Hey, im looking to get rid of the pop-ups but dont have money for the silvia conversion. i was looking to just pivot the headlights down, but at all times. and with the normal headlights, the lights just go to bumper. im looking for something like in the pic i posted, but probly with one or 2 thin(3"X7") lights. im not sure where i could find them or how i would wire them up. any help would be cool. Thanks, Steve

if you want to be able to control the height of your lights just pop out the light button in the cockpit, splice a toggle switch into the brown wire, pop it back in. put lights up (but not on), flip switch off, double click the button til you get the lights however high you want them. you can also have your lights all the way down but still on when you do this. that answer the question?

as far as gettin the lights you want... post up in the classifieds

ps this topic has been beaten to death lol... do a search on it

the second ones are just stock bulbs with a sticker to make the circle light "look" thats why everyone left neg. feedback on him... they thought they were buying the halo like lights, and not a sticker with stock bulbs.... i think its pretty funny!... read the full description before bidding, or else!
