Okay I've searched around for the problem I'm having but all i come across is help threads and links on how to fix broken or stuck pop ups, but thats not exactly my problem so on to my problem.... On my 93 s13 coupe, when i lower the pop ups to get sleepy eyes they go down uneven, the right side is higher by about an inch,(they both go up and down all the way) is there a way to calibrate them some how? cause its only uneven when i make them sleepy :-/

Any help is appreciated :')

You can spin the motor to move it manually, however it will reset next time they go up/down.

heres wat it looks like when i make it sleepy, untouched. i dont think its the linkages cuz when they go up and down fully they still have the same amount of clearance/position. i think its the timing?

If you do this won't the headlights be uneven when you need light?

just adjust the screws attached to the motors, the right one up and left one down. but be careful cuz it will spin around on you and pinch the shit out of your fingers if their in there it took me 30 minutes on mine per head light but i finally got it down

There's many things u can try. Like he said ^ the motors also have adjusting nobs on top . And u can try adjusting the light housings themselves


*one motor might also be slower than the other so u might try replacing those as a last option

Cool :)

its extremely easy just pop out the popup switch and cut the *brown wire* leave enough wire to attach a male and female connector, if u want regular popup switch you plug them together and when u dont, unplug the ends and wrap in electrical tape :)
