Sleepy eye mod?

Has anyone developed a sleepy eye mod for the Firebirds? Its common on 240SX's and Ford Probes. Basically the headlights are altered to only open partway so as to avoid "ugly mode" and to provide and effect like the Acura NSX headlights. I want to do the "sleepy eyes" mod in a way that would retain the motor functionality. I have one headlight motor out, and could possibly just do a permanent sleepy eye, but want to replace the motor and have them move.

I think I would then either adapt 93-97 Camaro headlights to fit or make a projector setup to work with the low eyes. Here is a picture of a Probe with the mod I'm talking about:

came in thinking the same thing. :laugh:

To anyone else on the road besides 240sx owners they just think their headlights are broken.

I think I'm going to crank my headlights down and do a walk around and see how it would look. I don't know how it would look on a Firebird, but I just want my car to be unique, and thought of this as a possibility. I really just wanted to see someone who had done it before to decide if I want to do it or not. If I do it I will make sure its reversible in case I end up not liking it.

On a tangent though, anyone have fog lights in their 93-97 Formula/Base nose? I'm trying to decide on what foglights I want. I work at AutoZone and we have some projector fogs I'm thinking about trying.

Imho fogs look stupid on formulas. My 2 cents.

Were there even factory fog lamps on formulas. I would invest your time in to making a projector hid setup for your factory lamps if you are going to take the time to modify your lighting. Nothing from Autozone, Which I believe they carry the Pilot brand and I sold those at my old job are bascially worthless.

x2. also... anything with pop up lights generally looks stupider with them up. why would you want them half-way? it's mind-bottling!!! that's why we have parking lights. and to base this off of an import model? on a firebird? whhhhhaaat? my brain hurts. if i saw a bird driving around with this sleepy eye whatever, i'd probably take a hammer to it and fix it. :P
