Sleepy Eye Kits...

[JappyBeast]

Had my car for nearly 2 years and didnt know you could do this just by playing around with your light controls.

Why bother buying and fitting those kits off eBay when you can do it for free!

My car today,

And if you dont like it.. you dont have to have it!

[Fizz]

dont lie... your motors are cuput... :P

but seriously.. you have had the car 2 years... and you didn't knwo this..

[JohnnyC]

It looks pants IMHO.

If I saw a motor like that I'd think it was broke. If this trend continues we'll all be taking a hammer to our front wings or kerbing our alloys, anything to make our great cars look crap - like the sleepy eye lights.

I think it looks cool.. not gonna go for that look everyday but its nice to have the option for a change. I dont think it looks broke at all.. its just different.

[KiwiMR2]

I think it looks quite cool sometimes....best is when it's sitting dead level, looks nasty

Cheers

How do you do this without the conversion?

When I switch the engine off the lights just retract <_<

When you turn the light off, you quickly flick them back to the first notch, which tells them to stay up (meant for maintance). If you do it at the right time, you can catch the lights half up/down.

Damn you spilling the secrets of the MR2!

Its a cool wee thing you can do to change the look of your two.

Woohoo! bet I break them on the first attempt

[Calisto]

I didnt know 5th gens could do that. My car did that winking thing the other day. I was so proud of her.

[ricomr2]

I take it you guys know how to get the lights on in sleepy mode,

without the kit?

[SMiFFAD]

Ive modified mine a bit to do this automatically ;) and i can switch the lights on while they are "sleepy" which makes for some damn fine sidelights and quite a menacing look

[DeusMR2]

howd you do that without getting a pivot controller?

pinch of pixy dust and a bat wing ;)

I expect if you drove round like that you would probably attract the attention of the local constabulary

Theres nothing illegal about it (obviously i dont use them as mainbeam when its dark!)

[MidShipPilot]

That looks wicked - I love it - my two (mark 1) has controls you turn from inside the bonnet to lift the lights (yes it has the electric option as well ) - is that the same with the mk2?. Will have to try that tonight! <_<

[MidShipPilot]

... and of course it's a very Japanese thing to do

[loonyboyo]

yay finally i found info on this lark lol

cheers

[axgizmo]

ooo ooo oooo me me me! lol

i didnt fit it, it was already on the car. i do think they look ok, but if it didnt have it, it wouldnt bother me. I dont like them enough that id fit the kit myself... but since its there, it gets used lol

Wow, what an old thread!.. My car is still standard RED in this one!

[Kev Mc]

Wow, what an old thread!.. My car is still standard RED in this one!

I was thinking the very same, looks weird after all this time

[McLovin]

it looks terrible, the lights look broke, and you'll look like a d1ck driving with them like it

oh and it will damage the motor mechanism :)

Lots of people go for the lazy eye look!
