Actually its kind of a pain in the butt to install, but yeah it makes the sleepy eyes look, thats pretty cheap for it right now.

Perhaps if you changed your front headlights to a dual bulb setup (per side), kind of like the old knight sports kit and you didn't need it to pop up all the way.

I doubt this kit works for the 7. I have seen a few people who have set their lights to stop at that point by cutting the power to them but as a kit that will do that every time and keep them level and have operating headlights. That would be more complex.

it works. how do I know? I have it installed in my turbo 2. was pretty simple to install cut one wire wire those 2 wires to the controller and then find a ground. if anybody gets this and needs help installing it hit me up.
its mainly for looks although it can force cooler air towards the filter if you have an aftermarket tid.

"What happened to your headlights?"

"I did that on purpose."

"Well, it looks like they're broken."

"Nah, I bought this $65 switch off of EBay to make 'em do that."

"Are you retarded"

"Yes, yes I am."

The lifting arm setup doesn't let you do that accually- Anouther forum member (gnrx7 i think) accually built a sliding rod setup that worked. He planed to sell it with a twin projector kit but it never happened.

If you just shorten the arm the motor gets fucked up and it wont come back down becuase of the cam setup used.

That is pretty funny.

I did see them on a VERY few cars in general and I thought they looked alright. I mean opinions vary quite a bit.

You would never find it on my car, nor sleek lights, I just like the stock look with LIGHTS DOWN all the way. I just use my fog lights to drive anyway since they are bright enough.

the problem with that is you have to hit the switch and try to get it in the position you want every time your lights are off. with the controller you turn your lights on your head lights are open all the way. once off the controller regulates how far the headlights close and you never have to change the setting unless you want to make adjustments either + or -
