Washed and cleaned my 97 for tomorrow's BBQ at Gil's . Both headlights will not go down. Now, I have been an NSX owner since 1994 and have never had this problem. Both fuses OK, plenty of battery power. Owner's manual has a paragraph about raising the lights manually. Motor's plastic cover has an arrow pointing forward and refuses to come off. I looked at Wiki and, call me dumb, I was not able to find anything about headlights refusing to retract. Any help (I refuse to drive the thing with headlights up :)

Did you remove any interior items recently? The headlights will stay in the "up" position if the headlight switch on the left side of the dash is disconnected or otherwise inoperable.

No, did not. Just found NSX service manauls I've had since 1994 (thank you Woodwork!). located both relays in Box A. Maybe both fried ?

Thanks ! Well, thanks also to Manny for reminding me about the popup switch on the dashboard. No wonder they call him Dr. Manny ! And...after 16 years of NSXing, I still forgot about it.
