I want round headlights

Anyone know of a kit or anything to put round headlights in a TII...? I like the round headlights like the 1st Gens. Anyway if someone has done this or knows of a kit let me know please. Maybe this would be a idea for all those guys making stuff out of CF.

Ya I am sure you can just put some round ones in but what about the plastic trim around the head light? Is the Miata headlight idea a direct swap? I would like to have some sort of trim around the headlight after I put it in.

I thought you meant like two small round headlights- similar to the knightsports kit. I have seen a few of those on the forum- but not single round headlight conversions.

Interesting, though- I wonder how that would look with the lines of the car?

I've thought about this before, but there is no way a single round headlight would look right with the squared lines of the car. SA/FB's could do it because that was more of the 70's style, and Miatas can do it because they are round little roadsters. The FC's and FD's are really made for the rectangle headlight look.

It should only take a little bit of metal work to fit it, and a peice of square plastic cut to fit to fill the gap.
