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

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

[Rixio]

Ed how did you find fitting them?

[Ed_RX7]

not sure geezer...came like that.
 
ask the guys at forge motorsport...they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Ed 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:

Didnt actually sell :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...

[Ed_RX7]

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

[Rixio]

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

what make are your lights mate?

[rx7veilside]

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
