"Sleeply Eye" headlights just plain look stupid and broken.

 

I used to like them, but then decided they just look broken.

 

I thought they were cool the first few times I saw them, but then I realized that they completely eliminate the functionality of the headlights....so....not cool....

 

I've been doing the sleepy headlight thing on my FC since I got it. I don't make it too sleepy though; some people make it like 1/2 an inch open and it really looks wrong. It's just something to change the look that doesn't cost anything. I do think that it looks better lower but it's obvious that the headlights are halfway up since the lamps are huge. Anyway, I'm just gonna buy the east-bear kit so I don't have to worry about it.

 

Wow! I like that!

 

AE Turbo, where are you going to get the East Bear kit from? Imported? I'm interested in that kit, but the last time I checked up on it, it was like $500, plus the cost to get it over here.

 

If you look in Japanese tuner magazines, almost every car with pop-up headlights has them sleepy style. I've only seen sleepy style on MR2's here. That's where the idea first came to me.

At least with the FC, the FTP's Light up if you do the sleepy head lights correctly. If you don't put them too low, they'll look okay and people won't notice that they're low.

 

500 for a bodykit form japan is pretty good cause most are like 1000 or more.

 

Yeah, that's what I heard also. There's some guy that imports them here in California and that's the price he quoted. You should PM fcturbo2 because he contacted the guy that imports them and knows the exact price. I don't mind paying $500 because I'm not going to buy any other parts for the outside except for a different wing and wheels.

 

This is only for the headlights though so it's not really a bodykit. Still, the Knightsports pop-up headlight kit is like $800-$900 and I don't think it looks as good.

 

OH yeah!!

I'm using some clear diamond back headlight fixtures in my car so the head lights just look nice. People notice the halfway headlights and then they notice the crystal lights and it's a good combo. I do agree that it looks broken when you have the dull sealed beams in there.

 

PIC!

 

AE Turbo, are you talking about the Diamond Cut headlight things that I see on Ebay all the time?? I wanted some of those, but wanted to hear some real user feedback on them. Do you like them??

Hey, I just checked on eBay right now and yes they are the same lights. I bought mine at Hot Import Nights last year. I paid 60 bucks with the Super white bulbs and strobes.

I'm pretty happy with the lights. They contribute to making the car look newer. There's a extra hole in the back of the casing so you can put some city lights or strobes in. Also, the back casing is made of plastic so you can drill a hole and put city lights with the strobe lights. I had that setup for a while but then it got stupid and I removed the strobes.

Hey, the seller on eBay has a lot of pics on these lights:

The Hole for City Lights:



I'll take some pics with them on my car over the weekend.

 

the "Cools" are catching up! =]

 

Cool, thanks AE, now I know that I should get them...I've been wondering for a while now!!!


Jeff

 

But one thing, what are "city lights??"


Jeff

 

 

Lights that are in the headlights, but are not as bright as head lights. In Japan, lots of the city streets are lit up really well at nighttime so they don't to use head lights; they just use city lights.

Uh, that's what I heard but I'm not sure. Either way, I use the city lights when I go crusing around Hollywood or street races where it's visible at night without headlights. I used to use dark blue bulbs for the city lights and it looked pretty cool at night. Yes it's kinda "ricey", but my car didn't look ricey so it was okay.

I highly reccomend the diamond lights over the stock sealed though.






....copycat j/k

 

I like it, I used to do it on my old 90 NA, when both headlights were up they wouldnt be at the same height, so I did the fuse trick.

Living in SF there is plenty of light, you could drive without your headlights on theoretically.

Now, on my TurboII both stay at the same height and I accually like the look of the popups, so I dont fiddle with them.

The Eastbear lights look absolutely hideous.

 

I think sleepy eyes look great on the FC! Just look at the white one in AE Turbo's sig.

 

I think they just look broken. Now the Diamond cuts are cool I just want to know where to get the city lights for it as well.

 

i think the sleepy look is tight my friend did it to his 240 and he is going to help me do it on my fc

 

I can sum it up in one word GAY.

Leave them up or put them down, its an easy choice. And for those who can’t make that choice “You are the weakest link, good by!!!”
