Does anyone have a photo of what the hinge mechanism looks like on a sebring?
I know there is a cross bar that goes between them but I have no idea of how it all connects or works.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I looked all over and found nothing.
Didn't someone mentioned that the system used was out of a Porsche 944

I recall someone on the FB site had a manual for that car. Maybe they can help

I searched the web for any pictures that might help, went through the manual that's here on the site, searched the FB site and found nothing.
Finding any info on the install or what lights were used is an enigma.

I would think something as critical as headlights, there would be something on them.

Sorry I couldn't help

Thanks for the extra effort Brett, I appreciate the help. I will figure something out, it can not be that difficult.

I thought I'd look at this in a different way.
Since the headlight was taken from a car during that era, what cars had pop up head lights during that time.
Even more what cars used a rod (not individual motors or vacuum) to operate the system.
Also looking at pictures that are on the web I noticed that the actuating motor of the system is not the same on all cars.

Right now the only car I found that used a rod to operate the headlights that was built during that time is the Porsche 928, but the headlight as you know are not what's on the Sebring
