hey sal, I recommend doing the corner lights/side markers as well. I've noticed that not as many people try to merge into me after changing those out for LEDs, I think I'm much more visible on the road now
Hey bud! Definitely will have it done off camera The previous owner chopped the muffler off and it basically ended up melting one of the wires so we have to redo the harness Not looking forward to it 😂
Something else that adds a nice touch to the new halos would be switchback bulbs in the turn signals. They stay solid white when they are on, and flash orange when using the turn signal
Did all these on my car, the back up lights shine super bright through my clear housing taillights and it illuminates the whole area around me when reversing at night its amazing
You must have found out there is more to changing the turn signal lamps than that! Lower load from LEDs means the flasher unit flashes faster ("hyperflashing"). Either add an extra load resistor at each corner or change the 5.6kΩ resistor inside the flasher relay to a 1MΩ resistor. BTW, it's easy to wire the surround LED of the headlight to show white when lights are on, or flash orange for turn signal.
Just got the blue miata running so we can actually get those two jobs handled The purple miata will sit for a couple weeks while that all gets addressed 🤘🏼 And thanks for the support!
@@SpiritDriven Yea man sounds good and you're welcome. Im learning a lot here and its been nice to see someone doing practical upgrades to such an old car before they start modding it. Ive always wanted a stick and a Miata will be my first one after I purchase my daily driver. Hopefully prices will have leveled out by then lol.
Excellent video👍 I own a 1997 NA MIATA and Just the other day I was thinking about changing the headlights and your video popped up 👍. What brand of the steering wheel is that?
Sal so after a month of the new headlights do you still think it was a great upgrade. I'm going to upgrade my miata headlights. In your video it looks like a huge improvement.
@@SpiritDriven Nice. You know we want to see the whole process!! You won't regret money spent on it. Well at least I know I don't regret spending money on mine..lol
I installed mine at 1am. I was inpatient and had no days off. Installed them upside down and was able to see the top of houses 🤣
Lmao 😂 rip to oncoming traffic

I love this channel, you guys make my life so much easier when I work on my Miata..
Thanks Ivan 🥺🥺

The extra benefit of clear tails 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

waking up to a new video let’s gooo

Enjoying the series. Looking forward to seeing the new seats and seat belts!

I did this a few months ago..very glad I did.
Perfect way to modernize an old for sure
@@SpiritDriven true

Glad we could help!
It’s a Villante Wheel 🤙🏼
Hey Sal! Did you end up doing a video on how to wire the halos yet?
Yo brotha! We didn’t get a chance too because we sold the M project recently for a new build on the channel 😔
Sal so after a month of the new headlights do you still think it was a great upgrade. I'm going to upgrade my miata headlights. In your video it looks like a huge improvement.
I’ve had this exact set on the blue Miata for over a year as well as the purple Miata
Great visibility
which buld did you use for the front turn signals? I got the 1157, what is said on super bright, and they started flashing really fast. please help...
I never recorded that part but you have to have a resistor wired in
Hey man do you know where I can get some good quality ones like this that change color.
I’d really appreciate it
Yeah dude! Amazon it! I’m sure there’s a ton of options
You don’t need to spend over $100
@@SpiritDriven I bet man but there’s too many options lol. A lot of bad reviews too. Just wondering if u knew of a specific link?
@@SpiritDriven how are these holding up?
I got a 40 Euro pair off of eBay and theirs so good
Suuuuuuper bright nice 🤙🏼🤙🏼
But I got the ones with the half Ring :D
You should have more subs, good stuff.
Maybe one day haha
Thank you!!
Great video!
Thanks mark c:
What’s a similar style, better quality set of headlights? I love the design but I’m kinda worried about $60 headlights long term.
Understandable, but I’ve used this exact set on our blue miata as well, still no issues it’s been a little over 2 years
Great vid
Appreciate ya Ivan 🤘🏼
Have you tried rgb headlights?
I have not 😔
Wait out for your dream garage when you move to TX!!
That’s the plan!! So stoked on it
Already got an entire list of things to do 🤘🏼
@@SpiritDriven Nice. You know we want to see the whole process!! You won't regret money spent on it. Well at least I know I don't regret spending money on mine..lol
@@T12i99iN it will all be worth it lol 😂
Hey did u get those t10 from superbiright?
eBay if I remember correctly! Just search LED T10 Bulbs
@@SpiritDriven ok, I’m looking for the colored ones I guess I’ll go with some Amazon randos lol.
@@abstractaccuracy8570 they’ll be fine for a couple years 👍🏼
Yo where’d I get it turn signals from?
eBay!!
I got mine from Amazon and it’s rapid blinking 🤦🏾♂️😭
@@abstractaccuracy8570 does the bulb light up? And is it led?
@@SpiritDriven got a link?👀
@@SpiritDriven yeah they’re led and work normal except when being used as turn signals. They rapid blink
I miss the load speaker!! 😔 you should scream subscribe or something with the load speaker at the end of the video
Ahh dang it I gotta bring it back 😂😂 okay next one promise
@@SpiritDriven a promise is a promise haha. I also noticed the updated thumbnail, looks minty fresh!!
