Lit Sleepy Eyes (NOT using pivot controller) for $10 or less

[Florida240sx]

The way I did it was: Snip the wire and set my headlights to desired level. Pull fues out of inside kick panel.Turn lights on. Hit high beams and they fully reopen.(in case a cop comes for you) I also jsut wired a toggle switch to my fuse back and had full operation.Currently I just set my headlights and then disconected the motors. I got foglights to aid me in seeing at night.

Mrgreenyes. it didnt work. i did everthing you did. what happens now. is that i connected everthing then lastly i reconnected the brown wire. when i pushed it back it the pop ups poped up but did not go back down even after several times of pushing the button.so now my lights stay up.

[dickie]

can someone verify this information? its definitely article worthy if it works 100% of the time

[xckid]

... hold on itshould work it is proably just me

[xckid]

grrrr the lights wont come up the turn on but not up. i flip the switches(by the way i bought two.) and nothing . I hit high beams and nothing . all i hear is a clicking sound coming from the engine bay near the battery. help.

[xckid]

....k under the intake box is more relay's and what not. the h/l RET Down is ticking . That is the one for the pop up button. I took it out it stop ticking . one tick gone The other tick is coming from the battery area. Could these be blown.

Can you turn on your high beams doing this method, becasue you can't doing the brown wire method?

[xckid]

....me ...my lights dont even pop up. i had to undo all the wiring i did and put it back to normal till i find out whats wrong....i could turn on my high beams during brown wire method.

Awesome write-up, great details and pics, should be put into the faq or somewhere where it gets the credit it deserves

I dont think this works for the SOHC 240's Only DOHC becuse I did it on my SOHC and it dident work. There are like three diferint realys for the lights on SOHC 240's.

One time, I cut the brown wire...then I realized there isn't much point to making my car look broken when its not, so I taped it back up.

[lord_hypnos]

Gah where'd the pics go!

[slideways92]

my lights are stuck up well not all the way like the last click before its all the way? It was working great but then my friend and i hit the switch and the up down button just for the lights at the same time and it made a click? and now they are stuck up we checked all of the fuses and they are fine? We can hear a sound comeing form the relay box under the air filter? what did we break? or what are we doing wrong NEED HELP ASAP!!!! GOTTA DRIVE IT TOMMOROW

Awesome! Nice writeup bro!

[Gottoknow]

It lives! Haha I remember seeing this write up in the tech page when I first found NICO and was looking around the site.

[I_Farted]

Nice writeup!!! =]

[Nis-240sx-san]

This is the same way I did the sleepy eyes on my hatch like 7 months ago. Here is how mine turned out.Nice write up

I haven't checked this out; but is it possible to adjust your lights (i could on my old eclipse) to point where you want?In that case you could adjust them to point in the correct direction in lazy eye position and thus be able to drive at night like that... I'll try to find out, but it's an idea if anyone gets there first.

[kornmanz]

yeah this is pretty old lol.

I never understood why ppl do sleepy eyes. Yeah it looks a little cooler but it takes away from function...cant see shizz when your lights arent fully open.

[fallingjetengine]

Useless if the bulbs aren't adjustable, but if they were you could make it so they point right. i'll check tomorrow... But it seems weird that i've never heard of anyone at least checking... maybe i'm dumb :P

[rman]

I know this is old as hell, but does anyone still have the pics?

Or better yet, can anyone tell me exactly which relay to use, and which relay box? I don't have a wiring diagram for my 92 coupe, and I don't want to mess anything up. I can do everything else just fine.

EDIT: Nevermind. Went to Youtube and found a good vid. D'oh.
