Title: Lights going up but not down
Post by: rx7ben on July 04, 2009, 11:27:59 AM
Turned my lights on last night on the way home and thay popped up as normall but when i got home and turned the lights off thay wouldnt go down. I tryed that button aswell but thats not doing anything so i thought i"ll leave for tonight. When i woke up in the morning thay had magicly gone down on there own. So i pushed that button thing and thay popped up. Then guess what, thay wont go down again so i dropped them down manually then turned in the lights and thay pooped up. But yet again thay wont go down. So in a nutshell there go up but not down.
 
Anybody got any idears.
 
thanks

hi mate same with mine a little while back, what it was with mine is that the joint that makes it go up n down had gone try so i just sprayed some wd40 on it made it go up n down a few times by pushing on it when they are up to make it go down and it just keep sparying till it lubricates itself again.

I had this, too. the sidelight bulb holder was catching the headlight surround as it tried to pop up, and jamming it, so they just go straight back down. Bizarre! I know that\'s the oppostie way round to the problem in the OP, but it could be the cause?
