Hi

I just got a 1987 rx7 turbo and i love it. :-) but my headlights are very dim and the car came with some new h-4 headlights but they dont fit into the stock headlight mounts dose anyone know how to convert them thanks.

 

You need to replace the sealed beams with H4 housings.

 

this is my friends FC (1sxyrxy)

 

they should fit the exact same. if they don't fit then they are probably the wrong size. there are different sizes of sealed beam headlights.

 

Oops, I misunderstood. I thought you had H4 bulbs and needed housings to fit them. You need to get 200mm x 140mm H4 housings, which are a direct drop-in replacement for the FC's stock sealed beams.

 

ebay 60 bucks thats with xenon bulbs

 

Anything that cheap will be poor quality. Avoid eBay and stick to the namebrand stuff.

 

they have some decent ones at autozone that i got..and my friend with a mr2 uses with real hid's...the plastic is pretty hard..and it feels almost like glass.. very bright compared to stock

 

i payed 30 bux for my shipped and all and they work fine even came with bulbs

 

hella i believe is the most commen one used.. probally the best same with Bosche

 

I bought PILOT at Autozone, they were $50 they work great fit great and are GLASS. I bought (dare i say it) APC bulbs for $29.99 and they are wicked bright and look about as close to hid as you can get so for $79 I got a good kit.

 

If you can afford it, go with Cibie headlights -- those things are worth their weight in gold. I have Hella H4 replacement E-code headlights, and they are NOTHING compared to the Cibies I have in my Prelude...

And when you drop in 100/130watt Narva bulbs with upgraded harness -- oh man, I swear it is brighter then most HIDs out there...hitting the highbeams lets me see into the next city

Conversion kits, bulbs, harnesses, etc

 

Where do you get the housings?

 

google it.

rx7 h4 kit.... rx7 headlamp kit, rx7 headlight kit.... etc. ~50$ without the bulbs.

 

does anyone know if silvania makes a kit for us?

 

The Cibie or the Hella H4 conversion housings are hands down the best you can get.
Do NOT buy that ebay junk. You will not only sacrifice safe lighting for youself, but you will also endanger all others on the road by blinding them.
