New (eBay) lighting option for your FD?
Has anyone tried this kit? The Knightsports kit is the only one I've ever seriously considered for my FD because I love the pop ups.
This looks like another choice

i like the concept...just not digging the whole ebay look if you know what i mean. I would be curios in just getting the housings and retrofitting like a acura tl hid lens in place of the classic ebay lens

I dont get it, the KS originals arent that much more. Lemmie check...
O GOD WHY! I'll get the orignals anyway.
Thank you Natey for taking the bullet for all of us. Sorry it didnt work out . I believe I have a set of evo lights (from rx7store) that look like the stock pop-ups and to be honest Im not that impressed with the quality. When I got mine, one was missing a gasket and one of the ballasts wasn't working. To Jason's credit, he did manage to get me a new gasket and a new ballast (not a matching one) without sending the broken one back. If I learned anything from my experience, its that I should just spend the money on authentic lights.

There was a thread started on here a while back (I think the mods removed it because it started looking like a group buy) that will be the ultimate if it is completed. Simply a nice looking pop-up with projector hid with appropriate/sharp cutoff -- and a high beam to blow you away on open roads! It's amazing how many "less than ideal" lighting kits have been created for the fd rx7, yet none of them offer the basic abillity to light the road like a modern car with good lighting!

The issue with the KS lights is that they are now discontinued and they sell for a high premium over in Japan - that is why our prices for a used kit are pretty close to the price of a new kit when they were available. However, we do offer very good deal's on HID's kits when we find them.

Ramy sells 'em for about $800 for the non-HID.

Well we get our parts from a variety of places, but all of our ks lights come from one place. Basically, their are companies in Japan that buy heavily modded fd's for dirt cheap and part them out (they make a killing). So, each week I get a list of parts that are for sale, when I find something I like,I notify my partner and he purchases them. Thus,they really aren't trading them in for anything. To be honest, the KS light kit isn't know for having the greatest light output.

EVO-R was the person with the thread and we tried to twist his arm to make a HID kit.
I think he sold his prototype and the quality of what Natey received is appalling. I have seen his sleek kit and i was not impressed and I am less so now. Here is the link to his website. Scroll halfway down for the pop up kit and note you can't order it:

The pic almost looks photoshopped to me. Look at the gap (or where it is filled in) on the top edge of the shroud. Also look at the how the lights don't fill the circles in the shroud. Could this be a pic of the KS shrouds and not the EVO-R ones?
