Thanks everybody for watching. I get this question more time than you think and I see it constantly in Facebook groups, so apparently there's a need for an easy answer.

Thanks dude, just solved my issue, and thanks for taking the time. I owe you a beer

Thank you, brother. Solved my issue as well. Started doing this after LED upgrade. Appreciate the help!

So glad you made this video! Because I installed LED’s and they were doing the same thing and I thought I messed something up. Great help!

Great video! I installed LEDs on my 04 and couldn't figure out why headlights weren't closing. They work fine now great information

Bro you just saved me today loll.. i was installing new LEDs and I couldn’t get the lights to go down. Thank you!!!! Keep the content coming.Thx

New to the corvette family, you solved my problem with my headlights opening up with the key. THANK YOU!!!

YES!!! AWESOME! Thank you for taking the time to produce this content. Makes life easier.

I don’t even have a vet but I love watching these😅 trying to save up and sell my 01 bmw z3 so I can finally get a c5, keep up the great content!🤙🏼

High beams work. Thanks a million. Just picked up this hid low-beam swapped C5 and for the life of me couldn't figure it out

Great video! Thanks for the free fixes! I thought I had broken something when I installed my LED lights. Your free work-arounds worked for me. Cheers! Liked and subscribed!

Thanks for this video, just put in led lights and wondering why the lights wouldn't go down. Like the high beam trick👍🏼

SHEEEIIIT !!!! 1st time even seeing that Twilight option !!!! LOL

Ahh, Happy Gilmore. A classic.

You've been killing the intros lately 🤣 keep it up 👍

Thanks, man. I replaced my 2001 C5 with LEDS’ and you gave me the trick to get them to go down. Thumbs up all the way my friend.

Thanks for the tip I was having the same problem and no one post the answer good job

My Vette does this after doing my custom LED sleepy eye mod. I’ve been restarting the car. I’ll try the high beam trick next time. 👌🏽👍🏽

Thanks Dave good video. The question I am asking now, is why does the car running eliminate the problem? The reason I ask this is because I installed the hyper flash a few minutes ago. While doing so I was listening to some jams which ran the battery down a little. When I turned on the headlights and they wouldn't go down. Naturally I thought it was the hyper flash unit. Cause when I installed the led headlights there wasn't a problem lowering them. Anyway, since I've been doing all the mods, I've kept a battery charger connected, but the stereo still draws the state of charge down even with the charger.. yeah I know, but I likes me tunes loud! Anyway, after watching this video & reading some of the comments, I went back out to check on the bump high beams idea, and the headlights go down fine now without bumping the highs or having the engine running. So I suspect this is more of a problem with a weak battery that, not holding 12.6 volts at rest. That is why they'll go down while the engine is running, because the battery's state of charge is much higher (being charged by the alternator). Why turning on the high beams allows them to close is another question and I do not have an answer for that. By the way I have leds on both low & high beams and I don't think that makes a difference cause the high beam trick worked while the battery was in a low state of charge. Thanks for creating the content, you made the hyper flash unit install a lot easier. ; )

If you sit on them, they will go back down. once. ;) I think I've used the headlights in my car like 2 times in almost 3 years.

My first date with my wife we watched Happy Gilmore when it just came out at the video store. Yeah we're old 🤣

Thank you sir

Thanks

Life saver🎉🎉

“ just tap it in”! Just tap it in”! TapTaptap...🤣

Thank you!!! Your the best man it it got me worried for a sec lol

You are a life saver my man

Hi Dave; I put LED low beams in my C5, and the resistor for each one, and I still have to flip to high beams to get them to go down.

Sweet intro bro. Good tutorial man.

Thanks so much for this info brother!!

You are amazing, thank you!!!

Thanks for the fix brother 🤙🏼

It's a conspiracy between the LED manufacturers and the used car dealers to build in this flaw. I've known a lot C5 owners who had this problem too. They're "fix" was to sell the C5 and buy a C6. You can expect a knock on your door anytime now for releasing the only two known non-monetary fixes.Don't worry though, if needed, I know a guy who can "fix" that problem.😁 Save the Wave👋 P.S. A pre-congratulations on reaching the 5k subscriber mark Dave. Well done!!👍👍 Oh yeah. I see there's a little "problem" here with a one thumb-downer. Don't you worry, I know a guy who can "fix" that problem too. No, no, no thanks are necessary. But one day, I may ask you for a favor.😉

Ok guys, I'm going to throw a wrench into this. Back last year when I got my C5 I had the same problem but it was with the stock bulbs! Then the low beams wouldn't come on and I had to use the high beam switch thing to get them down. A few weeks later everything started working ok. So lets fast forward a year. Yesterday I switched out to the LED and now I have the same issue. The lights wont go down and the and the low beams will go off but you can still see a little light coming from them. CRAZY!

Dave ....you need to have 4eyec5 headlight's . There are very popular..and very sharp looking...

I no longer need to turn off the lights before turning the engine off. The fix was to tighten the nut on the actuator arm. The shaft was moving a little in the arm.

how do you fix drivers headlight that wont pop up,already changed motor,i tested motor of car before i installed it,its brand new,i installed it plugged in wires.headlight turn on,but drivers side wont pop up,do you have a solution,Thanks

You can also rub lavender on your sun visor

So this is how to fix it if you changed your low beams to LED. Is the problem not correctable if you change high and low beams to LED (if you don't want to use resistors)??

You could also put the headlights down manually. Just a knob on the side of each headlight. All you have to do is pop the hood and take the knob cover off.

Ah. This happened to me when I changed to LED bulbs. Eventually the problem sorted itself out so I was like 🤷‍♂️ "Cool." 🤣😂

I just don't drive mine at night... Haha, but on my C5 FRC, I can bump the stalk and they lower.

On my c5 my multi function stick went bad and I couldnt get my headlights to pop up and drove home in the dark. I replaced the mfs

Need a “can”

just a dumas.

Thanks
