Mazda Miata Headlight Conversion & Tail Light conversion Thread

[diabeetus]

i really like the look of low pro headlights but dont think i wanna spend 500 just yet. i have seen the stock NA headlights that have been moded to only come up half way..
how well do the lights work after that? as far as brightness. pretty much what im asking is.. will i still be able to see at night?
and how hard is it to mod the lights in this manner?

thanks,
Corey

Are you referring to "sleepy eyes" where the stock popups are only half-up? If so, then you need to be aware that the headlights are not "functional" as headlights in this position. (How could they be, since they are pointed at your bumper?) This effect is achieved to let fresh air into the engine bay, and when the headlights are needed they must be returned to full-height.
