Actually looks alright, your first initial thought isnt that those are celica headlights. I think its because he used aftermarket headlights and not the OEM stuff. If the car was black or silver, it would probably look pretty exotic.

Probably look better on a FC because they will be at a lower position on the front bumper.

That's what it boils down to, I think the lines match great on the MR2
that's why it works for it, on our FC's and FD's though I don't think it
works very well though.

So did you finalize the idea? if you do it, please post some pics of the progress i like looking at threads.

Dont let the people on this forum discourage you from posting pics, i know theres alot of badass rx7 mods out there that dont make it on this forum because people just arent mature or very motivating to share here.

tank060206 Jul 9, 2008 07:20 PM

well the lights that i am looking at using are the lights that sloasfk has in his i am going to talk to my sponser and they will most likely have the halo tpe that fit.

13Brandon Jul 9, 2008 09:50 PM

pop ups ftw :)

yea those kind of conversions are pretty nice lookin but i think rx7's are known for the sleepy eyed headlight looks and what not

i think 240's are known for the sleepy eye look.. i had my headlights "sleepy" before and got shit for it :p

I always prefered the simple headlight look. I would love to graft the headlight buckets from an fb/sa22 and create a round headlighted fc. Just my 2 cents though.



Cheers!!!

Wait... So, you don't own an FC, and you have a sponsor?

What kinda shop sponsors some dude with no car?

nitronatefc Jul 20, 2008 03:20 AM

No car yet, and first mod is going to be flush mount lights with angel eyes...

Every once in a while I forget why I don't visit Rx7club to often anymore, than I see shit like this and it all comes back...

Pop-ups or go home.

tank060206 Jul 20, 2008 01:49 PM

im not here to impress you breck, and i looked up shadow7 and i guess it was him. cool beans, he was a nice guy

red_s5_fc3s Jul 20, 2008 03:52 PM

Yeah, Shadow7 is a stand up guy. The car was pretty clean too as I recall.

As far as the RE kit is concerned, I believe hella or piaa makes the lights for them. The turn signal is another story. The foglights you can now source from Corksport. I know a place that can import the actual lights that RE Amemiya used, but I was told that they aren't that great as far as lighting is concerned. I haven't seen the beam pattern in person as of yet though.

tank060206 Jul 20, 2008 04:35 PM

yup still is super clean, thanks for the good info

MaczPayne Jul 20, 2008 05:11 PM

The headlights that come with the FC2000 bumper are worthless. Invest in some quality driving lights to replace 'em, because H6054 Sylvania Silverstars perform WAY better than those.

bold statement there. you got a stock appearance car in your sig. The name of the thread is "headlight conversion". If your not into it, then whyd you click the thread? :scratch:
