I mean everyone in the states loves Fast and Furious right!? To Each his own I say.. [/B][/QUOTE]

Negative Ghostrider! Granted, it had some cool cars, but the acting and storyline sucked. Besides, now everyone compares everything to that movie. "Oh, is your car like the one on the Fast and Furious?" Besides, it is only encuraging 16-year-olds who don't know how to drive to tear up the street and ruin it for everyone. People now catorgorises all car guys as street racers. Some of us don't like drag racing or street racing. Whenever I tell someone I race, they don't think SCCA they think running from the cops. To each his own, but I will still rag on anyone I see driving a Neon with racing stripes, a whale tale, and a "Type-R" sticker. It's just plain vulguar.

ok.. i replaced everything.. relay's motors and all. they both come up when i turn the lights on... (like they are suppose to) but than the drivers side light proceeds to flip up and down, and up and down, and up and down.. NON STOP! all this with it's light illuminating..

I have no idea what could be wrong. Is it possible to 'manually' turn the headlight motors to far one way?

i Have my lighs sleepy eyed right now because one light wont go up or down and the other will. i hate the way it looks with the lights up all the time and i dont like pulling over to turn the manual turn when it starts to get dark. I put mine to good use i dont have the plastic around the lights so i put themwhere the air can direcly go to my cone filter (which i brought up right behind the light pretty much tuching my hood) so i am now gwtting ram air and can tell a difference from how it was before. i can still see at night because the majority of the light is showing

SLEEPY EYES!!
Well I like then and hate them!!lol

i like them cause they look cool ..
i hate them cause if your racing it causes DRAG!!!

but also you could leave the headlights down
and just wedge something behind the highbeam flasher.. so it shins through the pass-by lenses
which look the best.=)

Some people like functional headlights, some people like them to look broken.

Ehhh, just for your info, some models of Neons came with FACTORY racing stripes... The R/T. So please just don't make a fool of yourself. As far as the Type-R sticker and the whale tale, I must agree
Some of them are pretty badass tho, ever seen one with a PT 2.4l turbo, makes it kinda fast for a 2300 lbs car.. (srry, had one before)
Here is an exemple of a nice one

Sorry for the Hijacking lol

I like the look of the pop-ups during the day, and think sleepy-eyes are pretty much looking like they are broken. If I can save up the fundage, I will make this a moot debate by purchasing www.rotaryextreme's amemiya copy and going with exposed headlights. Until then, I am just glad mine are fully functional.

The only thing I will miss are my ftp's- no more " hey, you drive a second gen too!" flash-by's. Hell, I'll just flash my highs anyway and stick out my arm as I MASTO DORIFTO on by....

I think sleepy just looks broken. I hate popup lights anyways because of the number of times I've seen winking cars.
