I see the other threads about the GT Headlights Kits, but while thinking of hooking one up myself, I had a thought:

If we are running a cable to each light, why cant we just use the cable to pull the light up instead of the gas strut.
I found struts at mcmaster-carr, but they are pricey ~$50 ea.

So I was wondering why we cant just have the pull cable lift the light, and some sort of latch that holds them there.

To lower them, you would have to open the trunk to lift the latches, but even the other kit required you to push them down manually.

This would even be lighter.

Thoughts?

I just want to remove the headlight motors to reduce weight, but still be possible to be street legal.
