so when i got done everything seem to work but only 1 toggle switch work? the other was i guess a dead switch since the other one would bring them both up. but it didnt bother me. then i thought everything was good from there untill i turned then toggle off to put them back down. The lights worked but the damn lights weren't going down. idk i heard the headlight motors were cheap and break easily, or could it be something else. check all the fuses they were all good. I really just want to get my headlights working in normal condition help anyone?

there are much simpler and frankly better ways to do this mod. to me thats just a mess of wires not needed under the hood.

i did sleepy eyes a while back then found out i had no use for lit sleepy eyes since when its dark enough for them to be worth looking at, i just turned on the headlights. :p

i simply cut the brown wire.... i just saw a s13 in town a week ago with sleepy eyes but headlights on at the same time. looked pretty cool. might re do my sleepy eye conversion so that the lights come on
