Lazy Eye Headlight Conversion?

How do you do the "lazy eye" headlight conversion? Is there a kit to use, or is it something custom?

I wouldn't ever do it, but hey, it's your car.

I think you have to adjust the bump stops for the headlights so that they don't go down all the way anymore, but I could be wrong.

I'm 99% sure you don't need a kit or anything to do it though.

theres nothing really to convert for it to be a conversion, just simply remove the fuse and adjust the ***** (one on each side, under the car) someone has already said this.

i use to like sleepy/lazy eyes but the more i look at it, the more i hate it. it has more of a dopey look instead of the aggressive look that i want. imo put them up ot put them down

simple just remove the fuse for the headlights (no need for any labor) then turn the headlights on and use the fuse you just took out tap it back in the fuse block and the headlights will come up however far you want them to

You are. There are no bump stops to adjust. The motor must make a full 360deg revolution to raise then lower the lights, and it only turns in one direction (think of how a piston engine works).

Please don't do this to your car. It looks truely stupid.

i agree with NZvert .... this "mod" is prolly the stupidest thing you can do to your car, not old does it not look right with the half showing lights, but ur lighting is also reduced .... when u see smashed FC's or 240s with sleepy eyes .... kinda makes u wonder

a lot of ppl have already said it but, u dont need 2 buy a kit its just like a bunch of ppl said.. pull the 30amp fuse under the hood nd adjust the lights with the **** on the bottom of the car.

and go ahead and do it if u want, some ppl dont like it but thats the case w/ lots of asthetic mods. most FC owners get mad when their cars dont look stock. (just what ive experienceed) but whatever 2 each his own

to do it:

pop the hood and roll down the driver side window
put your left hand on the 'retactor fuse' and your right on the **** to turn on your headlights
turn on the headlights and when they're on there way up, pull the fuse
now you can turn your headlights on and off, but they'll stay in the half-way position...

I have a pic on a for sale thread I started: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=357382

wooo the most common hater thread on this forum! i used to do the lazy eye thing but i had to drive far in the pitch dark so i put them back up. i've been to lazy to put them back to lazy style lol. it's not good for driving in the dark tho. get some fog lights or spend the 80 on ebay for the controller. i like the way it looks on FC's. it looks.. high lol. cuz the FC is wide and low.
