Cool sleepy

just wondering whats the best(easy) way to get sleepy eyes on the s12. my last one had more controls on the lights stalks, and i could put the sleepy eyes on with the sidelights, but my one now i cant, so what do i do? do you put a switch on one of the wires that goes to the origional popup switch

theres a relay for the flip up lights near the drivers side light. A toggle switch can be put inline on one of the feeds on this.Im unsure what wire it was but trial and error will have it done in a few minutes. then all you do it have the toggle on off,switch the lights on and then flick the togle until the lights are at desired level and toggle it back to the off position.

I had them fitted on a old silvia i had.They worked well until i needed to replace a light motor and then the flip ups didnt quite work in time and i could never get them to go to the exact same height and they looked silly. So this method only works if your flip ups are in time with even motors
