Why didn't you ask the guy? Did you have too much of a man-crush on him to ask?

image the stock pop up heald light covers but tottaly level. no little lip. thats what it was. then there was a bracket on the side holding them in the sleepy eye position. and then they where using what looked like the PIAA tri beams. You can see in this pic how the stock headlight cover curves. the ones i seen today were straight.

One way to do a permanent sleepy eye, is turn the manual raise/lower to where you want. Then unplug the headlight retention fuse beside the battery, this works with lights on and off.
