    Seems to just be the left side lens and nothing else. They are selling the right lens separately.

    I have not seen rectangular fog/driving lights on a Miata yet.
    I will need to search Google images to see how they look on a car with rounded lines.

    This would more likely be used for a DIY rectangular headlight setup.

    I still have a few sets of these. Not just the replacement lenses, but complete kits.

    I used one set to replace the crappy lights that came with the RS Active kit I had in my car.

    Here it is with the RS Active shrouds and PIAA 960 lights. They bolted right into the RS Active bracket.

    Would you be willing to let go of one of those extra few sets you still have? I want to try and retrofit my RS Active Type 2 headlights with these as well. Do they make a big difference in light output? PM me if so. I'm definitely interested.

    Yes, the worked MUCH better than the original cheapo RS Active lights. They made a decent difference in output, but you are still dealing with a fog beam and a pencil beam. So the pattern isn't really like a headlight beam. I ran them with a set of OEM foglights and the combo performed well enough that it was acceptable.

    I'll dig out the lights to double check what I've got.

    On edit: You're in California? You have to prove you've sold and shipped parts OUTSIDE California before I'll deal with you. (CR Joke, #original100members)

    Good to see you back on here Jason! I'm also really interested as my RSA's output is only bearable in LA given all the ambient lighting at night compensates. Did you match them with the JDM fogs?

    My '92SE came with the dealer installed OEM clear fogs. When I restored them I mixed and matched the parts and used the yellow inner lenses from a JDM set I had. You can see them in my build thread on this page:

    http://mazdaroadster.net/showthread....me-build/page3

    Even without a bulb upgrade, the fogs were necessary to help fill the lighting with the RSA headlights. I ran some hotter bulbs in the RSA housings without much improvement. I used the 55watt bulbs that came with the PIAA housings and they were a great improvement.

    Im not sure how recent or old this advertisement is but there is a set here for sale for $250. This version has the outside lens showing the slotted lines. Also 3 sets on YJP but priced at around $400 per set.
