Exclamation Pop-up High beam?

Ok, i found a thread about runing daytime lights on your FC. i'm sure we all seen this. i Apologize if this has been asked b4.

http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/lights.htm

it talks about how you should wire in a switch to turn of and on the headlights when there up......ok?????

this thread talks about the 1st gen rx7 Pop-up high beam.

https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-archive-71/lighting-how-flash-pass-modification-727517/

ok so my question is....

How can i get my 2nd gen rx7 Pop-up headlights to actually Pop-up when i use the high beam switch on the turn signals?

I have replaced my FTP lenses with the JDM FTP lights. My AE86 headlights POP UP when i use the high beam switch... i'd love to have that ability on my FC.


Is it possible to do a mod like this to the 2nd gen?

I believe there is a risk of burning out the switch if its even possible. can someone help me out on this?

I could be wrong about this but the JDM FTP lenses are supposed to light up when you pull the high beam switch when the lights are down. The FBs dont have an FTP option so that is why the pseudo FTP headlight pop up deal.

yes its been covered... but here's another idea for you to decide if you want daytime running lights or a DIY(do it yourself) FTP.

here, follow this link and do something like this or the daytime... either or, its gonna look good.
