you know this way of doing sleepy eyes
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4569557146607355869&q=240SX+SLEEPY
well i dont know if this will work but what if you substitute the switch that controls the flipping of the headlights for a potentiometer so you can adjust how fast the headlight flips up?? I havent seen anyone try that yet and i would try it but im lazy and its cold outside. Any electronic wizards out there??

i personally think its easier to just get the pivot unit. i did the thing he did in the vid, but the pivot unit is so much easier to install and is so much cleaner.

dude im not saying i found the way to do sleepy eyes...im asking if you can use a potentiometer in place of the switch. This way is super easy, all you do is plug wires onto terminals and stuff, i cant justify spending 100 bucks on a thing that makes your cars headlights "sleepy", now i have all this stuff in my garage and i bet most people do too, so this would be free.
Now i know people have opinions and you can voice them freely, its your right as an american, but i asked a question and if your not gonna help me get the answer or if your gonna provide some more information, please dont post. Apparently smelly240 didnt even read my question.

well i guess but this way lets you control the light and hopefully if someone actually helps me answer this question, the headlight could be adjusted in small increments.

Mate the potentiometer with the headlight relays, this is old news.

problem with the brown wire mod is ... "I want my lights on while in sleepy mode" and that mod wont allow it.

Problem is sleepy eyes is gay and has already been discussed.
Has it even been a week since people talked about this?!

lol I havent answered this yet, so here goes my one sleepy eye tutorial this year:
the headlight switch actually doesnt control the motors, theres a seperate headlight controller box below. Rewiring directly from the motors to the pot could get you what you're looking for, and will help eliminate the left/right delay most of us have. Its a pain though, which is why some pay $100 for that lame Pivot controller.
If you want your lights on while sleepy, which is pointless unless you're flashing high beams at drift days, you'll have to rewire; otherwise just cut the brown wire and doubleclick that shit
