Winking headlights! (1990)
I remember seeing this covered on this board before, but for the life of me I can't find the right posting.
My headlights are taking turns opening up. Sometimes they will both open halfway and bob around lighting up the inside of my engine compartment. Sometimes the left one will open up correctly but the right one will only go halfway, and sometimes the right one will open all the way but the left will only open halfway. On rare occasions they will both correct themselves as I'm driving.
Does anyone remember how to diagnose and fix this?

Bummer!
So basically the nylon bushings in both headlights decided to take a nose dive at the same time huh?
I'll give Mid-America a call on Monday. Any pointers on changing those bushings will be welcomed.

Once you get the replacement bushings, use these instructions to install:
