How are you guys attaching these? Looking at the pics they dont seem to have the little keyhole cutouts that the stockers do to place on the screws and twist/snap in to place.

Isn't it the outer beauty rings that hold them?

I think he is talking about the H4 plugs. These look to have a pigtail that has the 3 prongs receptacle on it.

Yes the outer rings. Not sure if our aus deliverd rx's have the same setup. We already get h4 bulbs stock.
i mean the actual chrome ring that hols the glass.
i thought it was integral to the headlight glass.
i have a spare one , ill check it when i get home.

All 7" round lamp assemblies whether USA sealed beams or E code European are same dimension to be able to fit headlight housings and lamp retention rings in all cars.

The retaining rings are not part of the headlights. Replacement bulbs bought over several decades never came with them - - they are a Mazda part. 8871-51-033 on the SA.

my upgrades...
I also added some better bulbs from what came in the box... I believe they are 100/80w ( found links - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )

If you haven't already upgraded your headlight wiring,recommend you do so soon. With those bulbs you're running,it won't take long to overheat the 33+ yr old wiring and contacts in combo switch.

Just installed a pair of TruckLite 27270C in my 85 GSL-SE. It's a drop in installation, electrically and mechanically. The only problem was a single protruding plastic post that doesn't quite fit through the body opening when raising/lowering the headlamp. I filed the post down with fine hand file, took about 3 minutes per headlight, and it's all good now.

It's probably best to disconnect the battery and use the manual **** to pop open your lights for the installation. That way you can slowly lower them and ensure it clears.

Looking forward to it getting dark tonight. Think I will go for a drive!

So on low-beam, do they just light up the top half?

Any pics of them working? Can the little strips of LEDs (at top & bottom) be wired to blink with the blinkers?
