    Sleepy Eyes Mod

    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?

    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

    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.

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

    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...

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

    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

    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.

    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
    I will alwayz drive my 3rd gen Accord, ya'll will neva c me driving a 4 door Ford.. lol

    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.
