Even though it's on a Fiero chassis, these countach kit cars are cool cars. Head turners for sure. I have a red one similar to this (mine has the 4cyl). Mine is on an 84 Fiero chassis, and needs some work. Whoever put it together did not do a good job. I have to say, the trucks on the front for adding a little extra safety for the ground effect is a good idea. The ground effect for mine is cracked in half and in need of repair. I definitely have a project on my hands. The plan is to drop in a 3.8 supercharged engine or a LS4 out of an Impala or monte carlo. I've looked into modifying the GM F40 manual trans to fit the LS4. The goal being a manual trans for fun. I'm a long way from that.

Every cool thing they have ever done with headlights has always been a pain in the ass.. pop ups, hideaways.. etc... all a pain in the ass. That is why the factory always has some half assed way to put them up manually. They knew it was just a matter of time until they failed. Buick Riviera's had that horrible clamshell thing... just an electrically operated mechanical @$$hole of linkages. I feel your pain. Might want to redo that front wiring harness to your standards. Looks like it's seen some heat damage as you pointed out.

Really stupid question. Does that car have a body control module? (I did some quick googling and came across some forms and apparently that's a popular mod.) Also maybe . . if the headlight motors has contacts and blah blah blah like you said. . . Could the issue be with the placement of the motor in relation to the kit-car headlight flaps? (Like maybe disconnect the linkage and see if they still have the issue.)

I's a great looking kit. Even Hoovie's real Countach has the skateboard wheels under the front. At 22:40 after the lights com up I notice a few seconds later they get brighter. I don't know enough about electronics, but shouldn't they stay one brightness. Is that normal for headlights or are they turning on the normal brightness and then automatically shifting to the brighter setting?
