    The "Wink"

    Okay, the other day i was playing with my flip ups and noticed that one motor can be slightly slower, and at one point i got one light to open up and the other to stay down, does any know how you could wire it up to flip just one light up while they are off, or seperately wire them so you can control both lights individually

    the wink is awsome and i want to know how to manipulate it
    :super:
    can i loan you some mileage, i got enough to go around

    it was me! Mwahahaha!

    What i did is wired one of the motors through the foglight switch (Any On/Off switch will work). Then, you can turn that switch off, flip up the lights, but since only 1 motor is getting current only that one will flip up (or down depending on the previous position). then turn the on/off switch ON and the other headlight will flip.

    Make any sense?

    i know you can hit the little power butten beside the steering wheel kinda soft and get the lights to blink. it sounds like 1989se-i's idea would work, but wouldn't it be easier just to unhook the wire (thats already there)from one of them that goes to that butten, so when you push it only that one goes up?

    Only 1 set of wires hooks up to that switch (3 total i think) and they split somewhere in the engine bay, and goto their sperate motors or sumthin. I was do that, but i couldnt find the wires

    I'm pretty sure the wires run over the fender well on the drivers side and from the fuse box on the passenger side... not sure what the color is.

    And if you can make your car into a pididle anytime you wanted, think of how many sex credits that would be. Have your chick in the passenger seat and hit the button and get sex. Great idea!!!

    Or you could just take a baseball bat to the body right above the left/right turn signal. Just one little dent and the motor gets kaputt. Like mine :-(

    I know this is an old ass thread.............but has anyone actually completed this.......I was thinking of giving it a shot..........putting in a switch for each light.....and somehow leaving it connected to the regular light switch.....so that the 2 new switches only control the motor and not the lights...............any more input?
