    Default Question about a 87 Celica

    I recently bought a 1987 Toyota Celica GT. The person I bought it from said the motors for the flip up headlights dont work and he adjusted them to just say open, after unplugging them. While fiddling around and working on the car a lil today. I decided to plug them up and see what was going on with them. Turns out the motors work. The problem is when I turn them on, the left one flips up and the right one goes down. And when I turn them off, the right one goes down and the left one opens. Anyone have any idea why my lights are confused? Thanks.

    Tried that. It will just open and close again. Then, start doing the same thing. lol. Its so goofy. I have never seen flip ups do that before.

    The motors for the headlights to flip up ave an adjustment knob or crew look for that. Then adjust both till they are closed the flip the switch for the headlights if still off adjust again.
