Wheres it located at? Im going to pull my headlight motor lights and adjust it to give it the sleepy eye look. Or maybe raise one a little or somethin who knows. Are they controlled by individual motors, or hows it go?

Lazy eyes on the Supra dont work well because, unlike other car companies, the Supra headlights dont stay vertical when they go down. Most of the 'lazy eye' cars do.

Now. If you still want to (I did it for kicks once but dont know how it works when they go up and down) pop your hood. There will be a rubber cover (round with a squarer base) covering a red knob just next to the headlights. The knob will have arrows showing to turn them. Turning them (one for each light) will cause the light to go up and down.

I'll take pictures for you in the morning as my Supra is outside and I dont have a light for it.

I know what your talking about. I want to take my motor our so i can adjust those, and have them not go up or down when i turn my lights on ya know.

I didn't feel like making a thread for this but wheres our fuse for the cigarette lighter? I don't have the owners manual, i need to pick one up. Wanna be able to use a cop detector.

Hmmm well I think the motors are behind the radiator support. I have my upper and lower bumpers off right now and still dont see them. I'm not exactly sure if taking the motors out will help. Like I said, the light will be angled down if you give them the lazy look. That would mean you have to get out and adjust it every time you drive at night. Unless of course you dont want to see where you're driving real well.

Well i figured i would be able to get it project if i raise them a little less than halfway and adjust them right.

I'm not gonna stop you but you wont be able to see good at night still considering about half of each light is going to be blocked by your upper bumper.

Speaking of that, i'm curious. Are you going to block out the grill area so that way light wont be shining out from it? lol

that little box where the knobs to adjust the head lamps are located IS the motor...

You also need to remember the headlights are completely and utterly useless. There is no adjusting them...they will be pointing 45 degrees down.
