[Mk1] [Generic] Head light retractors

Post by ziggyzigatron »

Hello everybody,
Just wonderd if anybody knew how i could get rid of the delay in the head light retractors on a mk1 mr2. They go up instantly but go down about five seconds after the lights have been turned off. I beleive there is a componant that needs linking out in the retractor relay box but i cant find any exact info.
I am aware this is meant to happen as it also happens on my mk2 and on neils mk1 but i need them to be instant as i am using the motors, relay box and harness for another project.

Any advise would be hugely appreciated
