first gen dual headlight conversion kit

Hey guys, I'm trying to find out if anybody knows where to find the dual headlight conversion kit for the first gen instead of the factory big single headlight? Please let me know if you know.http--my7.rx-7.org-images-badassrx-7-beast.jpg

The Link doesn't work. Confirm it.

Did you mean like Romeo's Badd Asssss?!


If so, it's a custom made setup. There is no "kit".
Although there was a member here who was modifying the Miata kits to something similar, AKA
sleepy eyes kit.

I know the feeling, got a ton of projects, and no time, 12 hr workdays don't leave much energy for the weekends.
But when I find some free time, all this overtime money is going to buy some nice toys for the 7

im currently working on a kit using dual dichroic driving lights.
im trying to find a small pair in silver or chrome with a hyper white hid style bulb.
i think i have a c distributor lined up that carries the ones i want
if everything goes through i'll be able to offer the kit at an excellent price.
i also found an inexpensive way to give the car the sleepr eye look,
which will also be included in the kit.
the only thing is no shrouds.
i dont know how to work with plastic or fiberglass so no can do.
but the lights are driving lights so they look like fog lights,plus the lights will be spleepy eyed so i dont think there will be a problem.

thats an idea,
i'll have to work up a prototype and send you the kit to see what you can do with it,
it can be boxy,really doesnt matter,
who see's them in the day time anyway?

Hey, guys sorry about the link i guess it doesn't work. I like the headlight on romeo's 7 and i also like the on on the bad *** they both look good. I've been trying to get rid of the factory headlight. I just don't like that huge single light. I was told the one's on bad ***'s car is 400.00 for the kit.

There are new replacement headlights that are euro in look.. ie. the lens are ultra clear.. and the bulbs are removeable.. so you can change them to the ultra white or hyper blue bulbs for that hid look. I've seen another set @ Autotrix located off Flamingo rd.. that carries 2 bulbs in the headlight. 1 is a little low wattage bulb and the regular headlight bulb. I was told that its call "city lights" were you can have the little bulb wired to the park lights. You can change the little bulb to any color you want.

Firstly!!!
Don't even start with those Ultra White
Hyper Blue ****-*** things. Read the damn link I posted earlier.

Sorry to come down hard, but seriously, read this:
http://lighting.mbz.org/tech/info/bulbs/blue/good/
http://lighting.mbz.org/tech/info/bulbs/superwhites/

Those blue bulbs are PURE RICE...

You're talking about european-spec headlights (known as e-code). DO buy these. They are FAR superior to American DOT-spec headlights...

I really want something like this for my FC...
The sleepy eye kits with dual lights look so much better than stock and about a billion times better than any sleek headlight kit.
