Fitted sleepy eyes to the 180, step by step guide

[Romo]

Right had balls all to do today so decided to take a stab at hooking up some sleepy eyes, anyone who hant done this yet - doooooooo iiiiiiiiiit

Electrical tape, male and female connectors and a switch


1) Disconnect the battery

2) Unscrew the panel under the steering wheel to access the wires behind your headlight motor control button

locate the brown wire that connected to the switch and cut it


then tape up the two ends


3) Remove the fuse cover in the drivers side footwell and take out the 5amp fuse for your headlight motors (dont worry if everything is in jap its the only 5amp fuse in there)


4) Now this is what your going to be wireing up (the fuse in the diagram is the one you removed earlier)


should look like this

5) Run the switch up through the dash to wherever you want to mount it, i had a blank button beside the headlight motor switch so i popped that out and put the switch through there



6) Plug the two male ends into where you removed the fuse from and replace the fuse cover


7) Connect the battery back up

DONE

now how use it....

Make sure your new switch is in the “on” position.

1) Press the head light motor control button in, Notice nothing happens now, its because you cut the brown wire, good.

2) Turn the lights on with your stem switch on the steering council, the head lights should now open, turn them off, Notice they don’t go down, again the brown wire, good.

3) Using the headlight motor control button, lower the head lights to the desired position by pressing the button in and out, this can be tricky since the lids go down once you depress the button, and they stop once you press it in.
NOTE: if you close them all the way, repeat steps 1 and 2 again.

4) Once you finally get it where you want them, turn your new switch to the off position, and the turn your head light on with the stem switch again.

5) Get out and marvel at your new lit sleepy eye look.
If your driving with your sleepy eyes lit and you notice its getting dark, just turn you switch to the “on” position and the head lights come all the way up and on.

RESULT!

Cheers Ro!

I kind of followed it, but used 4 different types of wire, blew 2 fuses and used like 1000 connections cos the crimping tool was being gay

Pics when my bluetooth cops itself on!

haha good man dar

as for the feckin lights being at different heights its a pain in the hoop... theres an ajustable thing on the top of the pop up motors but no matter what way i turn it it doesn seem to do anything.... although if you turn it really fast the light pops up and then goes down again

[Nicky]

That would be the manual way of getting them up and down for servicing

Have fun trying to get them balanced.. Its a pain in the rock'n'roll

[Romo]

yeah figured it was something like that... i think new motors are probably the only way so ill just make do for now

[nixon001]

go all the way down with both lights, n count the amount of full rotations back up on one side nd den copy it on the other light... new motors wont balance them out, there on a reg, as in a set path so the motors arent connected to where they go, they jus send them up nd down...
