Lazy eye mod....

Ok so i think im going to begin gathering material to do the lazy eye mod for my car It should be pretty easy to make the headlights only pop up 1/4 to 1/2 way my problem is i cant find any "smaller" headlights to put in place of my old ones. I would like to use some integra lights but i think the housing is to wide. Any ideas on what headlight housings i could use? i would perfer them to be round but either way i want them to be a newer style. Heres a pic of some nsx "lazy eyes" photoshopped:

Don't use round......They won't match the square lines of our cars.

HA, HA, HA.....simple? I'm still in the planning stages of this mod. I can build all of the pieces, I just have yet to find any lights that will work with it. The housings need to be no bigger that 6" X 3" for it to look right.

It's not a real hard mod to do....I just don't wanna hack my bulb surrounds. Even though I have a spare pair.

Re: Lazy eye mod....

Your right cali, those probably would work. Ive been reading early grand prix use these same bulbs. Is it possible to put H4 bulbs in those like that person did in the auto detailing and appearance?

Alright so i think i found some that will work, the 4th gen bulbs are to skinny and would look funny with so much space on the sides. Im gonna go with 97-04? Dodge Dakota/Durango lights they look like they might be a perfect fit.
