hey guys, yeah i guess you could say im bored... so im doing the cheap sleepy eye thingy. neway i was going to mount my switch where the cigarette lighter is like ive seen b4 but im too lazy to find a way to make it look good.... so seeing as how that slot next to my window washer light is already taken up by my alarm and my fog/driving light relay switch i took out the light assembly and junk for the window washer light. that hole seems logical and useful. does ne1 think its a bad idea to get rid of that light? i mean i guess it sux when i run out of fluid but who cares. heres a pic that area.. (ignore my bare foot in the corner of the pic)

dude sorry to tell you but on the stock head light switch, the one on the left side of the dash, not the light switch, you can just cut the brown wire and then it will turn into a sleepy switch....takes like 2 secs

exactly. it looks SOOO much hotter with the lights on. i ended up putting my switch right next to my alarm system light and fog/driving light switch. infact what i did was pulled out the little thing that has the window washing fluid light on it, pulled out the light housing and lense and bingo. perfect sized hole just for me. who needs to c if they are low on fluid neway????????? Pics will come soon. here is a link to a pic of how the lights look. its not the best pic. http://memimage.cardomain.net/...l.jpg

Does any one have the Pivot Headlight Half Retractor Unit? Just curious if anyone has it and how well that works?

I've never really been a big fan of the sleepy eyes. hence, mine are down in the daytime, up at night.
