[DeTomaso] Headlights won`t go down again

[Tom Shinrock]

 I'm sure that is a lot quicker and less painful than having to squeeze your hand into too small a space about a 100 times to turn the knob to get the lights up.   I've done it only once in 26 years and I remember it not being fun.

My 84 GT5 (#9321) does not.

The owner manual describes a procedure for manually lifting the lights 
which involves loosening an M6 screw and sliding the gear on the shaft 
so that it disengages the motor and then lift the lights into position 
and engaging the gear again. Seems fairly simple, although it will 
require a 10 mm wrench.
