miata headlights
miata headlights
Ok here's my delimma. Car was smashed like 2 months ago, front end damage to the bumper, fender, rad, headlights etc. Currently, everything is set except the headlight. I don't want to put stock headlights back in this, so while I was replacing the headlight I figured I'd do a conversion of some sort.<p>I've read the thread about the projector headlight design, and that's all fine and good but my car's been out of commission for over 2 months now and I want it back NOW before summers over!<p>I heard a rumor that miata headlights have been put in before. I was wondering if anyone can confirm this, and maybe even have some pictures?

Re: miata headlights
Ken, a while back I think I posed a pic of an mx-3 with S2000 headlights on lomo. Not sure if it's still there or not. Also, a 2001+ Civic conversion has been done.<p>Good luck getting S2000 headlights though, they are 700+ from the Honda dealer.<p>Never heard of miata headlights in one.<p>-Rory
Re: miata headlights
Yeah I've seen the civic headlight conversion, didn't like that too much. They didn't seem to flow too well.<p>But take a look at the 2001+ miata's headlights. They're shaped exactly like the mx3, but a little bigger. I'm just wondering if everything will fit in. I'm hopefully selling the RS soon.

Re: miata headlights
Yeah, no kidding Taras. <p>My other conversion is projector headlights.<p>I used Hella Bi-Xenon projectors from a 2003+ Mercedes SL with the D2S bulb colour at 4100K. Everything is OEM so it's all still legal.<p>I have pictures, however, the "in-car" pictures are horrible since my hood is still hacked up from the last conversion.<p>All I have for now is just pictures of the finished headlights outside of the car.<p>~A

Re: miata headlights
Hey RCool, he does have pics of his projector lights finished, as I have seen them. If that would be me, I would not submit them for public viewing. Aiden, I think you need to get better shots of them to have better quality photos.
