This is easy. My friend did this on his FC using Advanced Auto Parts fog lights. You just use the wires from the stock headlights to the fog lights or use power from somewhere else and wire it to a switch in the cabin, disconnect the head light motor to the laziness you want. Make brackets to hold the fog lights or use zipties to hold them and your set.

You use the fog lights as headlights. It is pretty much if you want a permanent lazy eye look. Surprisingly enough the halogen are just about as bright as HIDs.This is the FC we did it on. The lights are bright as hell.

idk i guess my concern would be light output, if its bright enough then alright..

but inspection in some areas can be a pain... my uncle has a 944 that he installed Eurospec headlights that are have a yellow housing and are dim... if he didnt know the guy who inspects it im sure it wouldnt fly, he cant drive it at night

Down here in Florida we are lucky enough to not have and inspection. So I guess when buying the fog lights make sure they are DOT approved or something. I don't know other states laws so I am not sure what procedure you will need to take to make them work.

And yes in my opinion sleepy/lazy eyes are played out.

I posted the pic of the FC we did that setup on. If you can't see it search "Tight Work! RX-7." It should be on the first page.

I had this on my car for quite awhile but the lights were constantly coming loose and flopping around so I bought new brighter ones that I am going to be installing on saturday probably with a write up.

That is EXACTLY what im doing to my hatch this weekend! Do you have the lights wired so you have high and low beams? and if so, could you tell me exactly how you did that? I could prolly figure it out, but help would be appreciated....
