hmm, [assholemode]
can you read?
[/assholemode]
popular modification on cars with pop-up headlights is to reduce how much they actually pop up. This little module allows you to variably control the height of the headlights. Includes the controller, wiring, and installation instructions.
Only for 1991-1993 models, but also works for the following cars with pop-up headlight systems : Mazda Miata, RX-7, Toyota Supra, Celica, MR-2, and Nissan 240SX.

The only way this would be useful and functional is to replace the stock lenses as well.
I nominate you for the design, build, and install. Remember to take pics.

hmm, not really
the idea is that they don't popup all theway...have you ever seen the "snake" eye mod on 3000GT/stealths
it looks sorta neat actually, of course you wont get full lighting...but for parking lots/cruising/evenings/dusk
looks awesome

WTF is the point to have a light pop up and have light point into the bumper?!?
That's pretty stupid.
It's like the kids who lift their wipers away from the windshields and drive around like that. (As seen in Okinawa).
No point whatsoever.

Its just sleepy eyes, nothing new about that. I don't think there's much purpose to them with the stock lighting system, but I guess some think it looks cool. Whatever floats your boat.

fast sports car + even less lighting = CERTAIN DOOM.
...simple math, really.
also, wouldn't that increase the turbulence at the headlight, causing an even higher chance of losing a headlight cover?

The day finally has come where the rice spilled over into the 3rd Gen forum. Not one person on this forum that I know of have done this to their FD's. If your talking about sleepy eye kits, I have one but there is no way in hell you can use the stock lenses. Sure it may be cheap, but all the lighting is pointed towards the front bumper and right in front of the car. The last thing you want to do to the lighting on this car is **** it up. It's already the worst lighting I have EVER seen on a car, especially for a car that cost over 30g's when new.
Here is what I have on my car and the RIGHT way to do it...

I honestly did not think this was suitable for actually driving at night. I whole heartedly agree with you that this car has horrible stock lighting. I can ride around with my high beams on and nobody knows the difference. When I mentioned this as an alternative to a sleepy eyed kit, I only intended it as a show, aesthetic peice. Maybe drive during the day or what not with it. No need to flame.
