Mine seem to clunk as they drop too.

I believe you can adjust the position they drop to (so they are flush with the bonnet) but not sure if you can adjust the rate, not sure if there is much you can do padding wise to lessen the effect.

The motors on the headlamps are basically a windcreen wiper motor with 2 "park" positions (one for up and one for down) and the motor runs in the same direction for both raising and lowering.

If you do find out something I don't know please let me know.

Hi

The headlight stop is a piece of rubber hose which is adjustable. If it's worn out it will not stop the headlights well. So just replace it with a new soft piece of hose!
