Hello strangers!
I have an MX5 now (I have my reasons!), and I\'m after different headlamps. I remember seeing gen 2 Rex\'s with twin square headlamps mounted underneath clear acrylic/glass that follows the same lines as the original tin covers. Any ideas if they would/could be made to fit a 5, and where I could find some?

I think the ones you are after can be found on Taka kaira website, takes a bit of trawling through the bodykits section to find them though :yes
Hows things? Long time no see etc... :wave
hiya buddy - the 5\'s looking nice
how did the comp go ( last time we spoke you was heading off to it )
im not sure what kit its off to be honest - like brett said - check out taka kaira - but i cant see it coming cheap !
Cheers guy\'s
The comp went well ..... but not well enough! Missed out on getting through to the final round by half a point! But to be honest, it was a close thing, lots of us were just half a point away.
What I\'m after for the 5 is to be able to have my lights on without the airbrakes coming on!
makes sense i suppose
can you not make your own ???
I would if I can find some small square/rectangular units that are \'E\' marked for MOT times, I can make housings, fittings and covers no problem, it\'s just finding the actual lamps to begin with. I\'ve looked evrywhere and come up with nowt!
Look on the Hella website or something?

I\'m on the lookour for e marked hella projectors as we speak! If I ever get any luck, I\'ll post it on here.
With regards to the MOT problem, you just need a more understanding mechanic ;)
To be honest ...... screw the E mark, as long as they can produce a close enough pattern, I\'ll have \'em!!!!
Okay, I found this on hella USA, but not on the EU or UK sites:3Confused
Would that mean that they are no use to us?
I found a dealer in the US that can supply these (two dipped beam and two main beam units, making a pair of twins) for £170. It says they are SAE compliant, how close is that to our E mark?

Arn\'t you that guy who went to BOINGERS!!!!!:Nono!

Bit off your thread topic here, hope you dont mind. What is the best forum / owners club for MX5 owners? My girlfriend has one and I want to find a good resource for parts and technical help?
BTW - great little cars arent they?

Boingers? :3Confused
As for MX-5 forums, I tried MX-5 owners club, but when I asked them for advise on building a track car, they all stuck their noses up. So I found MX-5Nutz instead. They were much more helpful, and helped me get mine to how it is now ....... wrecked - haha!

Come say hi, I\'m on there as SeanH
I love MX5s mate, nice example there, although cage is a bit ott for the road.....but guessing you use it on the track lol
Will probably be getting one when I have to sell the Rex (house purchase this year possibly). My mum had one and it was great fun on summers days for a blast round country lanes.
The hardest part of owning one is dodging the \'hairdresser\' comments !!!

I don\'t get the hairdresser comments, cause it\'s a pretty quick one, but it is affecionatly known by my friends as the MX-5hite!:D
I thought it was a bit gutless, so I supercharged it, but they go well when turbo\'d too ;)
