I have a 1989 S13 flipup headlights... How do I make my headlights stay halfway up? do they stay like that when I turn on my lights and turn them off...But if you can help that would be great...Thanks.

You mean the sleeper look.  Check Ebay, they sell a little kit which allows you to control how much your lights are open at all times.  It wires to your head lights and is controled by a dial in your car.

how much are you asking for? Give me a discount price man!

S13Grl · 11-05-2001, 05:29 PM

You can do it yourself. Check the "installs" section on 240sx.org.

Thanks S13grl. That's much easier than trying to go on Ebay and looking for it...Right on!

Now that's just lazy.

I know i am Konkman! But I went to 240sx.org, but there was nothing on how to install the headlights.  Do anyone knows a link or website with instructions on making the headlights look sleepy, or should I say half way up?

Well if you get two friends and some wire cutters you could cut the power to the headlight motor as they reach the desired hight.  Just rewire them to drive at night.  And repeat everytime you want that sleepy look.

That's much easier, and not to mention cheaper.

groundzero · 11-05-2001, 05:52 PM

The thing is that i don't get is how do you get it to the desired height?  when i turn on my lights it goes so fast and goes up so quickly.

groundzero · 11-05-2001, 05:56 PM

Oh plus all that work to rewire when I want to turn on my lights is really not a good idea...Can I do it where I don't have to rewire before turning on my lights?

konkman · 11-05-2001, 06:16 PM

I was joking, could you imagine someone cutting the motor to get the right hight, it would never work.  Work well that is.

Are Pivot controllers legal? Cause if the sleepy look is created, the headlight would not point straight up. Good cause for a ticket.
