Default Can corvette do a Snake Eyes?

For those of you that don't know the 3000gt's dodge stealths and ford probes can mod their pop up head lights so they only go up half way when you turn them on. I like the look of the snake eyes in those cars and seeing how i got a C5 i was wondering if it was possible to do to it? Has anyone done this and how? Anyone got some pics of a vette with the lights like this. I dunno how it would look like in a vette but i think it might be pretty cool.

It might look cool, but wouldn't the headlights just be pointing right into the ground, making them worthless? Or is there some kind of two-position thing going on?

I used to have a 3000gt vr4, the "snake-eyes" are actually the lights coming on without actually being flipped up. On the 3kgts there is glass in front of the light on the bumper that alows the light to shine through. DSMs do it the same way (89-91) I dont know how it works on the other cars you mentioned.
