My headlights won't go down on my T/A.

I don't know whats the deal??? At first only one headlight would work so I changed the motor on it. Ok....now both are working. Then all of a sudden one day coming home i turned my lights off and they both stayed up. I thought it was the switch so I changed that too.....but that wasn't it. I checked the fuses and that wasn't it either. Someone help.

Should have bought a Camaro. And you get more lights too.

Sometimes the light switch tends to stick... try pressing it harder.
Ohh BTW... Ignore the "you shoulda got a Camaro" comment.

I just fixed the lights in my car by bypassing the isolator relay, and hooking up up and down buttons in the console. I'm not too inclined to type out the instructions if you've already fixed them, so e-mail me if you want to know how to hook them up because it took me quite a while to figure it out - relays can be confusing. The fix is actually quite simple though.

Mine was the headlight modulator.
