There are a few kits out there.
Rotary Extreme's kit w/ the HID has the best visibility. I think the flush look is OK. The price is kinda high. If you have the money and like the flush look, this is your kit!
You can also put upgrade your lights to HID w/ the stock pop ups. I've read alot of people complaining about how the stock housings suck ***. That's the reason why our car's lights suck. The beam pattern isn't good and light is scattered all over the place. Putting HID in the stock housings will improve a lot over halogen lights, but the housings will keep the HID lights from being used to their full potential.
There is a new KnightSports HID kit. It's still a pop up, but I think it comes w/ a new housing that will yeild a better beam pattern.
A member of the RX7Club is making a pop kit w/ a projector low beam and a regular high beam. It's HID upgradable. It's looking good so far.Search for "RX7even".
If I have the money, I would get the Rotary Extreme one. It's $1400 for the fiberglass housing w/ HID. $1600 if you want carbon fiber housings.
It's not plug and play though. Gotta do some metal trimming.
I'm a broke ***, so I would go w/ the stock pop ups w/ HID lights or be patient and wait for RX7even's.

The lights on the Yellow car are not R-Magic lights. At least thats what Bozz performance told me.
I checked into it and the American distributor didn't know anything about them. Maybe a Japan only item?
I think they look the best

Mcullough kits are only $700CDN!!
And they're direct plug ins, not new holes!
Thought I'd throw that in!
Did one on a WRX this week!
Looks awesome! And **** they're direct plug in!!
Couldn't get any easier if you tried!!
So it doesn't matter which housings you have, just get the kit
with the corresponding bulb fitting!
Sorry, I'm a little excitable!

talking with exclamation points really gets your, ugh, point across!
i'm just going to wait for RX7even's kit. Last I heard Nick at N-tech had them and was screwing around with them. They will be the best bang for the buck IMO.
