Talking Sleepy Eye Headlights=Sweetness!

OK, All I did was disconnect the battery, then adjust the headlight pop-up height manually with the *****, and then just unplug the motors to the headlights. Easy and free. Looks awesome Day/night. Anyone done this before?

wow thats a lot of work
all you realy have to do is remove the light fuse turn the head lights on and then bump the fuse into the socket untill the desired hight is acheved. then when you want your headlights to work you just put the fuse back in.

Bullshit. If you truely believe this idiotic-looking mod doesn't reduce your forward lighting you must be half-blind or a little slow in the head. Light half covered = half light output. It's not that hard to understand. Most people here take steps to improve the FC's very average performing headlights, not make them even less effective.

The point is there is a proper way to do this. It is called using BP low profile head lights and make the conversion right without it reducing light output and endangering you and everyone around you! There is no excuse to not do this right it is just stupid rice and immature to endanger people b/c of your need to look at me.

This dumb mod has been "shared" hundreds of times, it used to be popular ten years ago but is now generally laughed at and reduced light output is an obvious safety risk. He may not have wanted to hear these facts, but he needed to be told them because he obviously didn't know.

i did it on my car(pulling the fuse) not because i want to 'look cool' or because its 'jdm yo!' i did it because i like the way it looks, and as for reducing light output yep, it defanitly does. But (and ive tested this with a friend) when at night if you turn your hi-beams on its slightly more light than normal lights when they are fully functional. not too bright that people get mad, and you still have PLENTY of light to see. only downside, no hi-beam options as far as seeing farther or better on an empty road late at night.

people hate too much. ****, let him like what he likes. some people try constructive critisism...but most dont.

You guys don't know from cool! Everybody does this. What nobody else does is the "sleepy door" look. Jam something into the door hinge so the doors don't close completely.

Totally trick!
