1st of all I got this car. The front end was replaced with a Talon front end. They didn't wire crap up right So I have to wade through it all. I have a few questions about two problems I'm not sure about.

1. My headlights will pop up. but not untill the brights are on(this may be a bad wireing) but they will not go back down. I can use the headlight up/down button to raise them yet still I cannot lower them. I lower them with the manual crank and when I flip the switch they go up great. I'm wondering if when they put in the head lights the missed a switch or something. The headlight housing aren't orginal to this car..as they are a different color but I think the motors are original to the car..maybe I'm missing a headlight up sensor or something?? Any help would be great!
Also the head lights don't seem to fit right. I can only get one of the top bolts on if I line i up for all the bolts they are waaay crooked in..wonder if there was some damage?

2.My door locks. The driver side door lock doesn't accept the key..not so much of a problem. However if I lock the door with the internal electric switch on the driver side..they lock for a second then unlock. I can use the passenger side switch and everything locks just fine. Does maybe the car think the key is in the ignition? I don't have a solid DSM to test to see if the doors will lock using the passenger switch with the key in. The driver side door switch is rigged I think they just tied the wires together so the computer reads the door as always closed. because the dome light doesn't operate automaticly witht he driver side door..and does with the passenger side door. The electric seat belts work normally on both sides. I assume they are tied to the door handles instead.

Any help unrigging the wiring of this car would help...they really did a number on it.
