Are you talking about sleepy eyes?

kcdclan 09-24-08 09:54 PM

yea

NJGreenBudd 09-24-08 09:57 PM

Don't try to do that. The lights aren't made to be operated in a half cocked position. It's dangerous and rice at best. Just don't do it.

kcdclan 09-24-08 09:59 PM

+1

I tryed it and it didnt look too good. But another way is to unplug the motors(big white connector behind each head light. Turn the knob for the lights under the defrost button. then just touch the plugs together untill desired hight is reached.

you can opperate them at 1/2, or all the way down, u just have to cut the bumper, or have one with the cut outs so the lamps arent blocked... i cut mine it looks like this. its kinda ugly cause they're like, a bit sleepy, i was just test fitting the bumper, its better with them all the way shut... lulz

I hav real HID's so light was adequate with only 25% of the headlights showing

Tatakai 09-25-08 02:34 AM

i have HID's with crappo ebay headlight housings, ive been meaning to see how the light output is with my lights all the way down shining through my clear ftp's.

sleepy eyes does not look good on stock body/stock suspension cars, it just really makes the car/owner look ghetto.. If the car has a kit and modded, then it may look aggressive.. and dont make sleepy eyes too high, too many noobs do that. Putting it on a stock car is as bad as people putting japanese rising sun images on their car.

heres what it looks like on mine

about the only car that can pull it off. the design of the s13, the headlight pods are extruded beyond the hood.

and whoever puts them like that to drive at night wiht the lights on is a retard.. its mostly for style.. no one rocks the lights on with it.

FC_DRFT 09-25-08 02:07 PM

I agree Hypertek.....

Zerkster 09-25-08 02:21 PM

Hypertek.. we both are rocking flat black why is everyone ripping me a new one for it?

kcdclan 09-25-08 05:58 PM

shika805 09-25-08 10:16 PM

yeah i think there are two ways of doing this, there is a short cut way and the correct way... i agree with hyper, on a stock 7, sleepy eye looks tacky... my .02

NJGreenBudd 09-25-08 10:17 PM

If you are talking about getting a sleek headlight kit, which are becoming harder to find, then good luck with your project. But rigging the stock lights in a half cocked position is just wrong, plain wrong.

Rx7TyreBurna 09-26-08 12:46 AM

har har har. Makes a car look like it's high...... hahah

Eh, sometimes it's all a ricer can afford.... sleepy headlight mod.

2 fast 2 furious! Noticed a lot more of these people showing up after tokyo drift. haha

Bleh. Lame.

Hypertek 09-26-08 12:55 AM

what tokyo drift? wahh?? stfu

if anything, that would increase the market demand for more aftermarket parts and support for these cars.. its hard enough that theres not many places you can order apex seals from...

Rx7TyreBurna 09-26-08 01:03 AM

hahaha. Well, most kids watch F&F:TD, and then they run out and trade there civic for either a 240 or an rx, mostly because these are cheap RWD cars. Then, they gay it up by putting sleepy eyes, stickers, HIDs, home depot front lip, etc. (Oh, and primer grey paint..... they can't afford a real paint job)

LoL. Then, we get a lot of really poor looking RX's out there. I don't see how this would spur companies to make aftermarket stuff for our cars. Maybe if you kids need awesome underglow kits or something. hahah.

There are tons of parts for our cars. What else is needed? Turbo kits, aftermarket exhausts, intakes, porting, etc. Or, do you mean we need more awesome body kits, and wings? har har har.

JustJeff 09-26-08 01:41 AM

Sleepy-eyed RX's are like seeing a fat chick naked. You do a double-take, then you're haunted with the memory of what you saw

SouthSideSlider 09-26-08 02:03 AM

if he is getting a actually kit with the quad curular headlights i cant see why you guys are jumping all over the kid. seriously you need to learn to be nicer.
