Someone did a 300ZX like headlights mods on their headlights here. It was a blue and white TII.

As soon as the mold release arrives, I am resuming production. If you search under my name and Headlight Prototype you should find it. I am sure that a lot of people thought I was leading them on, but I got married, moved (twice), and joined the military since I started that project. I hope to be shipping finished pieces in three weeks.

Here's a few homemade ones:

vaughnc, that's only one.

i like e6k's one i'd like to make one like it. it shouldn't be that hard if you are patient and are willing to purchase the correct materials.
it's a lot harder for e6kt2 because he is making them for customers if it's just for yourself you can have some extra gule showing and things like that with out to much complaints

autocrash

E6KT2: you have a final price on those yet?

mac_dad6

i dont want the popup ones i want the ones that have the sock headlight but they lay down and have a plastic cover over them.

E6KT2's kit is a non pop-up version that sits slightly above the hoodline... take a look at them..
They don't require any modification to the front bumper... (I don't think...)

vaughnc

I couldn't find the pics of the "lexan covered" recessed headlights. He just replaced the stock headlights with homemade recessed headlights.

That dude's car is blue with white stripes going slanted from nose to rear.

Anyone else have that picture? I think he's in from AL or somewhere in the SouthEast.

BTW - you can buy the border headlight kit replacement for pretty cheap. They have 3 styles now I believe.

autocrash

where can I see the border headlight kit?

vaughnc

ooops, I ment East Bear

These look pretty good. They stick up slightly, but bolt directly on. Several US distributers sell them.

I personally prefer the pop up lights instead. I believe they dont make much cars with popup nows since manufacturers are going for that sleek look. The pop ups give that edge to the seven that it is a true sports car.

KiyoKix

I prefer pop-ups, but for the ultimate low drag on the 7 I'm thinking about getting the east bear light kit (don't know what bumper to get yet).

darkwaveboi

those look kinda fugly. I personally think pop-ups are a SYMBOL of the rx7

i8acobra

nah, the symbol of the rx7 are the flames shooting out the *** end :-D

Someone revived my old thread. There are pics in there. I ordered mold release yesterday. It should be here tommorrow. I now have a garage with 24hr access. That's not easy to do when you live in an apt. That's why the timeline has been accellerated again. Feel free to PM me with any further questions if you want. Also, I think there are a few people who responded long ago, and they will get prefered status as the kits roll out.

autocrash

hehe... I brought it back from the dead... look forward to seeing some finished product pix (hint)
