    I can't find it in the search. I'm trying to bypass the pop up headlight and just use running lights on the first setting. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Sam

    Mike996 i think did a thread on here when he had his 308. He had a different user name, but it should have updated? it was worded "headlight upgrade" I think. I would look, but I got to go.....

    The previous owner of my GT 4 has done a conversion. Not sure how he has done it, but it involves using the antenna lift switch to override the popup light motors. I can switch on my lights in whatever setitng, but if that switch is flipped forward, the lights won't come up. With the switch in the backward position, the lights act as they have always done - following the regular light stalk.

    Good luck!

    I followed this procedure to do mine and it works fine. I remember that I didn't actually cut the wires as directed. I figured out some way to do the whole assembly where it is reversible if anyone ever wanted to change it back to stock. I don't remember exactly what I did, but I do remember it wasn't too complex.
