Just a quick dumb question--for some reason I was overly excited to watch my headlamps pop up and down when I hooked the battery back up to my "left for dead" '73 914. I'm tickled that they worked! (I've never had a car with pop-up headlamps before!)
Anyway, I've got a trim piece that needs to go on, and I'm assuming I just pull the relay once they're in the "up" position to keep them up? Is there something else that I can do? Also, what is the best way to clean contacts, spruce up wiring, etc? My tailights are a disaster right now and I need to fix 'em. Thanks, Kris |

if you pull the wires at the motor with the battery hooked you may break or stress those wires or get a surge reconecting them and maybe fry 30 yr old wire adding more problems...just disconect the battery dont be lazy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
