how big are the latest rx7 headlights?
 

does anyone know? i was going to get some and transfer them into my new project car (a 99 sunfire sedan) and was wondering if they would fit.. so if someone could measure there newer (or whatever year car was on the fast and the furious) headlights ... i would need the top measure.. bottom, height angle, and length... it would be sooooooooooooooooooo apreicated cause there are noooo rx7's in arkansas... thx you guys..

:cool:

Oh no, hell no, you are not putting an RX-7 headlight on your Sunfire! :blue:

WTF, are you talkin about the afermarket headlights or factory ??? either way id have to agree with "djantlive":nono:

I think the red rx7 in "the fast and the furious" used C-West headlights??, and I think he thinks they are factory '99 healights or something.

:wtf:

damn yall i just asked for some info. :( jeez i thought this was a "no flame" forum.... guess not.... are you gonna tell me the measurements or not? pleeeeeaaaaaase i really need to know.. and none of the sites that sell aftermarket lights will say how big they are....

And there's a reason that those sites don't tell you the measurement -- because THEY FIT THE CAR THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON. Monkey snocker.

lmao

Yeah I don't know the dimensions but you would have an easier time measuring the lights on a third gen, then comparing to your sunfire lights. I think even on sevens some of the bumper re-enforcement has to be cut out. Also I think that the seven's lights are indeed bigger then a sunfires.

it uses the re amemiya headlight kit, not the cwest.

The old Amemiya kit ... technically. ;) There are two.

whats the difference between the two? do you have any pictures of the new one? i wonder what the lighting pattern of the newer one is like, still shitty probably. :rolleyes:

Sorry I took a wild stab at it guessing it was the c-west headlight kit. I actually never went to see the movie, just going by what I remember from the pictures..

and those lights cost about $1500.

I cant imagine spending $1500 on a mod for a sunfire :rolleyes:

It would NEVER work. The angle of attack on the sunfire is too steep. Buying those lights would make it point straight at the floor, and not to mention the modifications you would need to install it on a sunfire. Why would ANYONE invest $1500+ on a lighting system for a sunfire???


I have a crazy idea but it just might work...

Sell the Sunfire, buy an FD, buy the lights, and install the lights ON the FD!!!!!!!

Smartest thing he could do... :bigthumb: Now I highly doubt he'll do it though.

Monkey snocker?!? Freakin' hilarious DK!!! I've got tickets for the NCSU vs. Chapel Hill game.... I'll see you there!!! (w/ a gasket set, some downpipe and midpipe gaskets, and a downpipe...)

Cool ... but the game is in Raleigh, so I won't be there (unless someone gets me tickets). We have to meet up, though. Did you go to NOPI and did you see my brother there? I have to laugh at you both for going, again. I don't even know what a monkey snocker is, but that Sunfire guy is one.

Oh here's the "new" Amemiya kit, though it's a couple years old. It's basically the same as the old one (probably same lighting), except the right side is missing a lamp and has an air intake hole instead.
