Default Head light problem
We have a problem with the left head light flipping open. We have to open it manualy when turned on but, will flip down normally when turned off. This is on an 84 coupe. Any ideas?

Needs some work on my 94 just needed the pucks but yours is a bit differant. Look on you tube to see how. I would try just opening your hood then turn them on till you fix it. It worked on mine.

Default Headlight Problem
Thanks everyone for your input. I followed the recommendations and found that I had a bad Actuator Relay. Replaced it and now the light goes up and down as designed.
