Low Profile Headlight Conversion for the FC?

i own a 91 FC... i was doin some research on some headlight conversions, i've never been a big fan of the big flip up headlights, always wanted some low profile headlights to replace the OEMs... i know the Miata has a headlight conversion by Moss Motors, is there any possible way i can use the the ones made for the miata and put it on my FC... or if any of you guys know of some sites that have conversion headlights for the FC, i would really appreciate it.

you gotta search man. there are tons of flush mount headlight questions. the answer is no, nothing is bolt in for the fc. except the eastbear kit which is really expensive and some people dont like the bug eye look of it. there are body kits that include lights but anything else you gotta make yourself.

thanks SMonty, man this makes it so frustrating to hear that... i've been searching for awhile now... but does that mean i can't convert the headlights using the Moss Product headlights for the miata on the FC? Probably have to be customized
?

anything is possible if you have the time, tools and money. Try it, see if you can modify it and if you can't then put it back together and resell it (unless you mess it up)

I used two blue PIAA fog lights mounted the sides of the PIAA lights brackets to the stock bracket- it fit right up, I have 2 per light, They are ridiculously bright, and they are very low pro. It also only cost like $20~ and about a 1/2 hr. they have that blue hue, and look/shine light HID lights, and with the $20 motor of ebay- they factory switch will turn them only to the precise setting, or you can go cheap like I did before and do thm manually and leave them up. I even eventually cut some sheet metal and covered the edging of the lights, it looks really clean.
