I'm having trouble finding a good place to purchase the following to items I'd like to put on my FD:



1) The brake ducts from the R1 model



2) Euro Spec Headlight Lenses. I got these for my Miata a while back and they make a world of difference. Can't seem to find them for the 3rd gen RX7.



Any suggestions?

Damn... no Euro Spec lenses...



Euro Spec Lenses tend to allow a brighter and longer beam pattern than US Spec Lenses. Made a world of difference on my Miata.



So what about the R1 Brake Ducts? Is this a dealer item? Anyone know the part numbers?

No, in europe they have different regulations about beam patterns and brightness so many manufacturers have headlight lenses for their European versions that have a superior and brighter beam pattern.



Hello does make SOME lenses. Not for the FD though. And you have to make sure you're getting Hella's EURO SPEC lense rather than US SPEC. Big difference.

Yeah but the FD uses a sealed beam headlight so you would just have to buy the headlights not the lenses.. and hella makes those lenses.. I think you can get them from Victoria british, but if you wanna make sure you get the european style Hella's try BMP Racing, since they sell BMW stuff, I have seen them in their catalog..
