you could make a kit also that did not include lamps, but would fit lights off of another car, like a 92 camaro, or an 80 280 z, that way it would be much less expensive, and the buyer could buy the lights at a junkyard, or........wherever they found them for cheap. just an idea.

 

Damn. Now that's an idea.

 

just make them to use commercially aavalible bulbsliek H7 low and 9,000 series high beams and let peope buy the bulbs you like..

I think the miata ones fit with a bit of modification... I might have some more detailed info shortly.

 

I think there could be quite a few people interested in flush mounts if the price could be in the range you sugested 150-350 for the set. you could sell a dyi kit. where you sell the housing and the buyer uses lights from another car that way you have lamps and reflectors already bright anuff to avoid that tree before mentioned and that way you have lights that have been tried and tested. there are several cars you could scavange reflector assemblies off, say lights off an acura integra might be about the right size. its just a mater of finding the right size ones. they would look mutch better off set . the inside ones should be brought out and the out side ones setback like the ones for the 3rd gen. if any one has some pics of some flush lightson a firs gen please post them here.

 

here are some pics of the ones for a miata they could look something like these.

 

these are regtangle ones but show the offset on the inside light. I would like round lights set up like this. the miata place sell them for around 300 why couldnt some one here be able to. the square ones are closer to 200 heres the pic

 

here is a pic of some on a red miata may be some one can photo edit these on to a first gen rx7

 

 

Manntis, that is the first flush headlight FB I've ever thought looked cool and original as opposed to simply modern (which is not my cup of chai). I still like pop-up lights, tho.

So what are the actual lights theyre using for these miata kits? Any links to the sellers of these kits?

 

there was a write up floating around the forum a while ago on how to modify the sleepy eyed miata kits to fit a first gen.. you could probably do the same thing to the flush kits... just wish i knew where that write up is... i am sure someone here remembers where it came from

 

Are you guyz interested in flush lights just wanting to replace broke pop-up lights, or are you actually wanting to replace working units with these??? It just looks too much like rice to me, even when done tastefully.

 

I like those flush lights in that picture, manntis, i want lights like that on my car... and who cares if your oppinion of them is rice brealistic, i hate pop-up lights i want something i can just turn on.

 

non popups would save weight and give a little more room under the hood, and yeah those look pretty cool
someone figure it out for me and the other lazy bums

 

bah my first double post :'(

 

been trying to figure out how to make one that gives a good beam pattern, doesn't require cutting into the bulkhead, and is inexpensive. Seems I can only get 2 out of 3...

 

For christs sake people, just go to home depot, buy some plexiglass, cut it to shape, get some sheet aluminum and some autozone headlights, and slap it all together Total cost of like $15-20 and you have flush mount lights

 

Its the headlights thats the problem here. You need good illumination and still be able to fit it into the space you have to work with.

 

dont need good illumination, lol, screw it, thats what streetlights are for

 

What about us that drive back roads in the boonies?

 

bah, deal with it

 

bah, deal with it

 

here is one of the sites to the flush mount miata lights. its the most informative one. http://www.midtennmiata.com/
the other one only give a pic and a short sales description. I guess they do not want to give any info out.

Am I the only one that cares about adequate lighting? I actually take my car on the highway between cities, and headlighs become the difference between arriving in one piece or splattered through the torso of a small elk.
