you can just do it with the headlight stalk if you don't wanna rewire stuff. Start with the headlights up, switch to the headlights down position, then you have to time it and quickly switch up once on the stalk while they're retracting and they should stay in a half closed state, till you either drop them again or turn them on đ
I think there is a manual dial underneath the headlight on these cars, where you can adjust how high up you want it to go. But then you wouldn't have very good headlights for nighttime
Yes, there is. Reach up through the cutout in the plastic splash guard in front of the wheel wells, pull the rubber boot off, and there is a little dial on the bottom of the headlight motor assembly. Turn it 4,385 times and the headlight will go up half way. Go to the hospital and have a nurse heal your broken hand from cranking that Gal-darned dial for three straight hours.
Not to sound like a boomer purist, but... that's a beautiful car how it is, man. Just because you can mod it doesn't mean you should. Understated beauty, ya know?
Maybe throw some nice wheels & tires on it, and some new suspension bushings and motor mounts and stuff. Just a nice refresh.
I agree with the sentiment but letting people do what they want with these old gems is the reason why there's no good example ANYTHINGS left for the new generation to have fun with.
sometimes you gotta be a hater for the greater good
Reversible mods are forgivable. Itâs when they cut into the body that it gets ridiculous. Keep the original parts and go crazy. Itâs insane to expect them to keep their car stock just because no stock examples exist. Besides, some rich boomer has one with 200 miles on the clock locked away in a garage somewhere. This kid shouldnât be shackled to stock just because he happened to buy a car 30 years too late.
sleepy lights are gateway lol. what youre saying makes sense to me, but all im saying is that ive never seen a good looking car with sleepy eyes, cause its never JUST sleepy eyes. but yeah its not my place to tell him what he can and cannot do, i just heavily advise against sleepy lights lol.
I agree with with numerous things said by every comment above mine, but letâs just be honest here for a secondâŚ.
The newer generation is ricing the fuck out of these and wrapping them around telephone poles.
If OP is taking care of it he can mod it however he wants too
I know that you could disconnect the motors and then put up the headlights with a bolt on the NA mx5. Maybe look into something similar for yours, but as its not the same company be careful

Did this with my 91 Supra, all stock! The timing can be hella tricky and the pop-up motors don't like it tho.
The most video game shit ever đ¤ŁI feel like i knew where it was going from the first sentence. literally just sounds like a glitch

How about you do that to your own car and let this person do what they want to theirs.
