Headlight mod?
Has anyone ever modified sa headlights so they always point forward like the fc's? Example; so you can have sleepy eyes and still have them somewhat convenient for night driving.

Not quite, I want to retain the stock pop up headlights. The FC's have a couple strategic pivot points in the headlights, I can't remember exactly what they called it, but even when the headlights are fish, they are pointing forward, but the SA's (and even some, if not all, miatas) the headlight is locked to the cover piece, so when the headlights are down, they are pointing almost straight down

I haven't ever heard of anyone doing that. I have seen some custom sleepy eye mods, not
a big fan of those.
Popup headlights are like waffle wheels, they are some of the things that make our cars so
cool.

i have no idea if anyone has ever done it on a Gen I, but i also fail to see the point. i think the closest you will come to finding that would be people that replaced the pop-ups with fixed lights a la Ferrari F40 (which, yes, actually had pop-up headlights, but it's the only example i could think of for what i was referring to).
i will be of no help to you on this. sorry.

okay, so you're basically talking about the flash-to-pass function. yeah, i'm sure that will be tricky.
