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.

+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 **** 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

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.

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.

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...

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.

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
