Description:
|
Pontiac Firebirds have cool pop up headlights. They open when the headlights are turned on, and close when the headlights are turned off. There is no factory option to leave the headlights doors open and the headlights off.
This is a problem in winter weather. Heavy snow and ice can seal the headlamp doors, and chipping the ice away can damage the paint. The extra load of ice and snow can strain the gear box on the motor, shortening it's life.
This project adds a switch to open and close the headlight doors without the parking or headlights being on. This allows the door to be opened before the snow and ice comes, so later the lights can be put on without having to chip away at ice and snow.
01-10-2011 Update: This modification has been working very well. I use the feature often, especially at night when knowing that the car will be used again before daylight. It saves wear and tear on the door motors, and I don't have to worry about the lights freezing in the down position in winter. Very pleased with this modification.
