Headlight options

I'm not going to ask about the cheap ebay headlights, so don't worry about that.


I've spent a good deal of time in Miatas and they too have pop-up headlights from 90-97. There is a kit available from Moss Motors that changes the headlights to a pair of individual projectors. http://www.miatamania.com/Shop/ViewP...eIndexID=73932

I'm just wondering if there is anything similar to that available for the RX7's?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure... but if there is one, I'd plan on it costing a lot more than that kit...

I've seen an rx7 on the street before with dual headlights like that. I'm not too much of a fan. Your best best is to find some headlights and make them yourself.

There is an option with dual round lights. Eliminates the problems associated with flip up lights as well.

From the pictures of the kit for the miata I wonder if they wouldn't work on the fc?

I know a few of the parts are interchangeable, but I don't think headlights are.

The action is different. On a Miata, the headlights just rotate down, while on a RX7, they move vertically.

I had an 87 RX7 MAF on my 93 Miata. Between the MAF, 1.8L injectors and a larger fuel pump, I netted about 10 hp on the dyno.
