Sleepy eye mod. It makes your headlights look broken.

It is a "custom" mod ricers do to their car. No Rx7 nor any other pop up light equipped import came with this feature.

It looks way better on a s13 ( 89 to 94 240sx ) not so much on the 7s.... That's my veiw on it. I agree with RR88 looks broken... instead of making them sleepy... make em wink... looks better...

Be aware that breaking your headlights in this way will make them ineffective for driving at night. So everytime it gets dark, you need to crawl under the car and readjust the lights.

Also, everyone else on the road will think to themselves "That shitbox has broken headlights". And the hotrod people will think "Stupid ricer".
