in a 240? or are you saying theirs a brown wire for the MK3?

i have done this to my 91 supra before. first of all all flip light cars have knobs on them that you can manually adjust just incase one of your flip lights fails to flip. this knob can be found right by the light under the hood(inner side of the light). my knob has a rubber cap on it i am not sure about yours. before you start adjusting you need to disconnect a wire also right next to the light so that the lights will stay the way you want them and not flip up and down. this wire has a quick disconnect on it all you have to do is disconnect that and they will not flip up and down. the wire is pretty easy to find, its like the only wire by the light(on the inner side of the light). if you decide to do this in the wintertime i suggest covering each of the quick disconnect ends so nothing gets in there and ruins your connection. also i suggest using a ruler to get the correct measurement of how far each light is.

let me know if you have any more questions about this

once u set the angle of the lights, how do u make it so the lights are not just pointing at the ground?

burton51m · 02-23-2006, 03:32 AM

just raise em so they are high enuf that you get some light(halfway?) i put mine back to normal so i forget. i have fog lights that are bright too so that makes up for it. just make sure they arent too low that you dont have any light and they arent "too sleepy". they will always be pointing lower than normal when you have sleepy eyes.

does that help?

this is what i did and the lights point straight when they're open only 2 inches....unscrew the 2 little screws taht hold the lamp in and get 2 3 inch screws with 2 2 1/4 inch plastic tubes that fit around the screws....put the screws in the frame holes and tubes onto the screws ...put some jb weld along the bottom the the lamp and frame and let it dry...then juss screw them in n wa la....thats what i did....ORRRRR you can get gmc fog lamps that are as wide as the supra lamps but are2-3 inches in height n do the same procedure....

does the 87 have this option?

if they were pointing straight up, they wouldnt be sleepy, they would be awake eyes lol... but theres another way they do it in the 240sx that involves 2 switches you install, and you just fuck with them and adjust the lights how you want, like one switch cuts the power to the motors as there going up, so you turn the lights on, and hit the switch on and off and themotor flicks up a little each time... ill ask my boy how to do it in a min after we finish throwing these adjustable control arms and tension rods on his 300z
