Couldn't you just modify the light's housing so that at your chosen amount of "sleepiness" the headlights point straight ahead?

how come noone has made a mod that just takes out the motor and the whole unit to where the lights sit just like they do in the FD's? that would seem alot better IMO. Cause sleepy looks terrible and normal their just too high up. I mean i understand what look your going for with sleepy but why not just like an FD headlight conversion kit?

Some purpouse-built drift cars will weld the light fixture in place and remove the motors. Some will go as far as using twin aftermarker round foglight-sized bulbs in there kinda like the Knightsport kit they have for miatas.

I thought there actually was a Knightsport kit for the FC which looked like the miata one. Isn't there?

i think sleepy eyes are alright for show cars or while your just sitting there but they arent that good for driving at night.
