Thought i\'d take a pic so you can all see my new lights.
RE-Amemiya New H11 sleek light kit......with KAixen HID:mmmm
opinions please.
That look tasty !! i wish my old Re-A sleeks looked as mint as that!
Would be keen to see how much light they produce, if you get a chance to take a pic bud.
Does your intercooler say \'Treadstone\' ?!!!? Very Bourne if so lol.
Loving the lights, looks superb.
Looking good Ed, not normally a fan of aftermarket headlights but those are nice and sleek :)
Very sweet fella.... going to be cracking on with my conversion soon, geting her ready for the night driving of winter!!

Are the plates on the way geezer?
I\'ll try and take some night shots tonight.
Very nice but where did you get them from and how much ???
Quote from: BazzaVery nice but where did you get them from and how much ???
A friend sourced them from Japan.....but JM garage is doing them for £900.......non HID
Got mine for a great deal less, for myself and Master
YODA...(aka JAYDEE)
but JM garage is doing them for £900.......non HID
Thanks for the comments....i just keep looking at them and smiling.
These lights are miles better than the old RE kit the bulbs are brighter and lenses are clear.......and with the HID\'s the output is excellent:2eek

These are my 3rd set of sleek lights......and my last!!!!
nice one bro...looking stunning :Party
will be getting mine this week...you know what ones:wiggle
Can i ask what glue/silicone did you use for the covers?
for the ones your getting...he may send you some silicone...otherwise just get some clear/translcent silicone from B and Q....i wouldnt go for black as you\'ll paint your bases yellow....and the silicone tends to get everywhere.
Plates are all done fella, they\'ll be in the post tomorow lunch time for ya!!
Jono
They look really nice, I am tempted to go for some sleeks again now lol!
cheers geezer.

Ed... I have an old set of RE-A flush lights sat in the garage. What size are the lights in your kit and how much/where did you get the HID Kit from.
Thanks mate.:Thumbs-up
SNAP!

Very nice Ed,
Suit the whole design of your RX nicely mate :cheers
Am thinking about spraying some sort of logo on the front intercooler too, and particular kind of paint you have to apply as to not restrict the air flow ???
Ed how did you find fitting them?
not sure geezer...came like that.
ask the guys at forge motorsport...they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Quote from: RixioEd how did you find fitting them?
well i didn\'t exactly fit them....got my bodyshop to do that....cost me £40...that included fitting the HID\'s also
but i did put the lenses on............flipping hell what a nightmare...getting them lined up and sealing them was a right pain...had to redo them twice:rolleyes:
how do you find yhe older lights on yours...you gonna go HID?
sold your yellow one cheap didn\'t you
?????????:Nono! :Hammer

You have to butcher the stock headlight surround to make them fit. I had to buy a dremel to do it propperly...took me about 14 hours in total, from C-West, Cutting, Re-wiring, Fitting RE-A & then aligning the beams...if you get your lights off take a couple of pics and show us how they did it fella...
they seemed pretty simple to fit and the cutting doesn\'t seem that bad........when it comes to the wiring that was a doddle...it was just plug and play....all that was needed was a positive feed and an earth...thats it.....all the wiring and relays come in the new kit you just put male to female....if you know what i mean:D
Yeh wiring wasnt the problem just that i swapped the C-west over from the other car and it had totally different wiring. All it needed was a little longer wire...:)
The cutting and positioning was the major issue that was time consuming :p
Good like with the MOT , i have a similar set and they will not pass i\'m now taking them out and installing some 60mm dia hellar diiped and main beams units.

what make are your lights mate?
ed the problem you wiill have with the lights is there is no cut off or beam pattern
the hid capsule has no diffuser/shield so u will be blinding the driver in front and oncoming traffic and will poss get a pull from the old bill
its a shame because the re kit is a lovely one but as with most rx7 things there is a setback
the hella 90mm units are best but hard to get beam pattern onto the road
hella do a 50mm hid unit which wld prob be better
the trick is to get the unit as far forward as poss but still clear the lexan cover
they need to be as high as poss to clear the bumper which cuts out a large portion of the beam
lee wld like to discuss how u are getting on are u using the hella 50mm hid units and the 50mm halogen for high beam
sneak preview of mine...:Tongue1 more once i\'ve finished installing them...:Party
never said i had a problem with the lights at all....MOT guy checked them and lined them up for me and said they were spot on. .....I get extra beam on the nearside of the car ...as i should...and no blinded drivers.:xconfused
remember i have the new kit not the old design. Also..I have a decent HID set up...not a sub standard chinese.cheap set.
maybe thats made the difference.

Looks good KID....did the big ones arrive today...?
yep the ones in the pics are 100mm...came in this afternoon.
Your lights look the business too bro with the HID\'s...make the car looks like 2008 model. These are must have for all rex\'s..:yes :Party
prob wrong choice of words by me
what i mean is the lights have no beam pattern and the hid capsule will just flood the light out as there is no shroud to direct it like on a projector
can u give a close up pic of ur dipped beam..wld like to get a good look at sometime as i stated mine are not perfect and if i can improve on things woth mine i will
