I love my 2002 NB8C very much. It has all the safety and comfort features I need. I'm slowly altering its more modern look to harken back to 60's era.
I was very, very fortunate to locate a billet grille from Mike at Miata Kingdom who had the last of the hand made grilles done by Glen Swensen of Roberts Auto Sport in Phoenix. If ever you find one don't hesitate to buy it. You'll be impressed by its quality.IMG_4095.jpg

I went with a retro-modern approach on my interior. I got rid of most of the exposed plastic and replaced it with leather or fabric covered surfaces, but used modern spacer mesh for the covering. The simplified interior, center console delete, flat door cards and chopped dash center, are reminiscent of older, more open cockpit designs. A classic Nardi leather steering wheel and chrome parking brake pair with a modern Raceseng hybrid shift knob. The doors have Porsche-style pull loops and retro-style switches under the dash control the windows.

I've added a few external changes to bring my NB8C closer to the classic look I'm hoping to achieve. From Jass Performance the Chrome/Black LED Side Indicators. The chrome luggage rack from Racelands. The Zoom Engineering - Retro Racing Fuel Lid and the superb REV9 Runabout M2 Mirrors.20190107_164216.jpgIMG_8352.jpg20190107_164021.jpg20181215_152656.jpg20181210_182320.jpg

I think it is as easy as swapping the two wires to the light.
Here is how I would do it..
1. Disconnect the two wires but leave the ground wire attached to the bulb assembly.
2. Turn on the lights. Use a test light to check which wire is being powered.
3. Take that powered wire and touch it to the each bulb assembly wires one at a time. One wire should yield a brighter light than the other. You should attach that wire to the dimmer bulb wire.
4. Now attach the other wire that is remaining.
5. Hit your brakes and see if everything is working properly now.

Antonis' retro-inspired NB, spotting my old set of Wats (which ended up in the right hands)
IMO really well executing the retro theme!

As I'm still aiming for the retro modern look, it was time to replace the RFP1s for something more classic. I've always like the look this style brings. These are Rota RBs in 15 X 8 +25 and fitted with 205/50. No scraping either which is a bonus.

I have removed mine, but nose looks empty without it. The NB one is much better as it is smaller, but I have some Revlimiter goodness to be installed.
