These get asked all the time. No one makes those style anymore. You can use a miata kit, but be prepared to do a tons of cutting and molding.

Your gonna have to do what I'm doing: make your own.
And let me tell you, with nothing to go on but pictures of other peoples headlights it gets to be a bitch real quick. Its very time consuming cause its all mostly measurements and mockups before you actually try to make a set.
Then theres the price of materials, etc.
Its a pain, but then again I'm a perfectionist to some extent so I'm never really satisified on what I come up with.

well I may be picking up another rx today so they may be for sale.
I agree that the car has to be darker to off set the color.
I put them in because I was curious how they would look, they came with the car and the stock headlight motors were shot.
it looks better in person than on a picture but I think my next car will stay pop-ups, These would look good on a wide body or a car with big body mods

Most definenatly a darker color will make it look sick.But a wide body would give people like me a stiffy. Please excuse the spelling just got off of work and at the moment I'm brain dead not to mention i've been drinking sense I walked in the door.

+1 on the widebody kit. Check out user steve84GS TII. His car has 'em, he made them himself from a discontinued Miata kit.
