Where did you get the flush light kit from? Because I know that the flush light kits from CP Racing are supposed to be completely reversible, though I never seen it done before myself. Check out this link, I hope it helps you out.

By the way what are you going to do after you remove the flush mount lights? Let me know, thanks.

I don't know- the pic of the installed kit on the link you posted makes it look like the front bumper needs to be altered ( the FTP lenses removed and the bumper area cut away between the top edge of the FTP's and the hood. Not very reversible, at least w/o a new front bumper.

It doesn't require any cutting of the bumper or teh small panel above it. You don't even have to remove them I'm pretty sure. There's a thread somewhere on rx7club that has a very good pictorial tutorial. I doubt you can change them back without some major work though.

Exactly right.Those lights take some fiddling to get to fit right but they do look way better than OEM ones.Click on my sig to see them on my GT-X project.

The main problems are 1: CPRacing service sucks and their prices are high so you'll pay alot of money for months of waiting and trying to contact them 2: The light patern is not as good as you'd expect. I hear stock lights are better as far as lighting goes. I'd still like flush lights though. I wish somebody respectable made kits.
