I'm surprised you were able to get out the store with that big "SUCKER" sign affixed to your back. "

he said he did it himself, (or at least implied that)
he also said that it isn't right
then, he tried to cover his ass by saying that he didn't make a mistake
last time I checked, it doesn't work that way
If you start a project, and it doesn't end up the way it was supposed to, then you did it wrong.
If I tear down a motor to replace the head gasket and when I start the motor up, it pours water out of the head, then I fucked up putting a head gasket on. period.
to the OP, if it is possible, post up pics of what you mean by "off"
also, tell us the process that you did to get the sleepy eyes, you might not know it, but there about a dozen ways to do it.
then, and only then, can be offer any real help.
until then, enjoy get pointless and even the flaming posts...
i can has 30r plz?

there are not really dozens of ways...
i can think of three...and one being the most simple...cutting the brown wire...
to the OP, yes please take a pic of the uneven lights...im assuming you mean one is slightly higher than the other? if so, the arms that "roll" around to pop the lights up and down are uneven and you need to take a 10mm (i think) and unscrew the two nuts (upper and lower) on each side to even them out.

Adjust the rod that props the headlights up. My lights were also uneven and this fixed the problem.
The best way to go about this is to use a flat screwdriver to *carefully* pop off the plastic pivot point on both the motor arm and the headlight assembly. Do this to both sides so that you can make them both the same length.
Another cause is that your turn signal lever might be on its way out. The headlights are on two different circuits contained within the switch itself. Usually, when the switch itself is going bad, one of the lights will go out, operate more slowly than the other or the high beam goes out.
Try the latter first to diagnose the issue and then try the rod length. Hope that helps you out.

yeah i meant the headlights are uneven lol. yeah i wired it right and everything lol. its like the motor on one is slower than the other for some reason. they were like that before i messed with the switch. yeah i can change the position but that dont slove anything. because one is slower going down than the other..
