Pop up headlights
Hello, quick question for you guys. I have a 99 and would like to know how to keep the headlights up after I shut the car off. It is a Canadian car so I don't have the option in the DIC. (I don't think). I have searched but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance.

Not sure why you want the headlights up but here is what I have done for short periods of time while I clean the lens etc. Turn the end of the multi function switch until the lights come up and are illuminated. Turn the switch back one position until the lights go out. The head lamps stay up in that switch position. Not sure if anything else gets powered up so I might not leave the switch in that position for a long time........

Loosin the bolt on the positive battery terminal... Raise them and disconnect the battery as soon as you turn the car off. Or you can pop the hood and raise the headlights manually with the **** (takes 10 seconds)

Hello, thanks for the replies. In the "old days" with cars that had pop up headlights there was a "winter mode" you could put the lights in that would just keep the lights up all the time so that they wouldn't freeze shut with snow or freezing rain. The reason I am doing this is because both gears are gone in the headlights and they make an awful noise when they are closing, kind of embarrassing. I don't have time right now to do the gears, will be a winter project (as well a few other fixes)
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
