In what, the AW? Flick them on, then flick them off and quickly on to the first setting when they are at desired height. Well that's how you do it on the SW anyway.

you can do it that way, but it leaves the park lights on...

(suppose you could remove the bulbs)

You can do that switch thing. It worked on my AW11. They can also be manually wound up from behind the light.

Although, half open pop up lights are gay in my opinion. Each to their own though.

pivot make a little unit that is adjustable to the desired hight. that is the proper way to do it.

i can take it apart and take pics of the guts if any one wants to try and build one. looks really simple. its just a knob that turns up the volume kind of thing.

four wires
earth
power
signal in
signal out

intercepts wires from light control box under the dash.

use the pivot controller (one on TM last time i looked) or just do the switchy thing. bonus to the pivot is you can leave them on while dipped! OH SNAP!!
