start with grounds.. i started 914 tinkering just recently, this forum preaches a ground cleaning philosophy that borders on religion, dialectric grease and never seize are going to become your best friends... cleaning grounds and greasing bulbs and connections woke up my fog lights, all my bezel bulbs, interior light, seatbelt buzzer and light, door switches, trunk light.. it was amazing.. took days, but worth it...
My headlight right now are in a constant up position.. i fiddled with adjustment for half a day, getting the lights to open max then close tight.. i quickly realized this is like adjusting hoods, 8 bolts that all adjust.. its like infinite combinations...
I gave up. the will open fully, but not return fully, about 1/4 inch... took the relays out and run heads up... now my drivers side likes to screech when it goes into a raised position..
oh bother.
sounds like your not lighned up properly on the stop bolts vs. u-tab.. it is hard to see but easy to hear. you made need to have someone engage your headlights a few times so you can see where it is getting hung up. These u-tap and stop bolt sometimes can nick on the way down and up.. that fact it is screeching is contact, the contact between and during mechanicnal operation is an interference into operation the greater contact can even halt the operation..
