Hey monstar, can you make those lights fit without cutting or shaping the actual car??? If so I'd love to see ur work and how you did it...and to the dude who did the photo shop..that is SICK.....I think there is quite a demand out there for lights like that...maybe they could be made so u could pick what color u wanted??? Let's get this going....someone somewhere can make these...I would DEFINITELY be in...

Love the headlights, but what about like the WRX has it and the turnsignal off to the side of the headlight. I really don't like the stock turnsignals.

I would consider this if the projectors were of excellent quality. Most likely they should be some Hella 90mm or Audi A6 xenon D2S ones. $700 seems very high though. For that price, I could make my own and have HID lights too.~A

Ok, I will be getting plastic molds made up tomorrow. There is a carbon fibre option but cost is too high. The housing unit will mount up just like existing MX-3 heads for ease of installation. To answer a few questions..DJPRO, I sprayed the silver area of my Altezza's. My car is an AZ-3, 92 black, 1498cc B5 engine 5spd F25M-R. Black sheep of the MX3 family! I'll post pics as soon as engine swap is complete.mx3man83, I'm sure having them sprayed predefined paint colors is no problem. Black is all i need

Hy300, call it personal taste, but I think that integrated turn signals would look out of place - I reckon the turns as they are below the heads are perfect. I want to produce the heads inkeeping with Mazda's already tasteful shape and design.Aiden, right on the button. Each unit will house 90mm Hella's, high and low projectors. The price was a rough estimate for once off job. I've put together detailed specs and plan, my aim is quality. I want lamps that are at least as reliable as my Zoom Zoom.I will post a new topic with pics asap. Please continue feedback here cause group buy will generate savings.

I had to shave the head light mx-3 shapes. That easy to do..just need a saw and sand paper. But the the bolt in screws are total different and its its does fit sit correctly...so i have to just a few adjustment...I should have it completed in the next few weeks. I have to find time between my job...and the big time consumer...my wife

id much rather see a mx-3 projector headlight w/ wither a black or chrome housing and a clear lens w/ no texture. I dont really like the no lens look ive seen it on some cars around here and it breaks up the lines of the front end too much.

I_love_my_MX-3, I thought of that one already! Get those GTS clear head covers. Since these custom heads will follow the contour of the existing heads, you'll have nice clear lens cover

AZ-3, If the quality is there, and lots of pics are posted(from every angle out of the car, and installed) and the price comes down a little(around $450.00-$500.00 USD) I will get a set from you. Keep us posted thanks

Please correct me if I am wrong. I assume that you just took Focus (Hella)headlights (new/wrecked)and molded them on the existing outer lens, blacked it out, smoothed it out and viola. My questions are these. Besides mounting Hella 90/120 mm units at the front through the hole. What mounting options were you utilizing inside. There are four mounting points for Hella units like that. Did you retain adjusting screws that came with projectors? I know you would not being able to use Mazda factory headlight adjusters to adjust the whole healdight assembly together (like in US/Canada) as you are in Europe and have H4 based headlights with internal adjusting reflector. Are you using H7 or H9 units? 90 mm or 120 mm? Lastly, can't see how you could justify the price of 450-500 USD when a set of Hella 90mm H7 units cost max of 120.00 USD, that is 240.00 USD for all four. Another 210-260 USD could only be justified (barely) if you made a whole hew headlight housing. Again, based on assumptions above. Please enlighten.
