turn them all the way on or off but when I do sleppy eyes the driver side stays lower I have to manually pull up the headlight to align it with the pasanger side one.,not by turning the motor but by actually just pulling the light up...thnx in advance

Thats The Headlight Cutoff, Its So You Dont Blind Oncoming Cars When Driving. The Way to Even Them Out Is To Adjust The Little Bar On The Inside Part Of The Headlight. It's The Bar That Pushes The Light Up And Down. Adjust That.

DAMMITT!! ok so I saw what you were talking about so I adjusted the light but now the light wont come up or down at all. I turn on the light with the switch and it still wont come on neither.. I had to adjust the light to come up using the headlight motor screw..and it turns on that way..could I have messed it up when I took off the motor to adjust the screws using 2 10mm wrenchs?
