Re: Reggie's MY07 NC
ok one light is all painted up to how i wanted it
i got the giude off this thread on the big forum
http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.ph ... =headlight
When i pulled them apart, i found out they are acually the proper HID headlights, as found in the GT models in Japan. They take the D2S bulb and not the traditional H7....means i have to buy another HID kit though
So will not need to retrofit the TSX unit to the light
score!!!
I will be using the TSX-R Clear lense though. Should give the ultimate cutoff pattern with funky rainbow colours
now going off that here are some progress pics.
I painted the shroud fluro green to give the headlight a evil look from some angles. Anyways here is todays efforts

Still have to do some more resto work on the clear plastic, and wait for my clear lenses to arrive
apart from that, they should be installed next week sometime
