85' Supra Headlights

[prairiedog]

I have an 85' Supra with the popup headlights, and I was wondering if there is a conversion kit anybody makes so that they arent popup's anymore.....

HELP

you have to make it custom

And I've yet to see one that looked good for that car. Popups > Built in.

OK I've saw them on other cars such as rx-7s and they looked pretty tight....
thanks

I had thougt of just buying another headlight cover from a wrecking yard for the passenger side and make a vent of it for the intake. I guess that was off subject but it had headlight in it so i guess it was ok.

Up to you. I've just seen too many attempts that ruined the lines of the car.

popups always gave me that sports car feeling...

If you mod the fog lights then who needs headlights..I dont.. Here is how its done..
1.remove the stock fogs from car.
2.stick the entire housing into a oven stitting at 300deg for about 10 min..
3.Take the housings out and carfully pry out the stock lens with a screwdriver while still hot(loosens glue).
4.After removal of the lens remove the reflector in the middle of the inside of the housing,Its only held on with 2 rivets.
5.reinstall the lens and seal it with hightemp silicone then get some 100watt bulbs..
Now you should have significantly brighter lights..If that is not bright enough for you then instead of putting in the stock lens's buy some 1/2" thick glass and have them cut to fit your housing(any window shop can cut them for you).. I did and also took out the headlights altogether and hard wired my fogs to the low beam harness just to make sure they wouldnt fry the stock fogs harness.. Here is some pics of mine..
This is my conversion..

Here is a closeup..

These are a side shot and a front of the brightness of 100watt halogen bulbs with the conversion..

This is the pattern that is given off by them..My Mom lives out in the boonies and these work just fine on dark backroad 2 lane highways..I only had a problem in a HARD rain but it was becaes of rain not the lights..Wipers wouldnt go fast enough..

Let me know if you got anymore questions..

hey midwest, do you have high/low beams now or just one in between

[midwestmk2]

Just one inbetween.. Like i said i hard wired mine into the headlight harness so im only using the low beam circuit..If flip the high beams on the fogs go out and your all dark..
Every now and then i have someone flash there lights at me..I just made sure i had them adjusted just right..I spent almost a hour on just that..
