Before I cut mine up, i wanted to see if you had an update ? Mostly:

1. How did you adjust the lights ? Aren't the stock headlight adjustment screws now gone ?

2. Do you have any trouble with the headlight door (on the hood) coming up at high speed ?

Thanks much.

Also, that eBay place is SUPERFAST - I had mine IN MY HANDS in 2 days. They don't answer e-mails though.

Hey why make them still a pop up? Could one not just glass these to the under side of the hood? Like slip them up throught the bottom and the edges that keep it from coming all the way through - glass those edges into the bottom of the hood. then you won't have to re paint anything (unless you want to reenforce it more and if you REALY want to - or jsut make it an excuse to repaint the hood or the entire car even) and then you won't have to deal with teh pop ups at all. That's what those lights were made fro when they made it for those 3rd gen rx-7s i got a buddy of mine around town with those to replace the popups on his 3rd gen. (god is that car fast! it makes this unholly sound when it makes it's 9.3 pass errrrrriiiiyawaaaaaaahhhhhh!... sweet)

but good idea for a mod ther man- there is also replacement sockets for all the gens of mr2s and the 2nd gen rx7s. there is also head light replacements for the corvettes- and the 240SXs - and i am sure that there are others to make it so the pop up are not an issue as they have been with many cars.

Have you condsidered the other cars that have retractable headlight replacements to make them projectors to do this kind of thing or did you just kinda run accross these especific ones?

Personally I just like the pop-ups . To me, they just look right on the car ...

PaulJK,

I just finished installing mine about an hour ago. As far as adjusting the lights go, they have their own screws at the back to adjust. It is fairly easy. I had to do a great deal of cutting, more so than I really wanted to do to get them to close properly. I still have a problem on one of them. I'll fix it tomorrow. I have to admit that I was very impressed with the quality of the lights. I was not expecting it for that kind of money. The "angel eyes" look great and just gives the car a whole new look. I'll post pics later. Hope this helps.

Well, here are my pics from tonight. I hope you all like them. I just love the "angel eyes".

Very nice!

How long did it take you?

The lights seem to sit a little too low in the bucket with them all the way up, like the bottom of the beam does not clear the hood. Can that be adjusted haf an inch or so?

I kinda like that look, gives it that 'sleepy eye' thing that I so love.

Did anyone else notice how the front bumper changed in the pics?

fierogtowner MAR 05, 09:55 PM
If you're talking about pic 1 & 3 then yes, I noticed it when you said something about it. You got a very good eye for detail. The bumper light in pic 1 is different from pic 3. hmm. why? sounds like a government conspiracy!
