im just looking for some information on doing a headlight conversion on my 7. from flip up to the normal style headlight. those who have done this or know people who did please add something. im wondering about price, problems, advantages, man hours, and materials. thanks a ton

 

The fc3s.org car has a conversion but I forgot which kind it was, check out the RE-Animeya (SP?) front clip, its expensive, but in my opinion its worth it.

 

Where can you pick up the RE Amemiya front clip?

 

yeah totaly, i would love to find a kit for that

 

I got mine at www.rxecret7.com

 

cp racing, eastbear, RE-A (if u want a whole new front end)

 

by the time u find/can afford a light kit u'll learn to like the flip-ups. sure there wicked 80's, but so is the car!

lol im just playin...thats what happened 2 me tho

 

www.cpracing.ca has a decently priced kit that i think looks great.

 

www.miata.org makes a cool kit for Miatas's. I was told they fit the FC with a little modification.

 

I think that the pic they posted is not their actual kit.....they said you do not need to cut the bumper but thier car has no FTPs..........has anyone bought and installed these?

 

Are you sure man? can you confirm this 100%, you mean the BSP quad light kit? I have emailed miata.org and asked them, still waiting to here back.

AL

 

I was wondering the same thing if there's no need for futher modefications then I think it's a good deal for $650

 

Heh. I've been looking at this too. I do a lot (mostly?) night driving, and as much as I love flip up lights, they really drag at speed (my brother drove my car, flipped the lights up, and noticed the drag - and he's not exactly the most "car aware" person I've ever met).

"Quick and easy installation, designed for use with factory hood, fenders and bumper. Does not require removal of any bodywork. "

I think this means that you don't have to take the bumper/hood/fenders off of the car, you can install them without removing the body pieces from the car. But that's just my interpretation.

 

you will be willing to pay 650 for these dual lights?

Damn I can make those and have them plug into your stock light wiring harness for 650.

 

I think this BSP light kit would be cool...



One of the best selling accessories in our product line, the BSP Low Profile Headlight Kit is one of our favorites too. Mazda liked them so much they used them as the platform for the lights on the M Speedster. Then Mazda put one of our kits on the M Coupe. The factory 'barn door' headlights interfere with your forward vision. Our lowered profile lights capture the essence of the Miata and improves the field of view drastically.

Key features:

1. Independent adjustment for all four bulbs takes seconds

2. New DOT stamped clearer lenses*. High beams use all 4 lights. Replacement lenses are just $19.95. Now uses H3 Halogen replaceable bulbs. Upgrade for HID look or replace them locally for just $4.95. No side glare issues.

3. All powdercoated assemblies

NOW WITH POLISHED RINGS AROUND EACH LIGHT!

Don't be fooled into buying similar but more expensive kits that have fewer features. Make sure you ask for BSP's Low Profile kit by name!

$349.00 USD

 

Now those would look nice on my 7.

what site did you find those on? do they fit the 7?.

 

When I produce my kit it will be with the BMW "Angel Eyes". But nothing until the new year/spring time frame.

 

if u make a kit like that one on the miata i think you should take into account the part of the "flipped-up" assembly on the side... i noticed on the green car there's no light bezel, which makes it look kinda "partially installed'.

 

that gives it the race look. Plus it will be much simpler and that is the key.

 

I inquired through CPRacing, you do have to cut the bumper cover. Theyre still nice though, its just not reversable.

 

ill be done with mine soon, flush light with CF and lexan cover.....325

 

There is a bezel...like a bracket you mean right? I saw some pics on a miata forum a while ago, I can't remember which one though, but the kit does come with a bezel for the lights to fit in. It's a good looking kit methinks. I'll probably go with it for my kit.

 

i like that miata kit...reminds me of these:



i dont like "Angel Eyes" however...its too showy and just bleh IMO

 

Any progress pics?
