MX-3.com

Hi mx3.com, I originally posted this info over@mazdaworld, but was told this was the

main community for MX3 owners.. so MOST of this is gonna be copy & paste..


Before I get into the meat, just felt I should let you know more about me/spyder:

My name is John and I am a wholesale sales rep @ Spyder Auto, located in City of Industry, CA.
We're the main distributor for manufacturer, Sonar Lighting Co. I am not here to sell our product, but to
gauge the interest of the consumers for our upcoming products. Unlike most employees of companies that
are involved in the industry, I actually am an enthusiast that participates on forums and attends meets normally..
(I've been on SocalEvo.net for over 2yrs with my previous evo 9 and now evo x.) But enough about me..

Sonar Lighting Co. has produced a projector headlight for your 92-96 Mazda MX3! They're a Halogen-based projector
but are compatible with HID systems (if the Manufacturer doesn't know).. More info to come.. Post your Q's if you have em..
They'll be available in Black and Chrome.. More pics to come.. All feedback is welcome, as that is the sole reason I'm here.

YES! I'm glad to see you made it here! I'm anxiously awaiting more pictures, including fitment pictures (how they fit and look on the car) and what they look on in the "on" position, including the brightness level in front of the car. What bulbs would we need to use? What would we need to do to make them work with HID kits/ bulbs? I'm assuming it's a plastic lens cover? What material exactly? How long before they need to be buffed out (like the civic projectors)?

After years of people begging, trying to get them made, and retrofitting Civics... boom, outta nowhere, here they are! Many people will be very happy (If the design, and price are right). I would like a much simpler design, like that of a high end car, such as Mercedes, Porsche, etc.. It looks like the turn signal is in there, which is aAWESOME!
It's too bad you didn't know about this site before making them.. You would have gotten ALOT of feedback for R&D, and come up with a design we'd all agree on. If you're into changing the design, this is the place for feedback!
THANKS for making these!

AT LAST! I think they look great already and I would purchase them depending on price and whether I can get away with them in a RHD in the UK. My points and critism would be:
-a bit over complicated, the mx3 is a simple flowing design IMO the simpler the better
-again go for the higher end car look, even similar to the mazda 6s projectors, projectors with a chrome ring

or just plain and simple like rx7 aftermarket:

-would definately prefer black
-I still like angel eyes, especially compared to Audi's Chritmas tree approach

Overall I'm ecstatic to see these on their way, and aside from RHD potential aiming issues I would buy these right now.

Yes have been reluctant to mod Honda lights but was getting desperate. When will you post pics and prices or links? I went to your site and saw nothing about Mazda.
EDIT Ok just logged on at home and I can see the pics now. Nice looking head light. The all encompassing question is,,,,,,How Much? Patiently awaiting answer.

I think just seeing pictures in black would answer alot of questions.

I really like the design except for the 3 LED's... but maybe I will change my mind if I see it in black

all i have to say is:



ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!!!!!
i think this warrants the word DAMN!

I think the LED's would work best if they were hidden more, and not so obvious - like mooneggs said, it might look alot better in black. Personally, the LED's are mixed in my eyes - I don't really care if the lights have a turn signal or not in them, I just want a clean look like marcdh.

It is fantastic that these are going to be made available. I would definitely want a pair depending on the look and cost. It is difficult to judge my overall response until I see them on the car. Cost will also be a factor. Do you have a tentative selling price?

Awesome, lets see some installed pics.

Definitely would be looking at getting a black set though, chrome is outdated.

What kinda price range are we looking at here?

nice!!

would really like to see them in black.

looks really great, would also like to see them fitted in a mx3 and also see the black ones installed on a mx3.

i want a set 100% write me up for one

Although the chrome would best resemble the stock headlight look... of which I am a fan. I would have to see the black to compare and then see them installed!

Everybody:
If we all agree on a single design, we can all get it for a better price than if he had to make several. This is very forseeable, since so far we agree. Fortunately, most of us have very similar taste, and don't have to argue between the the spectrum of simple to bling. A simple black design would be easiest to manufacture, so that's good.
I would be happy with a set that looks like the Civics that would fit right in. I would like there to be a turn signal in the outer part, but would be fine without it.

bump cuz i got in trouble for taking poor quality pics w/ my messy desk.. haaha..

Those look dope!
