well what ive seen is to pull the headlight motor fuse. Then just crank the headlights up by hand. I did this on my dsm and i believe its possible on the fc. I havent seen any kits for it or anything like that but it should be that hard to wire up a switch to make the headlights only go half way up. The only downside to taking the fuse out is they are always halfway up but i think it looks awesome that way so.... anyway good luck.

yeah, i dun want it to stay stuck half way up all the time. Thats why im thinking of ordering this controller. But then again i dunno if ur regular headlight switch will work and go all the way up wen u use the stock switch

Some of the older guys on the forums like to call this the "gay eye mod" too...

I think it's pretty retarded for normal driving myself... not that it's necessarily unsafe... just think it looks like your car is stoned... doesn't say a whole lot for the driver.

I could see where it might be useful to know how to do it... just to be a showoff or something... *shrug*

I personally call it the "the retarded eye syndrome" mode. Alot of my friends have 240's, and none of them are um......that gay. It's really some sort of teeny bopper thing. Go back to HS where you belong.

Headlight Controller-Drift Look

Somehow the title reads like an Ebay listing would. I was hoping it would be like a moving headlight thing so your lights would move like you were drifting so you could fool your friends from far away. Or better still a drunken headlight controller so your headlights would move all over the place causing other drivers to get disoriented and crash.

why spend that much money on something you can do for free? Go under the hood, unplug the headlight motors on each headlight, get undercar and use the adjustment ***** to lower the headlights to your liking.

Turn them on and experience how little light you actually get.

That'd be cool if you could control each light individually. Like make each one pop up on its own, in an alternating pattern...or like wink one light at a hot lady.

Dammit, there is too much unnecesarry flaming in this forum, and criticizing people about things they like when theres really no point in giving your stupid negative opinion that nobody cares about. Nobody thinks youre cool when you say things like "OMG THATS RICE" or, "THAT LOOKS SO DUMB"...i guess you people that say that hope other people will agree with you so you can feel good about yourself..
How about instead of being ******** when you post, you just dont post at all, or give some actually helpfull information... even say "try searching" instead of "omg that looks so gay" or whatever.
TurboIIRyan gave a good response..


Anyways, to answer your question, you could a headlight conversion where you actually use smaller/flatter lights, so you could do the sleepy eye look AND have full visability at the same time. This is what I'm going to do.
