Anyone ever done this installation?

Does anyone have pics of these lights/lenses installed?

 

im jealous, your getting an rx-8 sorry i duno anythign abotu the install but i would imagine you just gotta pull your stock lights out and put those in then wire it up?

 

I have those! cake to install! mine are wired to my parking lights!

 

I can take a pic if you want! I cant post it though because I dont know how. But I can email it to you

 

whats the difference between US and JDM FTP lights?

 

there is a bulb in the ftp's in the j-spec.

 

the JDM version are NOT Flash to Pass lenses. The rear of the housings are black plastic, not clear as FTP's are.

The JDM's versions are what's called City Lights. Sort of a super duper parking light not ment to light up much in front of you.

I have a pair. First look at them, and you say "hey, why do those look different?"

 

have any pics of them installed on your car hozzman?

 

nice.. so in japan did they have a different light switch for the city lights to come on with or are they wired with the parking lights?

and then what's the price tag and who carries them?

 

mazdatrix- 150 bucks

 

lol...

 

will these fit S4 model 2nd gens?

 

Here is a pic of gz91rx7's car:

No, that's completely wrong. They're not "city lights" (WTF?), and they're not super duper anything. They're just plain ol' parking lights with a little 5W bulb. US cars have their front parking lights as part of the indicators; Japanese cars have these instead, and the headlights pop up when you flash them.

I wouldn't recommend anyone wastes their money on these. They're not very bright, and you'll lose the ability to flash your high beams during the day.

 

Ok they arent at mazdatrix, I cant remember the site. Sorry! I was just at it a few days ago.

But I do agree with NZ, they are nothing special. It is a 168 bulb.

You can do the mod yourself for alot cheaper. Just goto Autozone, get 2 168 sockets and bulbs.
Drill a hole in your FTP, mount the socket, wire it to either a switch or your parking lights. DONE!

This way you can still flash your high beams during the day. Granite................ I have NEVER done that.

I can take a pic at night to clear this up if anyone wants.

Amanda- how many other pics of my car do you have? Oh yeah and as I am sure you already read, the engine is DONE!! No Rotary Revolution for me.

 

mazdaformance has them $170 bucks..

thanks for the info guys.

 

I would love to see a night pic

and yes they would (should) fit S4.

 

I always wanted to put a light in the ftp lens ever since i saw the white fc in initial D...

 

bringing it back from the dead, no one described how to install! details please?

 

corksport has em too BTW...


Those should be realtively easy to install. you can probably just wire them directly to a switch that you put somewhere on the dash or you can wire them into your parking light circuit. shouldn't be hard at all...

 

There are two bulbls for the Jspec while US has one, I beleive.

 

well...if you mean parking lights, yes. US parking lights are the amber ones up front that also double as your turn indicators....the JSpec 'FTPs' have 5 watt bulbs in them and are on the same circuit as the amber turn signals IIRC. But the high beams don't work in the same manner as the US spec does. The headlights flip up as NZConvertible said...where as the US spec high beams will shine through the FTPs....

 

No, they're on the parking/marker light circuit, since that's what they are...

 

That's what I meant....just couldn't quite put it into the proper words i guess, lol...

meh...it's late...i sometimes get confused when I'm tired, lol...

 

i say just make your own. get some square fog lights for $20 then mount them behind your ftps, cut the ftps back out. that way you will have a ton more light that what you would get with the jdm one.
