Sleepy eyes???
 

http://www.drive.nu/img/project/large/71.jpgHas anyone done this mod to a 1G? It's called "sleepy eyes" and most S13 (early model Nissan 240SX) drivers do it to their flip up headlights.

Um, say no to rice. Yes, I've seen it done, even to only one light. It looks retarded.

it's not like I'm throwing a big mouthed body kit on it and it is reversible, I'm just curious as to who has done it, how, and if they have pics.

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

It looks just as stupid on a 1g as it does on a 240SX. Please don't do it.

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

I did that for a while, but only the temp version where you turn the lights on they go back to normal. You can temporarily do it by taking the covers off the adjustment knobs on each side behind the lights in the engine bay, and then turn them which ever way makes them go up.

It looks alright... I only did it for a day.

DSM's break enough on their own, don't "modify" it to look broken all the time.

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

It looks awesome on Conquests. Go for it.

I have this done on mine. There is a way to do this, and not have it done permanently. You have to go under the dash on the passenger side, and find the group of wires under there. One of the wires will have a little white 3 pronged piece in it. You remove it, and you can then control the height of your headlights using the headlight button, and the light switch on the console. If you try searching "chiclet mod" on some other forums, you might find more. If you need any help with this, just let me know.

Hey, it's no more rice then big window stickers!!! :D

I usually just keep my lights fully down, so the light is just shining through the clear lenses. But if it's real dark out, I flip em up.

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

I've done the same. It lets you flip them all the way up or down or anywhere in between. I've got extra fogs where the turn signal used to be so I usually just leave the lights down. It's reasonably bright.

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

Yup, you can put them in any position, anytime you want, from inside the car. And all you do is remove that one little "chiclet" sized thing.

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

lol.... I thought that was a pretty cool mod. I saw somewhere (I think on tuners) that someone used camaro headlights and some how jimmy rigged it so the flip ups stayed down and when you turned on the lights they showed through the stock clear lense dealy. Even though I love flip ups, mine are broken and they stay up and I would rather have them stay down so I think I might do that camaro headlight mod.

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

yeah, i was all about this 6 years ago. It is easier to search for "chiclet mod" to find this deal. It is on the passenger side and it is easily reverseable.
I might actually be doing this. LOL

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

Can someone please explain to me why a mod to make your headlights look broken is cool? If you like it thats fine, to each their own, I am just curious.

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

Just something different to look cool.. like clear corners or black covers, etc. :)

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

Why would someone put carbon fiber parts on their car when plastic and metal work just fine?

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

They do that to make the car lighter and the weight distrobution more even.

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

Pretty sure it was a rhetorical question.... And spelling owned you. It's just something different to do. If you like the way it looks, do it. It's your car, make it look the way you want it to, not how everyone else wants it to look. I, personally, think it's still a little ricey though :P

Re: Sleepy eyes???
 

I don't like the way the lights look up. They look great down. If I need extra light I comprimise by putting them part way up. it looks better than having tall triangles sticking straight up on the front of your car.
