Bad news for fb :(
Well I have some bad news for the FB. :( The headlights will not fit the FB because of a depth issue. The headlight buckets are extremely shallow and fold down completely flat against the frame rail behind them. If they were to fit you would have to take a hole saw and punch a hole in the center of the headlight bracket continuing through the sheet metal of the frame rail. While this is doable, most people will not want to punch holes in their car and as a result we may have to drop the FB HID option. We are producing them for the miata as there is more room in the bucket to fit the headlights, but we wont specifically offer them for the FB because of the required hacking. If you are still interested we could make them available but as far as modifying your car to make them work you would be on your own. It looks like it would be possible to make them fit with modifications but it's far beyond what I would consider selling as a drop in "kit" . Sorry guys :(

thanks |
does this change pricing for us fc guys? does it mean you will still be running it for us?
|
I am really bummed out now my entire day is shot, Thanks
At least you were test fitting them and not just cranking them out and saying good luck. so the FB is still in the dark and our best option is prob the hella upgrades or something like them. I appreciate all the hard work/effort in this and still look forward to seeing more Great products from SAKEBOMB GARAGE but since the lights for us FB guys didn't work out we need something to look forward to,so what sort of projects are you still wanting to do? |

:( That sucks that the design of the FB won't allow for a HID retrofit. Thanks for trying.

Well we may try a shorter projector but honestly, they are just too deep for the FB as the buckets fold up flat onto the vertical frame rail. If you want to take a hole saw to your frame rail they should fit... but most people wont want anything to do with that so the FB project will probably just get the axe.
-Heath Yeah I'm not into boring holes into my FB. what other projects you working on for the FB? |

The FC lights fit great and we are going ahead with them. We'll open up the FC groupbuy in the next day or so. :icon_tup: :egrin: I'm slowly writing it now at 2am lol. I'll make sure it won't change pricing... if we have to eat the extra cost, or build the rear shrouds by hand so be it. $799 or bust. We'll come through
-Heath[/QUOTE] Whats the word? |

RotorMotor,
Could you let me know what all would be involved with getting the miata setup to work? Possibly pictures to see what one would be cutting? I've got a bastard child SA and have no qualms cutting if needed. Just want to see what all is involved. |
