Definitely looks like the eastbear and they were a little pricey if I remember.
There was someone on here that had a set installed on their FC. Do a search for EastBear and it should pop-up. You might get a thousand hits, but somewhere in there you should find the details.

rx7pro is still under construction and really needs to be updated with new product available soon. As far as the lights go I think the eastbears are decent but way too overpriced for the bugeyed look. Sleek lights in CF for half the price seems a better deal. I though of buying a set and making a mold but am partial on the design.

Nice pic (1st one). I got mine for www.rx7store.net for $625, but I understand (according to their site) that they do not stock them anymore. You may want to PM Jason and bug him about It, for those who are Interested.

To add to the arsenal.

Personally (I know no-one asked) but I would rather drive around with flashlights duct taped to my hood then that kit... Why can't anyone leave the flip up lights alone? They are a cool thing to have...

My reasoning for doing away with mine when im able is to lower the overall weight of teh car, free up a bit more space for a CAI ducted thru teh FTP and for modernizing just a tad. Im all up for stuff from teh 80's but having to pay modern prices for headlight motors when the burn up is nuts.

In 10 years I have never replaced any... To each his own, headlight conversions always ruin a car for me (rx7) Be it 1st 2nd or 3rd.. But they aren't my cars so my opinion really doesn't matter..

I'm going to have to agree with RRTEC, those are just not my cup of tea... I like flip-ups a lot more

The only replacement lights that look relatively good come with the FC2000 bumper. The CP lights are just god awful, the eastbear's are ok, but really that little bump that sticks up really kills the look.

When I first got into RX7's, I saw that white car, with the EastBear headlights. I still to this day find it to be one of the sexiest RX7's ever.

They are one of the very select few headlights I would use on a 7, and the very select few includes stock pop-ups .

None of the other cars look good that were posted, imo. The white one was done correctly, or something. The others look....off....

East bear no longer makes them. I tried. I wish one of the guys who makes a similar light for FDs would do a group buy and make a bunch.
