wild thought...how about a gas spring that would open the headlights and a latch on the gear to hold them closed when pushed closed by hand. use an open limit switch to prevent the lights from burning when not open


Incredible idea Joe!
You could easily have a pull cable to release the catch and then simply push the doors down by hand to latch them back. It would be very light and simple to implement.
