sleepy eye look

Do any of you fc owners have the half open, sleepy headlight look on your cars? I 've seen it on some 7's and i want to do it to my own, Does anyone know how to get the headlights halfway up like that? i heard you pull the retractor fuse and just crank the motor up until its where you want it, but will you head lights still work? thanks

unless you disconnect the light's HARNESSES your lights should still work. Whether or not you'll kill yourself with the limited light that will be available is a completely different story.

Anyone second the motion to make this the "Darwin thread of the week?" say AYE!

crank the motor. Blah thats the hard way.

In the FC head light switch, (top one) Theres a center point where its neither on nor off. So play with the switch.

crank half way, and stop in the middle when its at propper height. Then pull the retractor switch to use your headlights.

Not recommended to at night. not enough light unless your running some HIDs

Talking

hah i tried the "Fuse Pulling action" i just pulled out the FTP lenses and thought i was hot ****... but then one day pondering and sipping on Brew i decided to finally bite the lazy bullet and just wire a switch through the front fuse box to where the switch is on my center console and of course a fuse. the option of having headlights when you needed them definitely appealed to me. Now it looks like my 7 is about to pass out!

oh yeah... the first option was stupid. especially with how foggy those FC windshields are in the middle of the night

This has been covered hundreds of times before and the result is always the same. The thread becomes flamebait and quickly goes down the toilet.

Lights like this are dangerous, ilegal and most people think they look broken.

Search "sleepy eyes" or "lazy eyes" for similar threads.

Closing this thread now...
