sleepy eye mod finished, girlz rock

i did it!!!!!!!

i did it. i finaly did it. i tapped into the power suply to the motors. i splied them. ran a wire to a switch from both lid motors to my dash. ran it back. and now i can have them sleepy eye and have lights on. .
need more light?
flip the switch to on. and you'll have your lights fully exposed.
brillian!
i also wired up half of my harness for my dual headlight conversion

those in each of my lids. dual headlights
unfortunatly. lone halo ring is out.
so i have to wait to get another one in the mail befor i can continue and weld a custom bracket for the 2.

cut circut of power to motor by turning off the switch
flip your lights to the up position. they will not move cuz circut is broken
then tap the switch on then off. it will raise them a few. (i could have bought a button but didnt see one)
now i can have headlights on and lights half way up. unlike just pulling the fuse and not having lights.

to raise lights all the way. flip switch to on. they will raise all the way.

Ahaha, interesting way to do it. You could also wire up another switch to one of the motors and break it's power so you could make your car wink.

Cool, now i dont have to buy one of those pivot things.

What type of switch did you use. The push button ones, or the flip ones?

a potentiometer does it without having to play the flip switch game everytime you want to raise the lights..

$1.75 for a pot.. and it keeps the OEM light switch; you drop the pot inline, set your height and your done.. regardless, good job.. better then allot of attempts made here in the past..

when's the next seven stock? btw nice mod. I'm keeping my headlights stock but the halo ring headlights are an intriquing idea. Do you have them in now or are you putting them in later?

well, that's more along the lines of preference

toggle switches look kind of ghetto and you have to time it with the movement of the headlights

but the pivot controller looks clean and has a **** with which you can adjust the angle without having to do anything other then operate the headlight switch as you always do..

but i sure as hell wouldn't pay over 50 for one
