Does anyone know where to get a kit to do this with the headlights?

patience my friend.... and soon, you too can have sleepy headlights...

BadAssRX-7 10-31-01 06:24 PM

this is with the clear park/turn lights, fog lights and headlights on low with 60watt bulbs, i later put in 4x 100watt bulbs and DAM

NOTA V6 10-31-01 08:04 PM

Great! I need some of that action. I need to make my website live up to it's name you know... ;)

So what kind of price range are we talking? Are there bulb options, or are bulbs not included? If they're not included, what type of bulb fits? :D

Christmas seems so much further away now...
:blue:

BadAssRX-7 10-31-01 10:21 PM

well the 1st kits will have a projection bulb on the inside(highbeam) and lights like the kit i posted on the out side(lowbeams) the outside will throw a wider pattern and good longreange... the highbeams(all4 lights) will add the projection "pencial" beam and shoot a GREAT long range beam. the lights use H3 bulbs so you can get 35watt-150?watt and i have seen the blue looking kind also. they will come with the stock 55(i think)watt bulbs from hella. price... we are aiming to get 350 or less. plus shipping. I want to make this kit so 1st gen people want them and can aford them. hell a kights sport 2nd gen kit is like 1200 thats WAY outa hand. ill keep you posted

Do you have info on the reflectors yet?

BadAssRX-7 11-01-01 01:20 AM

they are hella lights and bulbs, cant think of the model # but they are hella.

SilverRocket 11-01-01 02:17 AM

No offense, but why are you all so concerned with your godamn headlight kits???

It's not like it makes you any faster!

Spend your hard-earned cash on something useful for fuck sake.

speckamp 11-01-01 02:30 AM

yes, yes we are.


heh

I got the same delimma, do I spend the ~4-5k to get the car's bodywork fixed, and painted, and shit, or do I build a really kicking turbo motor setup for the car.

Well, it comes down to I want my car to look right before I go making it much faster. Afterall, I can put a turbo on it later, but the longer I let the bodywork sit all fuxored up, the sadder I'll be looking at my baby.

Just my .02

Because they are huge ugly lights, I lose about 30MPH at night with those windguards at night, heheh
seriously, I don't like the light styling from the 70's
I've done alot of work on my car and want somthing more modern.

1) I am. Cosmetics are a secondary concern. I have several other upgrades planned first

2) Upgrading to a better lighting system will allow my car to go faster at night safely. I dunno about you, but I like seeing where I'm going, and the one-piece stock crap doesn't do it.
And yes I could updrade it to sealed beam system, but I think BadAssRX-7's kit will look better.

:D

Take a pill dude. We're not putting any headlight kits on your car, so why should you care? :cool: Performance is a big plus, but not the solution to all the world's problems.

Take for example a 500 hp Chevette. Cool for the drag track, not cool to drive your girlfriend/wife around in. Since my car is not for the drag track, I do not need to dress it up like it is.

Sometimes you must mix the go fast stuff with comfort and appearance. A finely blended dish fit for a king is the idea, not the tough and spartan beef jerky and fish with dehydrated potatoes you would have for 'dinner' whilst camping. ;)

That, contrary to popular opinion is not the be all end all of life. :nono: See above.

It's MY hard-earned cash, and I will spend it how I please. I would be pleased by increased visibility and improved appearance on my car.

Besides, soon (hopefully by spring if my J-spec ever arrives) my car will be a TII/GSL-SE hybrid that would smoke your car with or without headlights at all. :D

And no, I am not removing the radio, rear wiper or air conditioning. :rolleyes: You can drive around in discomfort to impress people, but not me...

I can think of at least a dozen other cars we should all be driving if being fast was our primary concern.

is this still available?

Jeezus 01-23-07 05:29 AM

what is this, a 6 year bump? RECORD! :)

FIBREMAZ 01-23-07 06:10 AM

You can use the early model Miata twin headlight kit with a bit of modification. Hit up a Pivot half unit for sleepy eyes

clbsinvaders 01-23-07 07:38 AM

Heh. A first for me.

Pele 01-23-07 09:12 AM

Well, at least the search function was used. :D

I first opened this thread and thought, "Oh man, this never went through."

Then I saw that BadAssRX-7 was working on the kit and I thought, "Wait. He abandoned that 5 years ago." (Has it really beent hat long? Jeez.)

Then I checked the date. :p:

82transam 01-23-07 10:33 AM

Damn I feel old, talk of those kits was still floating around when I joined here years ago. I think I actually remember that thread too....

Hyper4mance2k 01-23-07 01:54 PM

only way to get those lights is to buy the miata kit and modify it to fit your car...

NanaimoRx-7 01-23-07 08:55 PM

Wow man I thought I was having flashbacks again. Then I saw SilverRocket posting, and I remembered. Holy Crap ! Somebody used a search !??!!?!

:cool:

MattG 01-23-07 09:13 PM

Yeah I though SMNC got back on the fourm that douche owes me parts!!!!

chedda_j 01-23-07 10:28 PM

Yeah i remember the first time i was on this thread there was another topic debating making any and i actually said was going to, but then i said fuck it because i really want a flush mount instead of the sleepy eye. I think the flush's are beautiful. I was just actually checking up prices on lexan and plexi.
