Do you have any pics of the LED driving lights? I'm quite interested

Looking great!

Definitely let us know how that bearing goes too. I've got one of those in at the moment and I'm pretty sure it's gone again. Apparently they're all failing.

they are in mighty fine condition & working great on the shelf in my garage

never put the dodgey things in, i just bought them just in case i had to replace them whilst i had it all apart. :roll:

For nanotech, but u can get them in black too & they are around the same size of the original fog lights but with more WAY MORE output.

Woah that is cool. I just googled them and the light output looks seriously good. I think if I did get a set of those I'd hit up the blacks.

Do you have idea of the cost? Also where would you score a fog light switch? Because I was contemplating getting fog lights far ages then switching them out for driving lights but I couldn't find the interior switch for them at all :cry:

Let me know if you have any luck because I think I'll have to try this myself.

Awesome! Everyone needs more MX5 part ornaments. I approve.

Car has come up a treat compared to when you got it, credit to you.
There is a genuine Mazda fog light switch available from MX5 Parts, bit expensive though.

also maybe have a look at wrecking yards.

I wouldn't be surprised if the fog switch for the NA was the same as that of a Mazda 323 or Ford Laser.

Been busy as the last couple of days.

31/5/11

2nd roadworthy :/ as that i could not afford to pay for the rego the first time around

Left hand rear shocker failed me on the test today :/ & same with the front right (not pictured)
a quick call to MX5 Factory in ringwood sorted me out.

The aftermath of my failed front main & various other gaskets under the car. (eventualy i will fix this weeping issue)

Yeah.... common thing in a Na.

Happy now
