Ok, I've been searching for this but found nothing.

I was wondering, I've read this before, how can I put sleepy eyes on a switch? on = lights up in working order, off= Sleepy Eye. I saw that Japanese video with the poor subtitles, that is not how I want to do it. I want it to be simple and be activated at the flick of a switch, no turning switches on or off to make the lights open and hope they're even. Can someone help me out, or link me to the information I need?

Pivot makes a switch that will do what you are wanting.

Other than that keep watching the video. All the information you need is in the video.

yeah, I read about that last night. But I was wondering if I could hook the brown wire that you cut up to a switch, so I could have the headlights open without having the headlights on, if I ever need to. Or if I decide I want that. I'd like to have it so I can hit the button, lights go up half way. Put them down, Flick a switch, press the button and have them work normally. No messing with adjustments or worrying timing anything. Is this possible?

No matter what you are gonna have to stop the lights as then are closing or opening and hope you do it at the right level unless you waste money on some sort of controller.

Many have tried & failed. THe only viable option is the Pivot headlight controller, which will set it correctly. Anything else and you have to stop by hand.

You "think" it's just an advanced egg timer, which it may be, but no one has been able to replicate the gadgetry in the pivot controller.

So, if you want pimp style: $60-80 dollars for controller.If you want poor s13 kid style: free

And your questions actually have been answered before... you should "SEARCH"

Of course, hee hee, the price you pay for a "free mod"... or to find out the only way to have it better is to pay $60 dollars!

Reading = FUN!

ok, well I went poor S13 Kid Style. It's pimp. I like it. and I can actually have the headlights open with the lights off, which I didn't know. My dad thinks they look like they are running out of Vaccum power or w/e, (damn domestic people), but I like it, so who cares lol. I'm glad I tried this.

I tried going through results, but my computer is too slow, I managed to find enough info to do it, so it's all good.

You can attach a switch to the brown wire and install the switch some where in the car. The problem with the idea is that you will have to continually flip the switch until the headlights are at the desired level. Unless all the way down or you manually adjust the headlights one headlight will always be higher than the other. Other than the Pivot headlight controler there is no way around it. Now if you follow the directions contained in the video you may be able to get around the headlight issues. Anyway the video shows you how to create the sleepy eye look and lets you turn your head lights on while the headlights are still partially down.

ok, well I did the brown wire trick, works good. My battery is low so they sometimes aren't perfect if you look carefully, but if the battery's ok, they go the same, here's some picsI took these with my phone so there is some glare.And by the way, the car still needs body work, I just need like $2000 more.

yea i want that link also, so what your saying is you connect a switch to the brown wire and it overrides the button so you flick the switch real quick and your headlights go up to you shut the switch off
