Does anyone know why the headlight conversion for the 3rd gen Rx cost so much?? Most kits I've seen cost somewhere around $1000. I can't figure out why. Or does anyone know of a place to buy them for cheaper.
Thanks,
Kevin

 

Everything for the FD is expensive. Get used to it.

The cheapest sleek light kit (and probably the one with the best lighting) is here:

The easiest sleek kit to install is the C-West kit. The others require cutting to get them installed (AFAIK).

 

Trust me, I know how expensive 3rd gen parts are, I've had mine for 5years, but I think that $1000 for new head lights is a bit exsessive, don't you?

It really doesn't matter what we think of the price. That's how much they cost. There are a lot of things I think are more expensive than what they should be, besides FD parts. That's not going to change how much they cost though.

Personally, I hate sleek light kits. I like the pop-ups. If/When I do upgrade my lights, it will be the Knight Sports kit:

 

Excessive to say the least but considering there arent a lot of FD's out there and even less buying the kits, they have to make some profit from all the R&D and time to make them. They don't sell in volume so the individual costs are up.

That knightsport kit is sweet.

 

I'd buy one in a heartbeat, if they made one in HID... If I'm going to drop 1.3K on a headlight kit I want it to look "NEW" or current, besides I feel a bit intimidated by the HID's especially when you're pushing you, and I want that when I'm pushing other people
But I agree Knight Sport is sweetness for Pop Ups, just not with HID, and I hear the beam pattern is worse than the stock headlights with Halogen (Blue-ish) headlights.

 

Hey Kevin! Didn't I meet you in Yuma?

 

Yeah, I traded the Viper and Hummer in for a VR '93 Rx with 18k miles!

 

Yeah all the light kits seem to be really expensive. Are there any kits out there that have hids? If not how long is it going to take to get a kit. Maybe one of us should start looking into it. If we had the money.

rotary extreme h.i.d. sleek light kit has great lighting

 

Hell yeah. The knightsports kit is the first one I'm going with too. I love the sleepy headlight look.

 

LMAO!! You're alright!

 

Are these available in the states yet?

I was thinking of making my own kit, more or less a copy of the Knightsports-kit.
But I'm worried about one thing and that is the pop-up engines..
Are the stock ones adjustable, or do these kits come with modified engines?

 

I remember some time ago that someone on the forum was makink there own conversion. You might do a search in the 3rd gen section on headlight conversion, you should find a couple threads on him doing his own. I'm pretty sure he said once he finished it he would start making them for us. Good luck.

Holy thread resurrection batman.

 

I have around $2000 invested into mine, (HID option ) gotta pay to play. not to mention all the goddamn hours ive spent reinventing the wheel to make them fit and look right...

wow i just noticed that after responding.

 

theres always the $200-400 ebay kits but they look like **** and i would espect the quality to be as well.

i think the evo-r is the best lower priced good quality kit, $4xx non hid or something?
