- I think the side lights look a little odd on the mr2, I would much prefer to integrate them into the pop-ups.
I guess its just the
'mod bug' eating at me again.
Surely you can wire the rouges to pop-up on the first click? But I guess you probably need distinct

Thinking about it, this might actually be quite straightforward.

MIGHT be.
Basically, I'm thinking that you might be able to swap the wiring around on the stalk to make this work.
You'd need to find the wire on the stalk that goes live when the sidelights come on and the wire on the stalk that goes live when the headlights come on
(and pop up) and then swap those 2 wires around.
THAT would mean that, on the first click, the headlights would pop up
& come on then, on the next click, the sidelights would come on.
Okay, that's not good but it's not the end of the world.
Since you want your sidelights built into the headlights you're gonna need to move the feeds for the sidelights into the headlamp pods anyway.
Bearing in mind that, after swapping the wires around in the stalk, you've got headlights raising and coming on with the first click and then sidelights coming on with the 2nd click, you
should just be able to fit small 25w bulbs to the wires that SHOULD power the headlights and then hook the headlights up to the wiring from the sidelights
(after changing fuses and checking all the wiring is suitable etc).
Does that make sense?
Course, you still need to find somewhere to actually have the new sidelights actually shining out of.
I think this might be your biggest challenge.
On most headlights the sidelight is a seperate bulb fitted next to the headlight bulb which causes the reflector to light dimly.
I don't think there's going to be any way to achieve that with the Rogue quad lights.
I dunno if you can get standard headlight bulbs that have a 25w filament and a 55w filament built into them.
I suppose, if not, you might consider using a dual filament headlight bulb and then fitting a high wattage resistor to what should be the main-beam filament so it only glows dimly.
I dunno.
This has the potential to be a total bodge-up if you don't plan it properly and, at best, it's only going to be the sort of thing that an MR2 geek would notice.
