Turn the light on then off, then double click the light switch on the dash.
If it doesn't work put the wire back together.
Or try the JDM tyte version above.

The brown wire is power for the headlight motor. No power = no motor movement.

I suggest you search and read the EL section of the FSM on headlight. There are 4 relays, the motors themselves, and a headlight timer.

Digest all the information and decide how you want to proceed.


You can buy a controller, or you can build one yourself if you have the skills. If you have any specific questions about wiring post up.

I cut the brown wire on one of my cars, all it stopped was the lights going down in one smooth motion, all you have to do is double click the headlight button like you would a mouse, the lights should move down inch by inch, keep clicking untill desired sleepeyness is reached

[LA_phantom_240]

I jsut cut the green wire and wired in a momentary switch (like a window switch operates) and then I could adjust their downward movement.

well then, can anyone explain why the heck my pop ups literaly bilnk??? O_o I'm pretty sure the right one goes the opposite direction, but I have no idea what would cause that.

[Jtuned_andy]

Cut wire
Flick your light stalk on then off
Double tap your light switch

Nothing else is needed here

If it's not working for you, you have bigger electrical problems.

Grab a multimeter and an FSM and get to troubleshooting.

[Matej]

Tap the high beams to make them go up.

Buy what? Wire...and switches? Am I missing something?

[KiLLeR2001]

Hmm weird. My brown wire is cut and my headlights work like normal.

that one is just to complicated....


my method was cut the brown wire and run a secondary switch from the driver side fuse box to do sleepy eyes with lights on... :bigok:

If cutting the brown wire were to defuse a bomb, a couple members here would be blown up already.... !

the brown wire makes it to were when you push the button it does nothing.

DUDE!!! I've had THREE S13 fastbacks and that mod worked on NONE of them!!!

maybe some are wired differently, here's my cars:
1: 91 SE
2: 89 XE
3: 89 SE

CAN EVERYONE PLEASE POST THEIR CAR'S YEAR AND TRIM, AND WETHER THIS MOD WORKED ON THEM OR NOT??

[Antihero983]

worked fine on mine.

although to this day i have no idea why the fuck i even did it......

[Andrew Bohan]

cutting the brown wire worked perfect on my 91 SE

*shurg*

[240esux]

the first video is easy as hell man. just get some extra wire and 2 switches.
I dunno if you can have the lights on while in sleepy mode with the brown wire method but with the "jdm tyte" one you can. I did it to mine and now im glad i didnt cut that brown wire.

[BoostedCoupe]

worked fine on my 92 xe, and 93 se they arent wired diffrent.

[DRFTWHORE]

1990 SE worked wonders for me...

[white92_s13]

my s13 works fine with brown wire cut. i flash high beams, and then they stay up, and then tap the button down.

[ThatGuy]

1993 Base. Worked as advertised with my stock front end.

Now I have a Silvia front end, so I reconnected the brown wire, and I use the switch to control my fog lights.

Must have been three color blind idiots then.

The brown wire trick works on all s13's.

Might I ask why is this thread even in existence?

[CoasTek240]

the brown wire has worked on all 4 of my s13's.

btw, does anyone know why one of my headlights would be 1 sec slower than my other headlight, and it doesnt close the last 1/3"?
Its my passenger headlight. Ive swapped the headlight motors in both of them ive looked at positioning of the arms? whats gives?

[smelly240]

the brown wire works but u cant have them sleepy with the lights on (why you'd want that i dunno)

my coupe the lights went at different timing too - lol

your supposed to cut the orange wire. never mind it is brown. lol

[lolatclint]

lol. yea i think i had bigger electrical problems. because my cousin said when i turn on my lights the pop ups should go automatically. i never knew that because my car i had to turn on the lights then hit the button for the pop ups to go up. so cutting my brown wire was epic fail. i just reconnected the wire. :(

[Matej]

Yes you can, when you want to have your sleepy eyes lit up you just have to take out the headlight fuse from the driver side kick panel fusebox, or you can make a switch for it.

[KC20DET]

would you be able to turn on the light when its sleepy?

"O HAI. DOES U KNOW. IF I CUT BROWN WIRE. WILL HEADLIGHTS BE ON WHEN HEADLIGHTS IS SLEEPY?"
"no. you're a fucking idiot. that would kill you when you can't see the road."
"O OK. HOW DOES I CUT THE WIRE. WILL THIS WORK ON A FORD PROBE?"
