Allready got an NB. Its cheaper to buy an NA & more fun to customise,poses a greater challenge
Need lights like yours Spsta but sunken like the photo to follow as soon as the scanner gets its 'A' into 'G'

Google AAC Autolights or Go Miata (both in the USA) - both sell the same recessed flush kit - pricy though. Not sure if the light beam from the Hella projector lamps suit RHD installation. Go Miata quoted me US$55 for freight.

the hella projector units can be used both right and left hand drive i think there is a switch behind the unit to swap sides i read somewhere in the catalogue

What is it? A Lada roadster?

Niet! This actually a Fiat Coupe. When one of these cars came into workshop with engine trouble, it was very bad day!

When they are going, the turbo variety is not too bad, of course when it swings on boost ( laaaaaaaaaaaag).

They Used to block up the Map sensor signal pipe and back fire like a sicilian Mafioso gun fight, as well kill ignition coils and O2 sensors!

Now you know why I drive a Japanese car!

yeah had another look through them the switch behind the projector is in a golf headlight sorry.
i am unsure about the universal as one catalogue has only one part number listed for both left and right hand drive and another has two different numbers for the same light with no numbers being the same in either cat only specs diags and pics

The set that I've got (for sale, BTW) doesn't have any switch. There is a fitting for city lights tho?

They're especially popular with some because the projector housings can accept those HID retrofit lights. mmm... rice
