Sleepy eyes?

[DjPantsSpecR]

on my hatch i did the cut the wire thing, and it really worked well for a while, and then they got uneven and they are still uneven.

on my coupe i just disabled the motors, which i highly recommend (actually my car has a weirdo electrical problem and only one light moves up and down, but when you press the headlight button it shuts off my driver side headlight, its actually kinda cool, i can wink my headlights at you)

but if you want useful headlights adn you demand your car to look stoned all the time i recommend you do what i did. Ditch the headlights all together, pull the harness from the headlight motors, and buy a set or two of foglights. Gut one set of foglights and put your headlight bulbs in there. Then mount this and maybe even another set or circle foglights on the top beam of the headlight assembly. Now you always have working headlights, that actually point somewhere, and you dont have to mess with the knobs ever again.

i have one set of circle foglights and one set of rectangular fogs with headlight bulbs for my headlights, and then i stuffed another set of fogs in the grills on the front bumper.

its bright and it looks SO SO good when its on, plus during the day i can just turn on the circle fogs and it looks like i have daytime running lamps ( i really need to get you guys a picture)

this is absolutely necessary for me because i use the headlight as a scoop for my cold air box, and with everything removed the path for the air feeds directly into the cold air box

so to answer your question again, just pull the harness or the relays, i just pulled relays

[Nismochick240]

do you have a picture of what that looks like??

[DjPantsSpecR]

i do, but its on a cell phone and i dont know how to get it off, plus its not my cell phone.

if you really need to imagine it, imagine one one and a half inch circle light on the outer part of the headlight and one three inch by 1 inch rectangular light on the inside. and of course, the light is only up about three inches or so

uh on some phones you can send to an email... if you can my email is [email protected]

no, the bad thing about cutting the wire is when you do the double tap on the button.. the headlights aren't even... one is further down than the other. I think my way is best... I saw one guy over in japan that had a toggle switch that he wired into the relay and made it work really nice... one of those toggle switches that don't switch up and down... the ones where you just push up or down on it and it adjusts the headlights... with them on... ....

[DjPantsSpecR]

sorry, all crappy photo's but i hope you get the gist of it... you also cant realy see but i got rid of the headlight surrounds and made some sides out of aluminum

[240crawler]

I unplugged my harnesses as was informed above by the kind lady, and am very happy. Light pattern at night is horrible, but gives a cool glow to the ground in front of the car. Simply turn off the lights and replug the harness and you are good to go. Adjust height with the red knobs.

Sorry, I just realized that you are probably another effing 13 year old on here to act cool with your friends because you can look at JDM Drift Tyte pictures when you whack off.

[240crawler]

Yeah, I get a little frustrated when some boy calls me a liar. Now, if I still had my C5, I would not be on NICO, now would I? But I enjoy the help and the entertainment that most of the kind people here give. I have learned many new things about a very unfamiliar car, and for that I am forever grateful.

I loving wat you did dj can you give us a right up I would llike to have a project like that thanx....DEan

[Dmnitsadean]

bumb!!

[DjPantsSpecR]

ha, you really followed this for that many months waiting for my write-up?

its not that difficult. One set of square foglights, then gut them and retrofit for H4 bulbs. One set of round foglights.

then you unbolt the black headlight houseings and the top headlight covers. Drill holes and mount. I made the sides out of sheet metal. Eventually i changed the round bulbs to the turn signals and the former turnsignals evolved into foglights....

anywho thats the ultra-abbreviated way of explainging how to do this. if you still dont understand jsut say the word adn ill do the write-up, but only cause you waited so long...

Use Q-Beams instead

[YOUNG240SX]

that was easy just play the movie that read everyone fuking idea of how to do this **** thankz

[DjPantsSpecR]

i have no idea, what just happened here

additionally, what are Q-beams?

[rsmithdrift]

IDK, but you have the EXACT set up I want in those pics and I wan't to know how the HELL you mounted those lights in the headlight housing like that. I was looking at some H4 bulbs that are the same width and half the hight and plug in and work just like factory bulbs, I just don't have a clue how I would mount them in the headlight housing.

[DjPantsSpecR]

are people actually interested in this? seriously it cost a grand total of 50 dollars for two pair of foglights and a set of bulbs.

all you have to do is cut out the H3 hole, and modify your H4 bublbs to fit in. attach them however you can, i remember mine involved cutting the H4 bulbs to fit flush with the headlight housing. When **** is so cheap you dont have to feel bad about destroying anything, even though its hard to really mess anything up.

headlight housing? you could buy off ebay stock-sized headlights that use H4 bulbs, however these are much, mucher smaller gutted foglights. its that simple, i still dont understand why people are paying out the *** for that four circle angel eyes headlight conversion thing-a-ma-guy

[S13FX]

OR You can do what I did and really uglyfy your car and be called a ricer forever heh. Go E-Bay and buy the Angel Eyes head light conversion. I did a while a go. At first I was like OMG what have I done, but at least now I can actually see where Im going at night :p. And I have the most unique 240SX around hehe. Il post some pics when I get them. Note I did some mods to those lights so their actually reliable. Also I was having some weird electrical problem with my car, where the stock light would always short right at the plug in. Well due to the new head lights having their own Ground, Fuse, and a relay at least they are a lot more reliable now. So yah maybe I did sacrifice the looks of my beloved car, but at least now I have reliability.

BTW I got the headlights for free. DjPantsSpecR is right that is way too much to pay for something you can make your self and not make the car ugly. But hey for me it was more of the whole electrical reliability issue

[VinceSez]

you do that boyeeeeee!

[stev0]

wow okay for thos dumbasses that doesn't really know how to sleepy eye why would you fcukin cut a wire that can conflict with your set up of the headlgiht...stupid....well I did it a special way were you can mess with the motor but yo9u guys have to think and mess with it yourself Freakin retards fukin cuttin a wire dat doesn't really bother much but mess with the motor due to shortage of electrical dumbfuks hahhah...well all i have to say is mess with the motors ARM there now you can figure it out yourself I did mines in a jippy.....DeAn

P.S. thanx to the dumbasses with the riced out 240's dats fcukin with configuration

Oh and DjPantsSpecR, I bet if you made those for people you'd make a pretty penny out of it.

[AelSic]

Lay off the crack rock! You make incomprehensible posts. I lose brain cells everytime I try to read your posts.

[Suicide.Veteran]

did we establish that pacesetter and monza suck and crack easily, and no matter how much you pay it will always be a waste of money?

[9Dsx_Drvr]

Ok so your first question was where did the sleepy eyes originate from.

I don't think anyone answered. I did a search and didn't find it.

Does anyone know????

[DjPantsSpecR]

i remember reading a post saying that in japan courteous drivers with pivot controllers, and pehaps poorly adjusts HIDs, would set the lights to "sleepy" as to not blind on-coming traffic at stop lights...

but thats the only thing ive ever heard

[Florida240sx]

I did have a trick to do sleepy eyes form inside car and have them stay on. But Now I switched to h4 bulbs. I got foglights in my grills as well. I have now manually adjust my motor where I want them and disconnected the plug. I know ride with my high beams on and no flashes me because they are half closed.

That is correct, or at east from my experiences. Last summer i went to Oki for 4 weeks. At night when my friend Misaki was driving us back home from sight seeing in her gts-t, she would switch to running lights at the intersections. It keeps one from blinding another with powerful headlights (Japan is less restrictive on headlight brightness and stuff) and it would also help to determine who would go first at intersections. I know it was also used so kouki drivers who turned their bumper marker lights into lamps could have running lights.
