Headlight problem ( sleepy eye O o ) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I searched the forum for this and i found a topic on this problem but no solving, so here i go :

today mounted my Pivot ( i got it for 30 $ ) and one of the motors i think it is slower and when the headlights go down the slowest one remains upper, how can i change this problem ? can i put a rezistence on the one that goes fast so i can slow it down or do i have to change the motors ? if i do that how do i now that the one that i will get is not slower or not matching the other ?

If u look closely u will see that the passenger side one goes faster

no, if you look closely in the movie you will see that one is faster than the other, and when they go down, the controller cut's the power in 1 ms for example and in that amount of time the faster one goes lower than the other and they stop like O o

Get new headlight motors?

mc mate · 05-17-2009, 05:35 AM

i think if i go at Nissan they will be very expensive, i will try with another headlight of a friend to see how it will go

you cant do squat about that. all of them will do that eventually. its just the motor getting old.

mc mate · 05-17-2009, 03:57 PM

i will try then another motor, maybe that will work out fine

flip3d · 05-17-2009, 04:16 PM

i have a set of motors for cheap if you want

mc mate · 05-17-2009, 04:19 PM

thanks , but i am from Europe, and i think the shipping will cost allot more than the actual motors
