somebody did it, and i think they had to either cut the hood or mold the hood down to fit the headlights. not sure.. was it Aiden? anywayz it isnt really an easy job i bet

I think it would be easier to cut the back of the housing off the miats lights, then mold that onto the mx-3 headlight housing. All you have to do then is make the front lense clear.... a few options there.

Wow DA3, a very clean mx. I love the color and front bumper. Of course, those miata headlights compliment the whole car... :2thumbsup:

so you took the entire miata housings and made them fit? and you didn't have to modify the hood? looks very nice by the way

the light was from a 2000 miata. the whole housing was use. the hood and the fenders had to be cut to fit the headlights.
