EVO-R FD DEMON-i sleek headlight kit new release
Thanks for your understanding. I do this cuz I love RX-7. I have 2 FD , 1 FC3c and 1 3 rotor cosmo. Just love rotary. I'm putting my passion for these cars to make parts for you guys.If you do somehting you love, it will be perfect. Cuz we want it to be perfect. Currently only the driving light is not set yet. Doing more test on the lights.
I'd have to respectfully disagree to the above. There is still a lot of time in R&D in replicas as well, as confusing as that may be. Evo r still has to make sure the lights fit extremely well or they will be bombarded with phone calls and returns. I agree one could make a set of lights themselves for a reasonable amount of materials, but you have to ask yourself what is your time worth if you were building them to sell? Your time becomes much more expensive when it's not for personal use. Perhaps a better approach would be to just to sell the housings and lenses themselves and let the consumer provide his own projectors etc, then no fault would be on Evo r's hands in the first place.
The light units themselves are another issue as I see it. Evo r wants to make a quality product but at a reasonable cost, this is not an easy task, if it was then everyone would do it. I am familiar with the light issues in previous lights and understand everyones skepticism, but to be frank there is a reason people are interested in these over the hwl and of course r magic and that's price.
I have never owned an Evo r product but I do applaud their efforts for continuing to make products for our cars that our in the majorities of ours price range, I choose to be patient and scour the forum daily for deals.

Curious...what's that reason? I see these as pretty close to the hwl & I'm not seeing one way better than the other. Just the preference of a lens and plastic surrounding each light.
Maybe you should have an option for PIAA lenses and then the other option for the ones you decide to go with. That way if people start complaining about the light output of the cheaper set they can only blame themselves.
I do this all the time when I fab parts for people or do timing belts on friends cars. You can pay me to replace everything or just the belt. If the water pump goes after its only their fault. Just my opinion.

I'd have to respectfully disagree. He has sold normal Evo-R (RE-A knock offs) lights for years, and I would assume getting the fitment right on these should be somewhat similar (mounting brackets are probably the same, etc...) Also, from the looks of it, the R&D was spent buy another company. Making a mold of some other company's product and manufacturing it in china does not take much money. If we are buying replicas, we should be paying replica prices (good example: shine auto body parts)
I'm glad parts are still being made, and hope he keeps it up, but use previously spent R&D from and learn from past products and do it right.

First, I applaud these folks for working on new innovative solutions for our aging RX7's. . .But, I have never seen anything that comes close to the Sakebomb HID headlight kit. The looks (absolutely stock--which is how our lights look the best by far) and the lighting/cutoff, etc. are amazing! (All of this IMHO of course). . .
Finally the light I ordered came in. Installed them. Took pics of hi and low beam. Low beam is 12V 55W driving light. Comes with LED parking light inside. Hi beam is 60MM projector lights. Both lights are SAE approved. Kit comes with full relays and wiring.
