White Light Headlights

78-85 MAZDA RX7 RX-7 CRYSTAL DIAMOND HEADLIGHTS LIGHTS

Not sure if anyone has them, Had them installed today, In the garage ( still daylight out now) they look so clean with the white light, Also the Mini-blue light is hooked up with the running lights so thats looks sharp.. Anyone else have these? Happy with them?
thanks for any info ...

They are great! If you know a little about electric, you can save the $200 it cost me to have them installed! ( run new harness to new relay (for headlights) ..

The $200 bucks was due to Labor for the Relay, this way if anything goes wrong, I will not ruin anything, just the relay will blow out.. To me, well worth the money, they look so clean, had a 2nd Gen guy ask about them my 1st night out on the roads..

Will post photos today with link to find seller on ebay..

From what people have said about them in the past, they're a LOT better than stock, but then again, having a buddy hold a flashlight out the window is better than stock

Seriously tho, any headlight upgrade is a good thing. Just make sure you stay away from any sort of blue bulb in there. If you want more info on a good bulb, pop over to Dan Stern's website:

He is the GURU of automotive lighting.

Graet writeup from DanielsLighting info.
I've been trying to get a better Aftermarket Light Lineup for awhile now, and this site did the trick.
Thanks for the Site.

They're all over ebay...Just not under RX-7 Headlights...
Search for 71-79 VW Beetle headlights, 85-93 Cabriolet headlights, some years of Toyota Corollas. Back when I was looking at them a year ago all of the ones labeled as RX-7 headlights were $5-$10 more expensive.

I don't get it, sounds to me like you got ripped off by whoever wired that up for ya, i dont see why those lights are going to cause a problem running off the stock circuit. Even if they do, $200 to run 4 wires to a relay is ridiculous. Wow, im glad i know how to wire my own stuff.

Yeah sorry to say I have to agree with you here... Maybe the new headlights use a higher current, so sure, they may need a new relay... relays really dont cost that much, and wiring takes all of 30 minutes to do a nice neat job.

no seriously...it's not about knowing or not knowing... if i were to take it in to get that done...they should charge for a relay, wiring(3/4 wires) and maybe, just maybe one hours labour...which shouldn't have run u up to $200 man...jus lookin out for u

woa you got ripped brah. 30 bucks advanced auto gives you everything might be APC but it's relays and wiring it is SIMPLE. I did it on my honda. I don't even see why a relay would be needed in fact. I honestly think the most you would lose is a bulb or something which is no biggy. OR blow a fuse, but if you know what you're doing you don't need a relay or anything simple hook-up.

I know how you feel hehe, $200 wasnt much to you to get it done, so good for you :-)

Next time though, you should get a better deal.
