"Eastbear Pop-Up Lights"
???? I think you might be talking about the KnightSports kit.......http://rx7.com/pics/fc-ksheadlight.jpg the closest thing I can come up with that has two small lights, while keeping the pop-ups.
900 bux.......too much IMO.......go to www.rx7.com and go to "exterior" and then "lighting"
You can also buy them from www.rxecret7.com in their lighting page. It's like 950.00$ though. they do look pretty bad ***.

any amount of money is too much, who cares what they look like when theyr up? the point is they light up the road, and stock does that... no need to waste money

design your own and see how much it adds up to. make sure you count how much time it takes too, not just materials.

bullshit.....i am designing my own entire kit for less than that when i sell them....dude seriously i wanna sell the front and rear and sides almost as much as it would cost for that kit that almost looks stock except for the bulbs
I personally think the Knigtsports kit is the most beautiful alternative to stock. I LOVE the Amemiya front end, but I'm usually known to keep things looking close to stock. $900 isn't that bad at all...it's quality that counts.

$900 is a lot. Thats almost half a months pay for some headlights. I could do a lot of other things to my car with $900 besides blow it on replacing the lights. In the end, you still see at night. To each his own though. I rather go fast than look good. My ultimate goal is to go so fast that nobody will see me. Then who cares if I got stock headlights or $900 headlights.

I made my own for about $40 besides the front bumper that came with my body kit.
But it was not quick or easy...........

I keep seeing your claim for the super inexpensive body kit but I remeber reading from you that at $400 for your hood you weren't really making that much. Then you factor in your time and honestly how much per hour are you making? Not much I'm sure. I have no idea how you plan to make a front bumper, sides and rear bumper for $1k... maybe with zero profit.
If that's how you work, that's fine, but someplaces try to making a living off their body parts, and there needs to be a profit margin to do that.
Heck a good set of 4 driving lights could run $200 easily and that only leaves $800 for the rest of the parts, which are at least double to 2.5 times the work of a hood.
Anyway, if you can do it great! More power too you and I'd love to see it.
As for the knight sports stuff, yeah it's kinda pricy and if you had the fabrication skills it could be done for less. But many don't and in a market where that is the only way to change the lights and keep the pops ups.... well, they have a monopoly and can charge what they want.
