Sleepy Eyes Mod

[RedneckRicer]

So what does it take to do this? is there some special bracket they provide to increase the angle you can adjust your headlights? or is it something it does to the headlight? i've been looking into it and i find all ford probe shyt, is there a way i could do this to my accord or my friends '86 MR2?

[Chrome_thangs]

If i'm not mistaken it involves wiring something to your exsisting lights.

[xbi0s]

someone posted about this once

If I recall correctly, they said it was a huge pain in the ass because of the way the motors and all that shit are hooked up in our 3gee

The probes it works on the 93-97 body style, which had a different system of opening the lights. In their case, I think it was a knob resistor to make the sleepy eyes....

I might be wrong on that one though :stick:

[86AccordLxi]

On the MR2 there's a knob on the headlight (i'm pretty sure). I know on the MkII Mr2's there is a knob. We did this on my dad's MR2 for a while but he put it back normal since he though it looked stupid. Looks much better on the 2g Mr2s.

[MrBen]

The knob method does not work for 3g's, or at least for mine. And it does look stupid.

[SiR]

A way to see it is to disconnect the fuse for the headlight motors and setting them manualy. It looks like it might look dumb, who knows...

[MrBen]

Or you could just jump up on top of your headlights and jump on them until they look sleepy.

[Coitis1]

lol. it would mess up the angle of ur lights if u did the sleepy mod and it probably doesnt look that good. but if u wanna try it go ahead. make sure u post some pics for us.(or me at least)

[RedneckRicer]

my friend is more interested in doin it on the MkI MR2 he has, i was kinda wondering what it'd be like on ours since it has to move so damn much compared to the probes or MR2's. i personally think it'd look cooler to make some sort of projector setup within the place of the standard flip up, like the ones for RX7's or the MKII MR2s

[rare_89lxi_coupe]

i didn't read all posts completely so forgive me if i'm repeating someone but the mod doesn't look right. it looks like the motor is messed up. our cars need to look as clean as they were when they rolled off the lot, the smallest thing can make them look like crap.

[lilgreenhonda]

i can get anyone the module to make your headlights do it

[MrBen]

Sleepy eyes on our cars look like crap. End of story.

[3G Jester]

oh jesus thats the most retarded idea ever!!!!

STOP doing drugs!!!!! STOP!!!!
thats retarded!!!

[89AccordLXI666]

I know what can make your head lights look cool with out making em look sleepy, and that will attract womens attention... hit the button repeatedly that makes just the head lights flip up simultaniously and your headlights will wink.... LOL so everytime u see a hot girl walking by your way, just use the flip light button to give em a lil wink..... LOL just a thought... Lataz LOL

[Microstreak]

sleepy eyes look retarded IMO. not only are people going to look and laugh at it, your gonna see less at nite(if anything at all) and did i mention they look retarded?

[lilgreenhonda]

its true they do look pretty ghey on the 3g. but with the road race cars like the 180 and miata it serves a purpose.

[3G Jester]

intirupt one of the circuts if you want to wink.....hook up another switch. dont burn your motors by pressing the button till they wink

[buzzbomber88lx]

Isnt there a little rubber stop thing for the headlight to know where to stop when it flips up? I think if you would put something on that rubber thing it would stop a little before it hit that and that wouldnt be very hard to do if it worked.

[lilgreenhonda]

for those of you that LIKE the sleepy look, i just made my own controller out of a switch and some wire. and yes the heardlight still go up and down fully. SO AT NIGHT YOU CAN SEE. and no it doesnt look bad. IMO. but whatever its my car and i like it

[lilgreenhonda]

does it look stupid? I dunno why but i like it alot

[Blue Impact]

Kinda cool. I'd like to see it from the side too. Yeah, I might try it. Why don't you post a how-to.

[lilgreenhonda]

sounds good...will do the how-to

[badmonkeynobanna]

I ould like more info on the switch and wire hookup if any of you got it

[maxoutracer]

i think it's u-neek... good job!

[pimp86LX]

lol it looks like your car is high or something..

[hondaman87]

Before starting to do any work, have all of the necessary supplies and tools ready to go. What you will need:

-Wire cutters

-Electrical tape

-Soldering Iron or Butt Connectors

-Off, On momentary, Stay On !2 volt push button switch

-Some extra wire

[steven]

could i just use like one of those switches with the roll thing on it like the dash light dimmer?

[NXRacer]

I found a add on circuit that you put inline somewhere that makes your headlights do this. Its about $80 + s/h. If anybody is interested, i'll post the website. I emailed the place that sells it and they said you can make your headlights have the sleepy look.

I think that looks hella cool IMO. I'm probably gonna do it to mine when i can afford it (of if i can do it myself w/out having to buy the thing).

[c20v6turbo3rdgen]

I wanna do it but I want to get the Small little Headlights that go inside of the camaro i think it is. the ones that are like 4 or 5 inches long and the are about 2 inches high. I want to custom mount those inside a box and install those at the top so when the sleepy convo is up you have lights that are projecting out straight..

[c20v6turbo3rdgen]

can someone translate that ford probe wireing to our cars

[Own3d]

its gay

[gameoner]

i dont think that it looks that stoooooooooopid, but its not something that i would nessaceruly do to my car:stick: :sadwave: :stick:

[89accordLXiAllAudio]

lilgreenhonda ever follow thru on the how-to? i would love to do that to my car

[89accordLXiAllAudio]

damnit i hate when people say theyre gonna post something and then they dont

[NXRacer]

Heres a bolt on sleepy headlight mod:

[89accordLXiAllAudio]

well i was tired of waiting to be told how to do it, so i made a temporary sleepy eye mod. i took out the fuses for the head light retractors. then i used that little knob to set it to the desired height. hopefully if you do this, you dont live out in the woods or something, cause you really cant see shit with the lights like that. but when i got tired of it/had to go up in the woods at nite, i just took the fuses, and put them back in and it worked like normal again. not quite as cool, but it was fun for a couple days.

[LoKo498]

Does anyone know how to make the headlights flap back & forth with the lights on like the toyotas? I know the Toyots can do this but I dont know how if anyone can post it.

[Murphy_lxi]

lilgreen... is that a cf hood? If it is, will you give it to me.... I will worship you..... I will.... I will sodomise you in fact....

[lostforawhile]

since someone brought it back from the dead,does anyone have a wiring diagram for the lights? I know how to make this work,have for a long time,I just need a diagram.

[crazykamper]

how exactly do i do it?? i would wanna try it, and see how it looks.... how do i turn the nob thing, like said if you take out the fuse, where exactly is the nob or whatever i turn, (pictures are best!)

[lostforawhile]
