Sleepy eyes?

[240crawler]

I understand the idea of sleepy eyes for my s13, but where did the idea come from? How can I make my lights the same? I tried to adjust the red knob, it looked good until I turned on my lights. When I turned them off, they went all the way down again. How can I solve this problem. In order to be unique, I want my lights up. Of course, there is only one other 240 in my town, an s15 driven by a fat girl.

Also, I hear bad things about Pacesetter headers, but I can get one for $15 at the local pick and pull. Will it be worth the effort to change them out. I am strapped for car money because my Mustang project is still rolling. Just purchased BBK tuned equal tube headers and 30lb/hr injectors.

ok for sleepy eyes. Pull out the button that controls the headlights. It should be on the left side of the driver's console. Anyways, when you pull it out, snip the only brown wire in there. Then you can put it back in (of course cover the loose ends up).

Wala! Done. Free sleepy eye mod.

Now to work it, turn on your lights. Click the button so when you turn off the lights, they will stay up. Now quickly press the button on then off. really fast. You should see the head lights go down then stop. Keep on doing that until the desired height of the sleepy eye's is met.

Will I have to do this every time I use my lights?

unless you get this http://www.prolightstar.com/el....html

which i would recommend more ... infact search around and I saw someone selling theirs for like $75

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

No. Just dont' depress the button down. like when you turn on your lgihts, don't click the button to leave them up while the lights are off. You'll et what i mean. but to answer your question, no you dont' have to do that all the time.

[dickie]

how did a fat girl get an s15 registered and legal to drive over here?

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

it's probably just a front end conversion. oh and nissan parts, you don't have to do it all the time. that switch is a waste of money

[240crawler]

I cut the brown wire. You guys are full of ****. I have to push the button twice for the lights to fall, yes, but they are at different heights and the little red knobs do not compensate. When I turn my lights on then off, they stay at the top like two happyass retards. And, my harness is too short to repair where I cut.

Fat girl has a RHD s15. No title, tag from a 1997 of same color. She has no worries, as her father is a State Trooper in the next county. And she really isn't that fat. I mean, I would boink her for a drive (only like 180 lbs, but is like 5'10")

Got the Pacesetter headers, traded 2 for it. It looks like it was painted with rust, but I may put it on this weekend. I needed an excuse to run new 2.5 piping anyway. Have a Borla muffler left off of my Vette I may ghetto-rig.

Still waiting on shipment from Summit. Those guys suck donkey nuts!!Waited for month and a half because injectors are on backorder. I told them to send my MF headers-- $29.95 extra shipping total, I can wait.

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

first of all. thats what it is supposed to do. second of all you have to adjust your headlights. no matter what you can still adjust those headlights, and those instructions are right. thats what you ARE supposed to do. Press it twice. read carefully to what i explained.

i can find a whole group of people who have done the brown wire trick and tell you that it does not work or is just not as good as a proper switch such as the pivot. also you get people who try it *wire cut* and HATE the results. thats why i recommend a product over a jimmy rig....because this i declare a jimmy rig in terms of easy use and properly functioning.

The problem with THIS sleepy eye mod is that you cannot turn the lights on while they are aimed down.

thats spoken from a wiring master. nothing against you SilviaS14KA24DE just not a fan of a mod like this...there are better ways of doing things and this iMO is not one of them.

Why is this thread in the KA engine forum?

Why is this thread in the KA engine forum?

Appearantly we needed a good arguement?

We should just hijack the thread and talk about SRGood-n-Plenty's

HA!

Cutting the brown wire works. Why the heck would you spend $105 for a switch?

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

seriously

[driftoy]

i had some wires my mechanic rigged up. it worked till i messed with the "doors ajarred" bell near the fuses. then pulled out those wires and switches that were hooked up to the headlight relay. man, they were perfect. i say plug and play those relays and see wutcha get. i havent tryed it...... so anybody know wats gonna happen?

[Dmnitsadean]

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

[240crawler]

I will try to adjust the arms with the nuts at the top. Better idea than the wiring that I effed up. Lights go down right if I leave the switch in the out position. Adjusting the red knobs does NOT help.

Back to my other question, is it worth the effort to change to the pacesetter headers, because I do hear they suck?

If they will only help a little, or cost torque, I will sell them to an idiot at work with an 89. He thinks DOHC headers will fit his single. What a waste of a hatchback, with like 65 hp. He has never heard of changing plugs, oil, or cleaning his air filter.

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

Megan racing makesvery good headers. I'm buying them this friday. I've read good reviews on all other cars.

And you can suck my d!ck. If you read earlier posts from me, you would see that I had to sell my used Vette for no money( I was poor). My Mustang is a total with a salvage title and a lot of time saving up for parts. My bike is an 88 model; cost $350- not like that is alot. So please, find a job better than McDonald's and you can have a few things too.

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.

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

first of all cutting the wire won't **** up anything period. How can it short if it's not touching anything. also sure you can play w/ the arms, but then the lights don't go all the way down, and you risk people messing around with your lights.

Dmnitsadean, your opinion is just as good as anyone else's, but you don't have to cuss about how other people have done their stuff. If you look at all the posts from before, its' pretty much 50/50 what people think about the headlight mod. there are plenty of ways to do it for sure.

Just don't get butthurt and angry at other peoples opinion.

omg... this is what I do and what i've always done. Go unplug the harness from each of the headlight motors and then just use the red knobs to get them the hight that suits you... when you are tired of the sleepy eye just reach down and plug em back in .... i tried the wire cutting method and it blows. the headlights are not even. but it can now let me turn my lights off withouth my headlights going down.. if i want them to go down i hit the switch then turn the lights on and off and they go back down, it's nice. Hey, dammit sean... why don't you share your genius ideas with us? You seem like a pretty smart guy!!!!

You have a great idea. I don't know why I never thought of this. Will do as soon as I get home. Never underestimate a female, guys.

Maybe to some, but torque is good, and my KA lacks torque. Besides, I got laid much more in the C5 than ever in the 240. Maybe I got uglier, but I doubt it as I can't get much worse. Besides, I wil have the best of both worlds when I cram the 347 in the 240. The sound should be enough.

hahaha did you just say the ka lacks torque.. NO your wrong.. it lacks horsepower and revs. the ka is very torquey and turbo and other mods will just unleash its full torque and hp ponential.

I realize that the KA is very strong in torque for a 4 cyl, but I want that bottom end that can only be had by very large displacement. Because I cannot fit a 429, I believe that my stroker wil be the best bet. I do not like high RPM any more. I still send the KA to redline at least 10-15 times a day, but I need it to blow so I have a valid excuse to give to the missus for the swap. The KA is not as rev happy as my turbo Integra, but I like it better for daily drives. Money problems and a huge lazy streak have prevented me from having what I want. I am using the 240 as a cheap daily drive, but am ready for some excitement.

[Nismochick240]

okay im confused-- which is better what tiger said or cutting the wire?? the big question i have is CAN you turn your headlight OFF N ON like normal or do you have to do some sort of trick hit this button twice sort of deal to get them on and off??
