I wonder if theres a big difference in the various kits.
I had not thought about water leaking in, the stock unit seems to have tight surround compared to all the kits.
What was the result of the water leaking in? Where does it go?

(Left is Miata.org's BSP kit, right is Miatamania.com's Moss kit).

I had the mod done about two years ago with no major problems or bulb replacement...... I have, however, seen some water spots on one headlight.




hum... I'm not sure what happened to my post, I guess I'll try it again.
I'm going to try to install a miatamania kit (their warehouse is just down the street) on my 82 in a couple of weeks, since i'm now unemployeed, I'm probably going to do a full writeup on my experience with pictures, i'll keep you guys posted.

Do the kit severely limit the seeing ability of the driver (as far as illumination)?

Illumination is about the same as stock. Im thinking about replacing the bulbs w HID's.

I wish I had the cash to do that...
Oh well, after college
.
that set aslo doesn't reach the end of the lid of the headlight. You could probably put like the a glass shield over it and help reduce of water spots or water leakage, wouldn't be a bad idea ......
