Sleepy eye conversion......Google it....actually i can tell you now...either take out the fuse labeled retractor it should be like a pink fuse i think...anyways....if you are on the left side of the car facing towards the right side of the car, it should be the fuse closest to you in the main fuse box under the hood...or you can disconnect the motors altogether and even remove them if you want to save wieght(not much) and then there are little thumbscrew-0like things underneath where the lights should be there is a black rubber cover over them...pull it off. then turn the little white flower-like screws until you reach desired height(or lack of)...

but i do like the 1st style a bit better because it looks more "stock" since the upper trim isnt hacked up.

I'd go with number two if you work out some kinda bezel for the headlights so it looks more stockish.

So, your final product will not be flip up/flip down? Thats a big bumber dude... Would be perfect as an aftermarket headlight assembly...

use real headlights, not fog lights. 1 fogs don't reach out far enough 2 its not legal 3 not being ale to see at night is dangerous and stupid compromise for looks. Although its a more expensive route, at least you'll be able to see at night and not be hastled by the man.

http://izntrbl.vstore.ca/index.php/c...ctors-hid-kits <-- projector style lights.

http://www.rallylights.com/hella/90mm_modules.asp <--- extremely nive Hella lights

You can always go the junk yard route as well and get some ligths from any car that had projector lights, simply rip out the projector light portion with its mounting tabs and such.
