A buddy of mine is looking to do the sleepy eyes on his TA.. Does anyone have any info? I tried a search, but didn't turn anything up under "sleepy eyes"?

He's got an LT1 TA also.

do you mean where the pop up lights are up a little bit? if so them you can remove the fuse for the pop up lights to get them to stay in a desired place.

i would do that in my turbo II rx-7 but called it snake eyes.

Its dumb, I tried it on my LT1 ta and it didnt look good


But on my 1991 AWD talon, it looks really nice and badass

i don't think it would look that good on a t/a. it looked bad *** on my rx-7 because there were clear lenses below the pop ups that the light would still shine through.

i agree with those guys, not sure how it would look on a ta, but it did look ok on my friends 240...

drivefastforfun is that your car? if so could you please tell us what headlights your using? or if theyre custom etc. And how exactly do you remove the fuse so theyll go to a desired height? i thouhg you had to buy a whole new modulator.

thatd be cool to do if you had the new hella 50mm projectors, but god damn those things are f'ing expensive.

You gotta be joking...you mean u keep the lids up abit.??? .[ you can't mean when u are moving I guess, just parked]

You better build some kind of housing around those lights, or else its going to look cheap....Other wise you on the right track!


Now if you put the stock headlights with stock lights half up it doesnt look so good.....

i was a little confused as well. What i wanted to do is change out the modulator so they still go up, but only to a pre-determined height. The way everyone else is talking iy kinda sounds like always having them up. thats fairly common on 240 sx's i think. even still itd be interesting

I dig the pic on the white bird, yeah you need a housing, but how much did those projector lights cost? It would offer less wind resistance. I like the sleepy lid look better than those breathless performance headlights.

I think it looks badass on a WS6. He's got an LT1 TA, tho.. we'll see, My buddy is bent on doing this and he has a similar sealed design he is working on. Any more advice as fas as the fuse stuff?

I've heard forma couple guys that own 240's that they run a switch to the headlight motor power and flip the switch to cut the power when they want them to stop. I figure that can't be very accurate but then i can't think of a better way to do it lol

I'm the one trying to do the sleepy eyes. I was trying to make them come up just a bit higher to put a projector low and high beam. I like the way it looks and i got this idea from the import guys (240's and RX7). My original plan was to use hella 90mm but, i might try to use projectors off another production car or the hella 50mm. I want use HID's w/these. I have some designs drawn up for myself, i just need to find a junk headlight assembly and start modifying it. So, we'll see.
