    ok guys found this on the mr2 forum
    Toyota MR2 Sleepy Eye

    This kit should include the following:

    1x 3 way toggle switch (on/off/flash). Electrical cable. Spade connectors. Insulation tape.

    As basic as the kit may seem, this is all you need to complete this easy modification and to do so safely.

    Step 1

    Inside the cabin, select a place you wish to mount the switch. Normally I place them on the floor driver's side, mounted in the plastic cover for the boot release.

    Step 2

    On the bulkhead, behind the driver's pedals, you'll will find a rubber grommet. You will need to thread the wires through into the boot (front off the MR2) leaving the switch in the cabin.

    Step 3

    Remove the plastic boot liner and run the cables in a safe route away from any possible damage from the space saver, tyre, etc? The ends of the cable need to be run to the fuse box.

    Step 4

    Open the fuse box, you have a fuse marked RTR. To ensure that you have removed the correct fuse, turn your head lights ON, you should find that they light up but do not pop up or close down.

    The fuse removed will now be kept for later, and the 2 male ends of the cable come into play.

    Find the live side of the fuse box (this is best done with a tester, connect one end of the tester to the car's body and test each output from the fuse with the other end of the tester, once it hits the live side it will illuminate). Insert the male connector with the inline fuse into the live side and the remaining male connector into the other side.
    [​IMG]
    Now insert the fuse into the 2 female connector .(you should at this point insulate the bear fuse with tape) your lights should now operate as normal.

    The switch is a 3-way toggle switch, if you try it, it will lock in the up and not in the downward. For your lights to work as normal, the switch needs to be in the upwards position, to active sleepy eye, place the switch to the middle, turn your lights on, you should find nothing happens, now apply pressure to the downward toggle until lights raise to preferred height and release .

    I just hooked it up on my 5g, you have to hold the switch on flash while flipping the normal headlight switch, then releasing it whe you want themm to stop going up. it also kills my fogs and marker lights.

    The reason it kills your marker, and other lights, is that it doesn't allow the circuit to complete. If you notice when you turn them on, there is a spot where they somewhat flicker, as the headlights pop up. ;)

    Hey sprey, is it a 3 way switch, or just a 2 way? I was thinking about it, and what about using a pentameter switch, rather than a toggle? Then when you turn it, like in a house, it would allow you to adjust the height, a lot easier. Yeah?

    You know what would be kind of sick? Using a window switch... lol ;) That way it would look like a factory option. :D

    lol tru tru ahh now i remeber ive got a spare factory fog light swtich lying round :D , but with the window switch is up and down and you really only want on or off but yeah , but i cant do anything with my car at the moment because it is parked at work waiting for christmas so the rust can be done and then mechanics to do my bottom end ( i just soo hoping that my crank isnt stuffed cuz then ill be gutted and either looking at new crank $$ or new engine , or even a new car

    A window switch is a momentary switch... It has 3 functions, one up, one down, and a resting point in the middle. If you think about it, wouldn't it be sick to get a passenger side window switch, and mod that in, to work? It would be cool because you can have it go up to the desired height, or down with a slight push of the down button?

    but the RTR fuse only stops the pauses the lights from retracting or going up , it is mainly in use with the headlight switch , i duno how the wiring would go to the do down and up etc but you coudnt use the RTR fuse youd have to cut and rewire the motors probaly
