    Bodyshop Hayashi - Flush Type Lamp Conversion

    Bodyshop Hayashi - Flush Type Lamp Conversion

    Showcased at the 1992 Tokyo Auto Salon this was Jack Hayashi's cleaner than clean example of how to make a miata his own. This headlight conversion was probably the most expensive, but also the best designed even to date. The headlights look like fix mounted types but actually retain the stock headlight motors to raise the headlight housing from the rear to better aim the light output onto the road. This helps to compensate for the slope of the Miatas front nose and hood area. Whereas most low profile kits will actually make you lose a bit of your night time vision. He made 2 versions of these, first was a flash clear lid, and the 2nd version had the double bubble humps as seen below on Greg G's Miata.

    Hayashi Body Shop also produced a retro tail lamp setup (out of production) however Barchetta & TRAP now produce the same versions.

    Availability = Out of production since 1999
