    this should be added to the FAQs.

    over time the wires will break at the point where they hinge from the retractable headlights. go to the auto parts store and buy a socket for a 2 headlight system and it will have like a foot of wire on the end. take the light out and stick your hand in there and cut the wires and splice in the new socket. make sure you cut it after the point where the wires hinge.

    i forget i did mime a few years ago. it's cheap though, it shouldn't be more than a few bucks. it's just a plastic socket with some wire on it.
