Default Silly Question Regarding Headlights
Hi All,

I have a silly question regarding the headlights.
When you flash the lights with them down what happens?

The reason for the silly question but when I flash the headlights the headlights flash but do not lift.

My car has been converted to UK spec which means my side lights are seperate, they are behind the mesh grilles and the main lights pop up as normal. Just curious to know what happens normally.

Thanks
Denis

The lights flash, but it's dayum tough to see 'em.

No, the lights will not pop-up.

Mine pop up when I flash high beams, but my lights are not stock any more. Actually it's kind of annoying because after you flash them they stay in the up position and you have to turn them on and off to get them to go back down.

It would be cool if they pop'd up when you flashed them then they would drop...

That would be so stupid looking...
I hate the C5 headlights in the up position anyway as they are ugly..popping them up and down to flash would be just ridiculous but I suppose some high school kids might think its cool to watch...

Thans for the info guys, my euro spec coupe used to flash the foglights when the headlights were down and flash the headlights when they were up.

I have only just got the Z06 so was unsure

Thanks
Denis

Yes. Turn them all the way on, then turn the **** back to the parking light position.
