take out the headlight retractor fuse?

im not sure how the sleepy eye conversion works.

you could always get someone to put the lights up and then pull out the fuse at just the right point :P

Thanks for all your help guys, i was hoping it was going to be a little easier than that as i\'m not too hands on, but i\'ll try and get the courage to have a go without braking something. As for the headlight kit, i\'m interested if you can find me someone japanese who fancies translating it for me, my japanese is a bit errr, rusty...
 
Thanks Again guys

Maybe this thread\'ll sway your opinion. If nothing else, it\'ll probably give you a good laugh!
