lol pull the headlight fuse out and remove the dust boot underneath the headlight lamps and there should be a manual *** to turn to the desired height. Or flip the pop up light switch really quick up and down and get the lights to stay about half way up. LOL have fun and don't break anything.

sleepy eyes doesnt really look good on rx7s, the headlight angle degree just doesnt work out very well like 240s.

im kind of 50/50 on it, but my thing is that at least with the rx7 the headlights are still on the road because they rotate inside the assembly, whereas the 240s headlights are fixed, so if the sleepy the headlights, they arent even pointing on the road anymore

to each his own i guess

just pull the fuse, turn the lights on, and tap the fuse onto the fuse terminals. They lights will pop up. when you get to your desired height just take the fuse with you, and toss it in the glove box for when you realize the sleep eyes looks terrible on a rx7 in the first place.

It's your car. Just set em manually with the fuse pulled or change the pivot points on the lever arms.

Yes, the lights themselves ALWAYS point foward regardless of lamp height.
