Default C5 headlight mod
Does anyone know if there is a kit out there somewhere that can make one of your headlights wink on a c5? Don't know when I would even use it but i thought it might be a cool idea.

whink?
seems like you could wire up a three position switch to the dash and just flip it up and then down to make the light raise and lower. wire common to power and then either ends to the drive conductors going to the motor.

You want to make your head light wink?
Are you serious? Thats about as lame as a fart can on a Vette, Sorry.
I have to agree with the rainbow above.
