Question Help ID these lights (FTP?)

I got these from a local dude who's trying to reduce his RX-7 parts stockpile. I was told they were lamps that fit into the existing Flash to Pass lenses. (And for $10, I said what the hell.)

So, does anyone know who makes them, and if they'll actually work out?



To go here...



Also, could I get a word about installing them? (The basic idea, I can figure out the rest.)

Thanks!

You'll have to figure your own way of mounting them as the stock FTP lenses mount with a bolt on each end and those that you have have one bolt in the middle.

in the archives there is a write-up on putting foglights into you ftp lenses those foglights you have are similar to the ones in the write up. it takes some cutting i recall but if you look you will see how it was done before

Yeah, that's what I was worried about.

I think this is the one you're refering to. (Or at least seemed pretty good.)

Note: The link is a year old.

They might be. The odd thing is they're about the right shape to match the outside curve of the FTPs.

I also noticed that the bulbs are blue-ish, which probably means they're Xeons (or HID's or something.) If that's the case, I may upgrade my headlights too to match. (Which would be pretty cool.)

On a side note, RyoFC3S's avatar cracks me up.
