I'm assuming looks. Though the front left can be a good place to increase air flow to the intake.

Anyway,

I think there are three things working against you there. First, that's a really long run to get something to go that won't just turn and turn at one end, twist, and do nothing on the other end. Second, those knobs spin super fast when you flip the headlight switch to actually use your headlights, that might pose an issue unless you can disengage the cable. And third, it will be expensive.

Due to issues stated above, I wouldn't go mechanical all the way, I would run wires up there and put little motors that engage/disengage each time I wanted to adjust he height of the headlights. It would maintain oem functions, allow on the fly adjustments, and be kind of standalone from the factory wiring crap. But again, would you pay $400 for a kit like that when all you have to really do is pop your hood and spin a knob by hand?

P.s. anybody ever get a close look at those remote bottle openers for nitrous tanks? That may be a good place to start.

Or better yet, what if we just found a way to make a better controller for the factory headlights? That may be the cheapest/easiest.
