do all fc's have flip up headlights? i saw one today on my way to work that looked like it didnt have flip up lights.. like they were built in under where the usual headlights are... does anyone get what im saying... is this custom or did they do this with a certain year?

 

All FC's from the factory came with pop up lights. Some people have modified their cars however, so that the lights don't pop up, or only pop up half way.

 

interesting..........

 

Does that give you enough light when you 're driving @ night, Mr. Pimp?

 

THATS IT! THATS IT! thats exactly what the fc looked like... how do you do it?

 

Never seen that mod before....

 

yeah, it almost looks like he cut out the top of the ftp lens out, cleared the area, and took out the fuse for the headlight motor.

 

save weight...mmmm...yummy

 

all that 10 lbs must do a lot

driving naked would save even more weight !!
I guess just boxers, to save yourself from indecent exposure. Or briefs if your that kinda guy.

 

seems like a good guess...

also about the whole taking the fuse out, he didnt have to take the fuse out in order to turn the lights on without having them go up. theres a little *** you can turn that will stop the motors as well. if you didnt already know.
this an easy mod just takes a long time.

 

really? where's the ****? b/c when i turn my headlights on, they automatically pop up unless i pull the fuse, or hold the high beams on

 

The **** is to pop the headlights up without turning them on, so you can change the bulbs or clean them.

Not the other way around.

You must pull the fuse, or hold the high beam lever out as you drive. I wouldn't recommend this, though.

 

I drive with my lights shining thru the FTP holes. I havnt used the acctually flip up feature in a while.. I guess it also helps that i have Piaa fogs. Occasionally i'll flip the lights half up.. or a quarter ways up

"Last time i plugged the fuse in for each headlight motor, one light started flipping up and down NON STOP" CHEERS!

 

lose some weight on the driver

 

Yeah how can you drive without the lights popping up? The parking lights wont give off enough light I dont think. Idk maybe with all that stuff removed.

 

Screw pulling the fuse. This is what I did.

My version is much easier (note that both were written indipendantly): http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/lights.htm

 

Someone needs to write an article with a lot more pictures, because 90% of the population are visual learners.

I was going to include a schematic, but very few people can read them...I have made a note to include a schematic in the next update.

 

What Is this you speak of...these Pop up Head Lights? I have no such thing.

 

Mr. Slick Nuts and his headlights.

 

I'm thinking about making a completely bolt on headlight kit, that goes less than halfway up as it does now...

It will have to use different lights, and a modified arm for the retractor motor

 

Man, the pop up lights are a part of what make the 7 so fun to drive at night.

 

Its just preference, I personally dont like pop up lights and think that they look cheesy
