Sleepy eyes headlight mod
So I love the sleepy eyes on cars like 240s, and I was wondering if anyone has done it with the first gens? If anyone knows about this, share!

quite comon considerd uber rice by most. If you would like to do this mod. Just disable power to the light motors by unpluging them or taking the fuse out however you want. Then crank them up by hand with the little turn **** on the lower portion of the motors.

a japanese company called pivot makes a control box that allows you to adjust how high/low the headlights pop up, when you see all JDM silvia's etc with their lights half up chances are they are using this. Here's one on ebay

to hand crank them down...........
open your hood up and just infront of the battery you can see the head light motor. there should be a **** that has a rubber cover on it pull this cap off and then to the right of this **** is a relay with a plug connected to it... unplug this plug and then hand crank your light up or down.... and repeat on the passenger side.

Been there,about 6-7 years ago I tried the BSP swap.They are a mile off with the hinges and actuators and the lights provided were pure crap.Best way to ruin a 400 doller purchase in my opinion.I ended up fixing them in the up position before tossing the whole mess and going back to stock.Then I succesfully swapped the Mid Tenn Miata flush kit in,right before CP came out with their flush kit.Mid Tenn Miata is gone now,BTW.
