Designed a Headlight Kit and looking for feed back.
With help from a Los Angeles shop that makes a similar kit for the Mazda Miata, I designed this kit for the 1986-92 RX-7. This shop will help me develop the kit, if I can convince them there if enough interest for the kit. My goal is that the kit will be priced under $300 (US dollars)and that it will require no permanent modification to the car.

Sorry, I don't get it - what's the point? If you're getting improved lights with better visibilty, maybe, if it's just for looks I've got more important things on my car to spend money on!

There was a guy (Blue90TII) who designed a similar mod for a little bit of nothing, and he put the instructions up on a website. I think it cost less than $100 to do.
For your kit, do you have to install a kill switch for the headlight motors, or are the linkages modified as well? That's about the only drawback to having this mod that I can see. Also, are all four lights the same type, such that you would NEED all four on to emulate brights?

Awsome lights man!!!!
I am defenatly interested in these babies...
However are they the blue lights? So looks really white/blueish at night like the new mercedes and the acura 3.2tl??

Yo,
I didn't vote because the kit does look hella nice, but I'm not interested in it. Good job though! It looks really good, and there actually might be some aerodynamic benefits to it. I would post close up pictures of the lamps, are they German? Hella? DOT approved? What wattage? Yadda yadda.
Good work and best of luck!

I will have to test the prototype on another RX-7 that still has the flash to pass lenses in place. The FTP lenses may still work with the kit. As for the lights themselves they have H3 bulbs that are replaceable with the HID "look" bulbs. The company that provided the lights for Mazda's 1995 M Speesdster concept car, these are the same lights that will be used for the kit . I've been told that they are DOT approved and 1,000's of kits for the Miata has been sold without problems. Thanks for all the feed back so far.

how did you make them go up halfway without a kill switch? is there the option of having it go up all the way? (for adjustments, etc)
nice job though on the shroud, thats the next step for my kit

i might be interested somewhat in purchasing just the shroud, (that would save me the work of making one, which i haven't had time to do)
let me know, thanks
