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 :D 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
