If you want to see how it looks temporarily, just pop your headlights up, open your hood, pull the cover off of what I'm guessing is the motor, and turn it until it lowers to the point that you want your sleepy eyes at.

That way, you don't spend a bunch of money doing a conversion just to find out you don't like it.

Just never lower your headlights back down once you set it where you want it. You will need to probably make custom buckets or something and use projectors(like the fog lights in the ricer section of your local auto parts store) in place of the big round headlights.

I had mines with the sleepy eye look for a while, didn't take the fuse out though so when I turned the lights on they went away.

I'll do it again tomorrow for pics and a nice 10k rev.
