Please search. This has been covered many times before.

And to the other people who will post here, NO FLAMES! Yes, sleepy lights are stupid. We all know that already...

They look better on 240's. The sleepy look on the rx7's cut down on the visibility.

u dont drive a 240....it looks fucked up!!!!! but.....turn the headlight to the on position remove the RETRACTOR fuse in the engine bay, turn of lights and barely toucj the fuse on the socket that it belongs....your headlights will drop and you should stop once you got the desired height.

Hope that made sense.....

Not worth it, imho.

By the way, you don't need to jumper or do anything electrical.

Reach underneath the front of the car underneath where the headlights are (AFTER pulling the retractor fuse under the hood) and pull the dust boot off (provided it hasn't fallen off already) then turn until the lights start to rise and stop at desired height. Stand back, make sure they are both at the same height, and BLAM! Your headlights now look broken.


Removal is the reverse procedure.
