82 Head Lights
Wow, last Saturday was great day here in KY. So good I took the cover off, put the battery in, cleaned the dust off, and took off for nice ride. It was great!!! As I was going through all the mechanics to ensure eveything was still working , I noticed that the head lights were acting funny. I don't drive it much at night so not sure if there is a problem, but want to check to be sure. When I turned the head lights on, there was a delay with them popping up. The right side light came up first, then the left. When I turnd them off, again a delayed reaction, the left went down, then the right side. Is this normal or are problems on the the horizon?

Are you lucky, we had 5 more inches of snow in Ann Arbor last night. I agree with the others about the headlights but you may want to replace the seals on the actuators, one may have a vacuum leak causing it to take more time to do its thing.
