Say, do any of you happen to know of a maker of replacement flash-to-pass lenses? I'm missing one, and I know I can scrounge until I find someone parting out a car and maybe get it from them, but if I can replace both lenses with nice new parts, even better.



Any ideas? I know rx7.com sells a pair of Japanese-model lenses with "integrated city lights" - anyone know if those are an easy bolt-in replacement for a US-model (87) Rx-7?

The only ones I know of are the j spec ones.

It is two nuts, I think 10 mm, that hold them in, and you would have to wire up the city lights. I don't think it would be too hard.

Yeah, it's simple. This guy has them:

I hear the light kits are really expensive.

I think that the Japanese FTP lights are about $175.

That's not much more than a pair of stock FTP lenses.

Yeah, it's called the shaft pricing plan.

I was checking how to take them off of my TII and the passenger side one broke. Instant cold air intake. I was at the track when it happened, but I don't know if it helped my times or not.
