The stock Miata headlights leave a lot to be desired. They were probably fine for what was available in 1990, but by today's standards, they are really lacking. I can actually see just fine at night with no lights on, after all, South Florida has so much light pollution no one actually needs lights other than to be seen. However, there is something satisfying about a set of headlights with a solid output and a crisp cutoff line. I'm a fan and the Miata is the last of all my cars to rock old school halogen headlights.
I decided I wasn't going to spend a lot of money on this, specifically because I hardly drive the car. This means no going to the Retrofit Source for the good stuff, just a quick trip to Amazon for the cheapest set with next day delivery. I did exactly that and scored a set of LED headlights for $56. I noticed many sellers with the same exact units for sale for $60-90 and could not see why I would pay extra for the same thing. I got these and slapped them on the car.
The install is pretty straightforward. You remove the stock lights, plug the new ones in and the headlight part is done. Problem is, these have halo rings where the halo acts as a daytime running light and then flashes amber when you engage the turn signal. The easiest way to get these to work is to tap into the wiring harness for the bumper mounted lights on the Miata. For that, I made one pigtail that comes off each light and one that comes off each of the harnesses for the bumper lights. I finished these in a finger trap style loom and added waterproof connectors on the ends. This also makes the lights easy to remove as everything is now plug and play. Check out the video to see the process.
