Sleepy eyes

ok, i'm sure this has to be a repost but i can find it, are there any companies that make sleepy eyes kits for rx7's? do you have to make them yourself? i want some but dont know where to find them.

I thought they sold some electronic doo-dad on Ebay that would make this an option. Search over in the 2nd gen. forum, it gets asked like every other post.

The sleepy eyes mod is universal for any cars with pop-ups. My friend has them on his MR2.

You plan on doing that to the 84 that you are going to get from me? If it looks good I might try it on my 88 Quest. Gary

I was looking at doing the flush mount with the two light s and the clear lexan cover but had a friend do his andd looked like crap and he had hell with them working on and off.. I had two people stop buy today interested in car but i have a sign in window of car that reads "do not ask if car is for sell, it's not" I have another one on my Quest. She is going into the shop while I am in Hospital to have my engine upgrades done, chrome hardpies, 3" catless exhaust, new Faze gauges where the AC/Heater contols use to be and my Big 16G turbo

The Pivot half unit will work on any car with pop up lights. I wired mine without butchering a single factory wire.

I think the car looks like it has down syndrome when it has "sleepy eyes."
