Sleepy Rectangle Headlights
 

Does anyone have any idea what is used as the headlights (nsx?), or if it is available as a kit? :scratch:

Thanks in advance!

Veilside make a kit similar to that, pretty rare though..

really? Couldn't find it on their website...wonder how functional they are.

I like the look though

hmm i couldn't find it either.

the drift fd hideki nishimura used to drive:

As you can see it has had the whole m-sports thing done to it, all except the sleepy rectangles on the m sports demo fd:

i've looked at the m sports catalogue and couldnt find the headlight assembly

These are the Veilside ones...This particular set is sold though...http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forum...ad.php?t=61831

VeilSide made that "fixed sleepy eyes" style headlight for 180sx, but I don't know about RX7.

Ya i've always liked those small rectangle headlights in the fd i know mad mike has a pair too but it seems like they are just LED's. I wonder if those actually have high beams and all. If anyone knows where you can buy these plz link it!!:icon_tup:

I don't think they exist for the FD. I'll bet money what you see in the pics are the OEM lights with the Pivot Controller. If so, they don't function as headlights, they just look cool.

I have a Pivot Controller if you want to do the same:)

^My bad!:) Interesting.

Not sure what the light output is like on them. Although I know the owner...So I could find out if anyone was interested. I think these pics we're taken before they we're adjusted.

The veilside sleepy kit is so old, most current veilside employees don't know it was ever made.

Lol

although, It would be sweet to get a set of the bezzels to retro fit some dual 90mm projectors.

Question: How are you guys deciding that these are VeilSide lights?

that first pic looked like they pulled the relay and used the crank...

That is why I thought they were stock headlights and the Pivot Controller.

wouldn't the light output be horrible if that is the case? not that it matters on a track fd

You wouldn't get any usable light output as the units would point down. However, a lot of guys do this for the "bling" factor and pop up the lights fully when driving.

That means its fine to go sleepy during the day and pop them up fully during the night?

Yes, the Pivot Controller allows you to do this, but (there's always a but isn't there?) it is not a one-step process. I know because I own a Pivot Controller - bought it new for $100, used once, will sell for $50 - thinking I could get it to automatically control my sleepy eyes HID conversion on my FD.

The Pivot unit has a "degrees open" knob you can set to raise your lights to a certain height compared to the stock position. So, for example, you can set this to 30% and when you turn the lights on, they will raise to 30% of the original height. To then get them to raise to full height, you turn the lights off and then turn the adjustment knob t0 100% and turn the lights back on. Repeat as needed:)

It's not the end of the world, just not useful for my application where I wanted the lights to always raise only to the sleepy height when I turned the lights on via the OEM stalk. Ended up modifying the headlight bucket control arm thus, the availability of the Pivot Unit.
