Looking for options on headlights since one of mine is busted, still working though. Ian, before you respond, I've looked at those, looking for other options. So, I just need for 7" buckets....right?
LED/HID Headlight options

.???....don't know much about them (LED) saw them in San Marcos thought looked cool...Backdraft (James Yale) put them in for me - took 20 minutes...forget what I paid...$200 installed? I like them...
Assuming you saw this post on FFCars(?) http://www.ffcars.com/forums/17-factory-five-roadsters/573889-led-headlights-who-has-installed.html
I'm thinking about upgrading mine over the winter. They work, but barely and kinda yellowish.
Looks like there are semi-original looking complete units from Watson's Streetworks or some other options.

Hmmm, wonder if I should go Black or Chrome?
Oh, and what's the story behind the name for your car Rick? I forgot.

Where do you get the rock guards?
Orange halo /looks killer...LED...STEP UP AND OUT dad!
My rock guards came from Finish Line, and Keith you are correct. She came from Tyler Texas. Orange halos sounds good.
I bought mine from Finish Line also. Kent
Tim, after you drove with them last night, what do you think?
Did you have to cut the alignment tabs off of them? (I rea some posts on the Jeep & Miata forums that they had to be modified)
Also, I'm assuming you didn't have the flicker problem the Jeep guys are experiencing (?)

Other than needing some adjustment, I like them. I drove a back way home by Creve Coeur Water plant in the corn fields, and it lit the road very well. Didn't get flashed as if they were too bright. No flicker either. Alignment tabs....since I don't know what they are...no, didn't cut any of those off. Rich seems to think the retainer clips may need to be modified or re-made. However, Rick and I didn't. So far, so good!
I ordered a set today for my car. They only had black left so I'll see how they look. That wasn't my first choice but I really like the way these headlights look on Tim, Rick, Rich, and Marks cars. Kent
