Haven't any pictures of the headlight mod my little brother did, but those at the Coventry meet have seen a partial demo and it should all be fully working by the next meet. If anyone else fancies winky headlights (yes, you know you do :roll: )

I tried to take lots of pictures of what was done, am in the process of writing up an illustrated story of what we did. I still haven't a picture of the finished job, the paint was hardly dry before she were back on the road :shock: :oops:

I'll be including lots of links to miata.net as that's where I stole lots of ideas from. 8)
