Quad Headlights

I was wondering if anyone has adapted the miata quad headlight kit from Brainstorm Performance. I think it would look great, and I plan to use it, but I wanted to see if anyone else has. Go to the lighting and electrical link. The rest is pretty self explanitory from there.

With some work, it probably can be done; however must Miata owners claim that their night visibility was GREATLY reduced after the installation of the BSP headlight conversion.

IMHO, if you have to put $$ or time in order to make fit or work, might as well go with a set made for the FD.

My assumption was that the mechanism would be similiar between the RX7 and Miata. Do you happen to have a link I could find the quad setup for the FD at?

Hold it, are you talking about the ones that pop up, or the ones that replaces the entire headlight with some plexi glass on top?

Are you talking about these:

Spending time and $$$ on these, I would rather spend it on ones for a FD!

or

these:

On this case, it probably will be easier\cheaper to go custom, somebody already did on this forum; can't remember the thread

This would be good if the lighting is improved and if it is H4 compatible.

I know they have them for the Miata. I emailed Brainstorm Perf., and they said they've had people order them for their RX7's before however they don't know anything more than that. Does anyone know how similiar the mechanisms are between the FC, and the Miata? As much as I want to drop weight from the front end I like the pop ups, and I really like the way the FTP lens looks. It's different. That last set pictured looks better than these though.

You can go with custom lighst, and then use the pivot headlight adjuster (check ebay) in order to control the height

It would end up costing the same amount either way. The 90mm modules from hella make up a fair price on the pop up kit you showed. The height adjuster kit and incidentals would make the price even out.
