Well, there's a GB for this kit on the other forum, and I'm wondering what you all think of these lights? I'm considering snagging a set..

You need a headlight cover anyway right? Why not just go ahead and do the conversion if you like it?

i think it looks better than most. snag away..

I've long considered the sleek look, but I like the fact that everything on my car can be reverted to stock. Sleek lights involve cutting the rails and I'm not sure I'm on board with that yet.. I do need a headlight cover (to be painted), so in essence, going to sleek lights would just at several hundred dollars to an otherwise relatively inexpensive fix.



I dunno even why I'm thinking these.. it's not like I have money to spend.. I love credit, though.

I like flippies anyway, so it's not an issue for mine.

Yeah, I like "flippies" too. Thanks for making it clear to me! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

The stock lights aren't bright enough-

Yeah, that's all I did and now they're just fine. The original ones were pretty weak though.

before halogens people drove around with sealed beams and could see fine



get a set of driving lights if you need more lighting



I say leave the stock lights, unless your going to go "all out" on the car then the light conversion completes things.

keep the stockers, get some HID's.

Ok, lol. Not reallt a matter of lighting, more a matter of combining projects - my headlight covers need to be repainted anyway, so I was thinking of just getting non-flippers

The stock headlights look terrible when they're up.



Those ones aren't too bad, they kind of stick up above the profile of the fender - hood - bumper so I'd have to see them in person before I decided I liked them.

Where did you purchase the bulbs?

Haha, actually came with the car because the previous owner didn't bother installing them.

They shouldn't be hard to find, Just look out for xenon or halogen - no need for new lenses at all, they have next to no impact on the brightness.

Now that you explain it more, it would be a cool thing to do. I never liked them on FD's honestly. They look good on FC and FB's. Of course we know why that is, because FC's and FB's are ugly.

Thanks Dude.

i dont like the kits that arent flush with the body, it fucks up the lines.



like sure they might look nice in a front shot, but from the cockpit or a side angle the car looks like it has pimples.



kevin.

I like the lights that only pop up half way. Lazy eyes I quess...

That's one of the last things on my list.

Steve, if you dont do it you're FD, I will :-D

Here is another sleek light that is in the GB also.

They are from EVO-R Inc. They are doing a GB on the other RX-7 forum.

now THOSE are nice



kevin.

I'm liking the second ones better. If I had the cash that would be my choice. No cutting required either apparently.

Yep those are really nice. But damn, what an ugly ass front end that FD has. Looks Supra-ish?

abflug?

Is it? I dont follow FD body kits very closely.

Does anyone know what kind of lights those are in the first picture.

Thanks,



Chuck

I'm pretty darn sure those are East Bear lights.

I dont know i checked out a few pics of the east bear lights they look different. The ones in the first picture look like they have projectors which the east bear kit does not have.
