are made by rotary run racing (now defunct) and they are the best looking headlights i\'ve ever seen for the FD.
Problem is, this is the ONLY car I have ever seen them on, so they may also be the rarest headlights ive ever seen for an FD. :( rubbish.

Anyone reckon it would be feasible to MAKE a set of these? framework, fibrglass, donor bulbs? I want I want I want. :)

Given the time i think i could make a fibreglass shell but i\'m not too sure about the lights to go in them.  I\'ve got a headlight conversion i can already work from so wouldn\'t be too taxing it\'s just the mould making that takes all the time.  Might look even better in carbon fibre....

As mazda bait said... making the mould is the time consuming bit....... also need to track down lights that are readibly available or it\'s a waist of time!!!  I\'m still looking for a set of lights I can use for a headlight conversion and I\'ve been looking for about  months now!!!!

Your better off getting hold of a pair and making a mould. I\'d ask Miguel at Newera, he would know a place to get them I\'m sure.

The only aspect I find that would be bad about the lights is you wouldn\'t have a high/low beam for your MOT and unless the light is HID it wouldn\'t be that bright.

Nice lights to go in them are Hella 90mm\'s  Thats what I used to convert my RE-Amemiya sleek headlights from omnidirectional to right hand symetrical.  They do them in left hand symetrical aswell.. And they have both high and low beam versions. Aswell as HID\'s

I\'ve seen these recently on a black FD, just cant think where!

Could have been ebay or this very forum.  The important thing is that they are out there!  I\'ll let you know if I find it again....

They were on this car in the for sale section  Here (http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29595)

I love these lights as well, so if someone can source them I am sure there will be a few takers.

wow, i must have looked at that ad several times and never noticed that! They look really different in black.
Not sure I can afford £10,000 just for a set of headlights though! lol

Those are RE Amemiya headlights. As a matter of fact, the whole bodykit is Amemiya. Some of the best looking sleek headlight kits IMO

I can see two different types of lights on there, one really deep eyebrowed one which looks quite mean but makes the car resemble a mitsi 3000gt or something, and a set with two even sized lights and a perspex cover.
Don\'t think I prefer either of those to be honest, I need those run racing lights!!!!!
