Headlights will not open on 1983 mazda rx7 - 1983 Mazda RX-7

WHEN YOU BUY A 1983 MAZDA RX 7 YOU ARE BUYING SOME ONE'S PROBLEMS. SO NOW THIS CAR YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT A COMPLETE CHEK UP.YOU HAVE TO ASK YOU'R SELF HOW LONG IS THIS CAR BEEN SITTIN WITHOUT ANYONE DRIVING IT??? NOW YOU HAVE TO FIGUAR OUT WHERE DO I START,1- GAS FILTER GAS PUMP, GAS TANK- -DOES IT HAVE ANY GUNK? 2-DOSE THE CARBURETOR NEED CLEANIG OR ADJUSTING OR REBUILDING ? 3-HOSES 4-DOES THE ENGINE HAVE GOOD COMPRESSION 5-RADIATOR AND COOLING SYSTEM? OIL LEAKS CHECK OIL PAN SEE THAT THERE IS NO WATER IN IT.THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT NEED AN INSPECTION..I WOULD START FIRST BY CHECKING ENGINE COMPRESSION YOU NEED A PRESSURE GAUGE IF YOU HAVE ONE OR BUY ONE AT AUTO ZONE IS BEST TO BUY THE TYPE OF GAUGE THAT SCREWS IN THE PISTON HOLE. IF YOU BUY ONE ASK A SERVICEMEN FROM AUTO FOR INSTRUCTIONS...
GOOD LUCK AND WORK SAFELY.

Left side engine compartment, front of strut tower.

compression check required

sounds like the timing is out or the fuel mixture is wrong get a tune up and that will prob sort it

Ebay is likely the best place, as most bone yards dont have first gen RX7s anymore. I checked and they are very cheap 10$ max

Yes it is right next to the fuel tank, under a metal cover. It is on the driver's side in front of the rear axle

with great difficulty ,its a dirty hard backbreaking job ,now is it front wheel drive or rear wheel drive

might have to replace the headlights/bulbs. I have an 85 rx7 and I didnt have low beams only high and I replaced both headlights and now they work.
