blah blah whatever

the stock switch that jsut piops up the light has a dead spot in it
with a little finesse you can get them to pop half up and then stay that way as the swtich sits in the dead spot. with some more switch finesse you can get the ligths going up and down individual of each other.

but im a fan of the drunken/retarded eye look.


yeah i drift and my headlights are goofy. i dont give a ****. its all about having fun

Unplug the motors to the headlights and use the manual adjusting ***** on the bottom of the car.

Like stevensimon said...wire a pair of wires from the fuse for the pop up headlights inside your car to a momentary switch...for safety, you can add a inline fuse yourself somewhere along one of the wires and "bam!"...you got yourself a switch for the lights...simple and cheap.

dont cut wires....................

on a 240 the "headlight retractor' wire is a constant 12v signal when the button is pressed on. i used it to power my silvia fog lamps.

ANYwho...

just pull the RETRACTOR fuse under the hood. rech under the headlights and remove the rubber slip cover. twist the white **** 10,000 times untill they are about 1/4 open. the great thing about rx7's is that the bulb is always pointing straight forward so the "sleepy eye mod" doesnt affect the affectiveness of your headlights too much.
