Sleek Headlight Users: What about the headlight button?

All you guys who have converted to sleek headlights, what do you use the left button on your dash for that used to pop the lights up and down manually? Anyone use that for something else? Boost gauge light, etc?

Oil slick, smoke bombs, ejection seat.
Would actually be a good switch for aftermarket foglights, fan mod, your flaming exhaust mod, whatever.

Well from the tone I dont know if you are guys are laughing with me, or at me... anyways I was looking for some ideas that are outside of the obvious... anyways, thanks.

And by the way if the flaming was due to the fact you think replacing the pop-ups is immoral, then you can stick with your stock rims as well and continue to look like a ***** miata...

I don't think anyone is laughing at you, so settle down. The problem here is people are being sarcastic for fun, not putting you down. It's hard to get that when you can't hear the inflection of their voice, so instead, we use or or , etc.
My post above about the "Freakin flamers" wasn't even intended for you, but a friend of mine, so disregard (I tried to relay that with the "inside joke" note.
Don't worry man, it's all good

How does this have anything to do with being a Canadian or American? How do you know that I didnt move from the states yesterday... comments like that reveal the true ignorance Americans can only be proud of....

Anyways, I know its all jokes, but I figured I would hit a sore spot since most of these posts are whoring my thread... so might as well **** off the jokers... 2 can plan at this game old-timers

At least all this "whoring my thread" keeps it on the front page for you.
Honestly though, I've tried to give you a little info, settle the temper a little too, but this post is just plain
whorring

SilverRX7,

Best thing for the headlight button would be to push it and magically lose all insecurities about living in an inferior country and to stop worrying about people laughing at you. Hope this helps and good luck wiring it up.

Hmmm... well I spent all night thinking of the positive input, and from that decided that I would use the button for nothing. That way I would not be laughed at, and also, that way I could end this stupid thread, and bore you all to death at the same time.

Anyone know any "neat" things to do with the centre console switches?

maybe an ignition cutoff switch?
sequential to non sequential switch
boost limitation switch

and the stock rims don't make the car look like a ***** miata...the car makes the car look like a miata, they are both made by mazda you know. If someone confused our car for a miata they are so retarded that you shouldn't even be bothered by it. The RX-7 is probably the best car ever made in the world overall.

It is possible to turn either the headlight button or the extra center console button into a manual intercooler water sprayer to keep the temps down.

I like the foglight idea the best..or ignition cut off...(would that mean you have to flip the switch evertime before you started the car so no one could steal it?)

I think you should use it as a water/alchol sprayer button. I think if you want a fog light button buy one and install it in the center counsole.
