just so we can see how cool / strange / nerdy it looks???

Every time I’ve had an issue with my headlight motors, it’s been after I turned the car off with them up. I always lower mine before I turn off the ignition. I had one motor fail, but I’ve had each side stick several times after leaving them up. Usually self cures after a drive, and TBH I have no idea if it’s even related to leaving them up or not. Perhaps just coincidence.


I rarely drive at night, so I hardly ever use them. But I did last weekend and when I pulled under the lights in my carport I realized I hadn’t washed them in 3-4 years.

Need to remember to lift them next time I’m wiping him down.

Unless I hit a bump after I turn them off, I have them winking. One up, one down.
A very mild inconvenience....

Hmm, never since having lights up when the car is shut off leaves the parking lights on and drains the battery.

not so
headlights on / up when ignition on
switch to "parking lights"
Key off
parking lights off
headlights remain UP
no battery draw

Cool, learned something new today!

easy way to expose headlight buckets for cleaning also

I felt the peer pressure and did a quick ONR with the headlights up in my chiro’s parking garage last week. Good for another 4 years!

Sorry for my stupidity, but what does ONR mean?
