 Custom Lights on ST185/ST185 or Mk II/III Supra

Has anyone done or seen a conversion to make the pop-up headlights on the above cars to make them only come up half way, with two smaller round lights (or something similar)?
A website with pics or info on this would be cool, even if its another car with this mod, so i can at least get an idea on whats involved.
Thanks all.

The half-asleep headlight look is gay. Why go to all that effort to make your car look stupid?

chuckles!
not only is it well pointed out to be gay , but wouldnt it mean that your lighting power would suddenly be as effective as say - shining a pencil torch into the distance ?
Stick with a decent H4 conversion or similar - up the bulb ewattage and put in the appropriate relays - and be safe !

no you can stick them in that position if you REALLY wanted to by manually winding them.. take the cap of the little winder and wind away!

time for a serious answer
manually winding them doesnt work
you need to install a stepper motor controller that will allow you to adjust the 'zero' point of the motors to a new position. that way you can still get the things to then pop up and down when you turn the lights on....
that said - its a fuckin ridiculous idea. the ONLY reason you could EVER contemplate doing it, would be if you removed the headlight glass, and used it as a cold air intake port - see GT's avatar for an example on the MA70...

Or you need lights like mine. Crank it all the way fast, and the lights dont come up. Bring it back a notch and they come up. If you crank them all the way, then click it back for a second to set them where you want....found out by accident...
Doesn't change the fact its ghey...

Yeah, very gay.
I have seen a mk3 around Adelaide with this conversion done. And not only does it looks stupid, but the lights a)aren't effective and b) point everywhere but where they are supposed to.
And I don't drive a commonwhore either, mk2 or ke70 for me

Im agreeing with everybody else..... GAY GAY GAY ;p A bit like ricers and their shopping trolley excels ;p
That said I do think that if the light assembly is completely removed and a Nissan R390 style light is put in its place it would look quite good... Ive seen it done on a ST185 and SW20 before... All custom work so your on your own.
