This might be an old subject but.... I am driving to Palm Spring every day
for a new client of mine. About 180 miles one way so I have a lot of time to
think. I have built about 15 Cozy MKIV's now in my head to kill the travel
time.

I was looking at cars that had pop-up headlights. If you turn the car upside
down you would have pop-down headlights. So I looked for a make and model
that looked like it had a similar hood curvature like the bottom of the
Cozy.

I found myself at a pick-a-part junk yard out in Indio (Don't ask). I found
the servo unit that makes the lights pop-up and down. Its  electric, small,
light weight, and has a top and bottom travel adjustment built in. It came
out of a Honda Prelude. The cost was.............$10.00.

I'm not ready to install the landing light yet but was thinking about this
idea. It may not be new but sounds like a nice trick. Has anyone done this
yet?

Oops, sorry. I got my own URL wrong!

Clark,
Thanks for the info on the Honda Prelude headlight servo. How light and how
small is it?
I've done my landing lights (see http://kgarden.com/cozy/chap13.htm ), but
was
still wondering how to deploy them.

Better get that Cozy built! 180 miles each way would be a one hour flight!
I commuted 200 miles each way in a Cherokee for 18 months. Lots of fun.
Keep building.
