I could care less about the looks. I just want the road to be illuminated. i hate my stock lights, idk how far new bulbs would go or if its the actual design?

Dont blow these off because they aren't HID, or some blue colored light. I am willing to bet these will perform as well as (if not out perform) any headlamps . . Now in all fairness, these are not DOT/SAE approved, but on low beam you will never have an issue. Good for anything you drive, they are Hella Euro Conversion headlamps(std. sizes only). The special glass lenses are made with equip. used to make camera lenses. You will notice the unique flukes & ridges in the glass which accurately aims light where you need to see. On low beam (200% more light than halogen headlamp) all the road surface, L&R sides/curbs/ditches/etc. and above you are all precisely illuminated w/o bothering oncoming traffic or vehicles in front of you. I love my 93R1, but the 'plastic" OEM lights left alot to be desired. Especially after driving with these in other cars since age 16. They come with 55/65 watt bulbs, but your gonna want the 55/100 watt ones, 5400' on high beam. This are some sweet headlamps. I did not want to add aux. lights cosmetic wise and did not want to block any air inlets. I think you get the best light output with the pop-up lights because they allow the downward projected light to clear the front nose. My car sits low and I hate hittng potholes. These make you feel safer driving at night in any situation. Many of my friends who rode with me at night went out and bought some of these the very next day.

The Hella 5x7's are the biggest that will fit and are close to the OEM size. Having a set of 5x7's in my Toyota Supra I purchased some new OEM Toyota parts for the custom install. OEM parts from other vehicles using 5x7's would probably work as well, but I new the Supra pcs. so I used them. Purchased a pr. of 1985 Supra headlamp bezel pans (black steel pans that headlamps mount in) and a pr. of 5x7 stainless steel retainers. Along with new Hella lamps and 55/100 watt bulbs. Your gonna need a dremel tool too. After removing the OEM lights remove the OEM bezel pans. You will need to take the dremel tool with a cutting wheel and cut out the centers of the OEM pans. Basically youll use the outer frame of the OEM pans and the inner part of the Supra pans to make a custom pan. This pan will mount back in the RX7 headlight housings, but will properly hold the Hella 5x7 headlamps. You know how there are quality products and then there are some products that are just night and day compared to anything else? These headlamps are one of those products.

I am assuming you are referring to retrofitting the OEM pop up case with a HID light? Not the ones discussed by the OP?

That's what I was thinking too.

Also, jmadams guy was probably talking about the thread where someone retrofitted a set of projector lamps into his stock pop up housing. I posted in that thread in an attempt to "tag" it, but it looks like it's been deleted. Bummer, because he achieved almost a perfect cut-off and the finished product didn't look Frankensteined or hacked-up at all.

I love my pop-ups, but I hate the output of light they...put out.

This issue has been resolved. EVO-R has given me a full refund. Thanks to GoodfellaFD3S, fd3s777 and especially the RX-7 Club.

I'm glad to hear that after your persistence, as well as GoodfellaFD3S's, that it worked out for you. Any chance you'll be getting in on the sakebomb GB? I love mine, I feel like I need to buy a daily that has as good of headlights now, lol, the '07 Civic coupe doesn't cut it.

I'd love to get a set of genuine KS lights, but I hear that the lighting isn't all that great anyway. The Sakebomb ones look real nice, and there is at least one other person fabbing some pop-ups for our cars. I'll probably stay tuned for awhile and see who finishes theirs first.

Thanks again to the RX-7 Club for helping this ordeal get sorted out.
