i like number one for the not hacked look. It already looks like its lowered more than stock, the other one is a bit too far and looks cheesy all hacked up.

Please just keep the stock lights 'look' and modify them for HID's or something. All of these aftermarket lights look like *** IMO

You can always go the junk yard route as well and get some ligths from any car that had projector lights, simply rip out the projector light portion with its mounting tabs and such.

Heres the kit you couldn't find. Right on the first page of the GB section..

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=610003


He can probably run another GB if there is enough interest.

Perhaps, buy two pieces of lexan to put in front of those round lights, and add a flat black surround on em= JDM look that any honda owner will appreciate!

(Actualy, I'm being serious, the way they are right now looks more rice than anything...)

Thats funny, this guy -->https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=610003 is using the exact same lights I pointed out (REAL head lights.... really really GOOD ones at that AND are DOT legal not shitty fog or "driving lights" which have no true high or low beam patterns) and his kits are a measily $350 and he even offered them at $315.00 for first 5 buyers. Motorized comes with new linkage, $40.00 grand total less then $400.00. I've been around this forum for a long time, the whole dual headlight thing has come and gone by MANY people. None of the kits really took off, as the FC is an older car now owned primarily by kids who are broke.

which makes having one of the dual head light kits installed kind of nice. sets the car apart from the rest of the crowd. If i remember right there was a company out there (knight sport i think) that made a dual headlight kit with shrouds and what not, but i think the lights became fixed. Could be wrong though. I just remember that a kit like that was extremely expensive 700+.

I completely agree with that! I can almost justify 400 bucks for that reason. But not 700. heh
