Hey oppo i need help looking for new headlights for my 1st gen miata. The stock headlights suck so much ass is unbelievable. I can not see a thing at night, especially deer. I know no one wants to hit a deer in a car the size of a shoe.

Please and Thank you for anyone commenting.

The NA Miata uses standard 6 inch sealed beams am I right?

If so, you're gonna want to look at the some Hella H4 headlight upgrades which will allow you to run a replaceable bulb inside of the standard housing. I have a 944 with sealed beams and I know your pain.

No, but look up online Hella H4 headlight mod Miata and I am sure you'll find tons of results.

Also, pop up headlights rule

The Cibies have a bit better optics than the more common Hellas, especially when it comes to the high beam hotspot placement, versus the low beam. The Hellas tend to light up the trees on high, when the lows are aimed properly, while the Cibies are dead-on.

For more on upgrading your lights, since you use the same 7" rounds my Fiat does:

On my Fiat, I paired the Cibies with these bulbs:

and Susquehanna Motorsports' H4 relay harness. If I were doing it again, instead of ordering a pre-made harness, I'd order the parts from Dan Stern and build it myself. I recommend that you talk to Dan Stern, too. Trust me, he is a lighting genius.

The top link in my first comment is as good as you can get on the Cibies. Dan Stern also sells them, but for $79 each, as opposed to $48 each.
