Sleepy Eye Headlights

[Tintin]

Does anyone know of a sleepy eye headlght kit for an 7 ?

I\'ve seen them for other motas with pop up lights but can\'t find any for a 7

I even found a DIY how to for a probe , so in theory could make one myself but I\'d need a bit more info on the 7\'s wiring for the pop ups

If anyone dosn\'t know what I mean by sleepy eye , its when the lights don\'t pop up all the way , its apparently popular with drifters and can drastically improve air flow into the engine bay ( apparently )

I\'ve seen a few pictures of 7\'s with \'sleepy\' headlights in the States. One in particular had twin round lights on each side....looked fookin awesome! I\'m giving some serious thought to having a go a fabricating my own. As for finding a kit, I wouldn\'t know where to begin. You could try searching the rx7club.com forums for more info...practically every mod for the 3rd gen has been disgussed at length on there.

I\'ll see if I can find that link for the DIY probe lights again so you can have a look , if we can sus out the wiring on the pop up control we should be able to make it work

Nice one, cheers mate. I\'m about to get the front apart on mine so now would be as good a time as any to have a go. Once we got control side is figured out the rest should be plain sailing. Defo want to rig up a pair of round lights on each side.  Beats buying a set of $$ sleek lights.

I\'ll mail you details tomorrow. I sold a car a few months ago with one on.

Check this out! KnightSport sleepy headlights. These cost megabucks but I\'m sure something similar could be rigged up. Cheers Brian, any info would be greatly appreciated!

Here\'s another (smaller) pic

As MillSpeed wrote, there is one available for the RX-7.  Ive got one on mine.  Makes a noticable difference to the willingness of the engine too.  The controller is, as youd expect, a circular knob on a box that adjusts the height of the lights.  It just says Pivot on the box.

The Knightsport kit isnt really sleepy eyed, they just only open half as far.

People need to not buy the Knightsport lights :p

Thats the kit I just sold to Joel Kelly, he\'ll try to get it fitted on the weekend so hopefully he may have some pics soon:)

Heres what it looks like.  Sorry about the dodgy intern pic.  Cameras not got great macro setting.

Hoes does it work , are the headlights up all the time or just when there on ??

The lights can be had open from 0 - 100% dictated by the turn of the knob.  You set the amount desired, turn the lights on full so they open completely.  Then when you turn them off they sit at the desired angle.  To turn them off you simply turn the knob back to 0% and turn the lights on and off and hey presto, they close!  It is not possible to have the lights on and at a certain position other than fully open.  It is simply to get more air into the engine bay and look cool!  :cool

Cheers.
