After buying the car just under a month ago, I've fallen in love and apart from the usual wet boot lid and occasional dripping from the soft top seals it's been a dream. However, I've just got back home from another sketchy night ride where my main headlights and high beams just didn't want to...

Hi guys, Got a set of jeep LED headlights to fit to my 92 Mx5. New units use a H4 connector but with a switched positive rather than a switched earth. Does anybody know how much a pain this will be to get working? My understanding is i might need to do a bit of wiring from the headlight...

Looking for a headlight relay to see if that'll fix my problem of my lights going up but only going down If I manually wind them! Its a black relay under the dash with "Retract" written on it. Im also hoping that people on here are more understanding and don't price it at £20! the amount of...

Hi all, After trawling through old threads in this forum for weeks, as well as circuit diagrams from various different makes and models, I've just sussed out a way to wire up NB2 Headlights in to an NB1 and have the low beams stay on when the high beams are activated, AS WELL as retain a...

Hi folks, I bought a cheeky set of hb4 (9006) LED bulbs for my mk2.5 NBFL dipped beam the other day, and fit them just now. Thought i'd give you all a little info. I haven't driven with them yet to see whether i'm blinding people but the main focus/shape of them seems unchanged to hopefully...

Hi all, I'm probably going to ask the most infuriating and simplest question asked about a mk2.5 MX5, how do I replace the dipped headlight bulb? I've searched the forum, and others, but haven't found a consistent answer. From what I've gathered I need to: 1) Remove the connection 2) Unscrew...

Hi guys Sorry if this has been asked before, having a little trouble finding it. I have a 2001 mk2.5 sport. I want to change the headlights as they are rather weak. Can I just screw in xenon bulbs or is it a conversion kit? if so I haven't got time for that right now so what are the best...

Quick question to see if anyone else is/has experienced the same problem as me? Once I've turned on my headlights (if they both go up as far as they should) after a short time of driving my drivers side headlight drops back down, then if I turn them off to drop the left as well the right pings...

Hi All, I've recently fixed an issue with my headlights with some rather strange symptoms and thought I'd post the cause up here to help others in future. I'm not sure if this is the right section so mods please move if it isn't. The symptoms went as follows: I noticed driving one night that...

Hi guys, Just replaced the old sealed units with new Autopal 7" headlights, they come with a sidelight along side the H4.. How would I go about wiring in this separate side light? I'm sure there's a few threads or maybe even a guide about this, so even if someone could point me in the right...

Hi all, I've recently got a mk1 UK spec MX5 1.6. All has been well up until recently. The other day i noticed my left indicator was giving the 'hyper blink' which lead me to believe one of them must be out, and one was. (The rear). So I replaced the bulb and could see clearly the old bulb had...

I want to change my headlights in my mk1 1997 but i have electric adjusting headlights, the retaining rings i have don't fit. its like one of the holes should be on the other side for my lights... does anyone have a link to the ones i would need or can tell me where to get them? Thanks!

Urgently needed a headlight for my Eunos on the offside. Please can people let me know if they have one as I'm on a budget but need to drive around at night. Thanks

I'm carrying out a Mk2.5 front end conversion to my Mk2 shortly. Luckily I had a wiring loom from an 04 model in my garage from when I replaced the engine in mine with a VVT lump. So I've robbed the plugs off that. Is there a wiring diagram available for the mk2 and mk2.5 headlights so I can...

Hey everyone, My headlights in my MK1 are literally as useful as dangling a candle out of the window at night. They're correctly aligned and the lenses are clean, but they're just useless! Full beam is ok, but dipped beam is just terrible. Is this a common complaint? Are there any decent...

Hello everyone Yesterday I bossed the head light De-tango on my NB. I thought I would share with you all how to do it... I am aware of other how too's on this, but no one made any frikin' sense. Making comments like 'Just detach the bolt'. Slightly annoying when you have no clue what your...

How to: ''Flash to pass'' mod Please read this guide in its entirety before picking up any spanners. Skipping ahead or rushing could cause you problems further down the line. This car in this guide is a MK1 Eunos Roadster When does it need doing? Many early roadsters don't have the ability to...

Almost weekly a new topic springs up on the forum asking about, or how to fit, High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps to an MX-5. And every time the thread descends into a bunfight between those members that already know the information I'm about to present to you and those that couldn't give a...

Whilst reading votes for pop up headlights on the new (mk4) MX5 (watchnut and fenix) and votes against in the worst looking car ever thread Alan Clogwyn I simply can't agree, I thought I'd start a thread of pictures of the best pop up (and hidden) car headlights. The shape of the front bonnet...
