Whats everyone\'s opinion on them? Im thinking of buying or making one for mine, cant decide tho :2Rolleyes
Hmm. I don\'t like them - to me they always look like there\'s something broken :).
I do like the \'slimline\' light kits like the Knight Sports one for the FD (or the Moss one for the MX-5) which replace the single headlight with dual, lower profile lights though.
i reckon they look nice on the gen 3 and do help with extra air intake to the filters but not sure about your model ??
yeah ive seen a few on the FD\'s and they look lovely, never seen them on an FC and wondered. I suppose the good thing is that if i fit one and dont like i can just not use it as it doesnt effect ur normal lighting controls :)
i wouldnt bother. they look crap
Get a knightsports headlight kit :yes
Was thinking about it myself, but decided it didn\'t look right on a Gen2.
If you want to have a go though, have a look here :)

The knightsports kit isnt the one that replaces the flip up lights with a fixed mount is it?
thanks dan for that link, that is alot easier than i thought it would be. Seems as its that easy think ill give it a go, can always uninstall in a matter of mins if i dont like it.
Thats a brilliant find there Dan I have been looking for something like this for my FC.
My brother has a lazy eye kit on his celica and I love it. Gonna do this one to mine tomorrow.
Would similar tricks work for an FD ??
I would guess so. Just make sure you get the right fuse.
i did it to my FB again not sure about it but i set it up so it doesn\'t affect anything with a flick of a switch not sure if this link will help?

What I wanna know is how to make the lights \'wink\' now thats cool
The knighsports one replaces the single lense for two smaller square lenses each side, but retains the pop up mechanism. (So the whole thing dosent have to raise as far)
:Giggle
^ and what are the chances of finding a set of them young man:rolleyes:
About the same chance as finding a £50 note in Grinders wallet! :rollin
Look on Taka Kaira - they list them, but I think they work out at around £800...
Or try to find the RE Amemiya lights, they look well fit on the FC :)

Flip them up and down many times in quick succession.
Nice ill give that a go in morning when I can get back to garage
And be prepared to fork out for a relay if you do it too much...

Got an email from mister Amemiya the other day and he would like £900 for the lights, bumper and delivery.... pretty cheap:o :Tongue1

There\'s always a catch :rollin
where\'s these pics of the sleepy eyes done?
must admit i dont use mine much, i think it spoils the lines too much, sometime use them as dusk
the picture was before my headlight upgrade though

Hi Woodsy,is that your FC in your sig-tis a tasty machine indeed.
this is a pic from the US. not really into the sleepy eye bit but going to modify my bumper to look like this. My new project car, soon to be posted on here (when i start it that is)
Hi Bizzaro,
Yes that is my FC in the signature, ive imported it from Japan and infact its due to arrive in southampton today :-) Thank you for the coment.
Im still in two minds about the sleepy eye kit, that pic you\'ve posted pete looks really cool but ive seen others that look really shody. I guess the good thing about them is if you dont like it after fitting it you dont have to use it.
Im definatly guna give it a go, i might be surpirsed.

Good stuff mate,make sure you get some more pics of her posted when she\'s on your drive......have you imported through an agent or off your own back. Sorry to hijack but I\'m tempted to import an FC to play with so I can resist messing about with my FB too much.:D :D
I brought the car off of driftworks/powervehicles but they are exporters only so im having to go thru the import and registration process myself. Its proving to be a bit off a nightmare but im sure will all be worth it once shes on the driveway :-)
I\'ll be posting lots of pics once i get her home.
An FC is a good choice mate, very fun cars. Never owned one myself, well untill now but i have 3 friends who have them and im in love with all of them, their cars that is ;-)
