Hi, I require a N/S Headlight for a 30th Anniversary RF and require the correct specification.
I currently believe this pictured O/S version to be a AFS version and not a ALH version.
Also, is the 30th Anv. a ND1 or ND2?
Any assistance would appreciated.
You are ND2.
It’s an ND2: black bezel around the main screen and you have a colour display in the instrument cluster.
Some info on headlights here HEAD LAMPS [01/02] | Mazda MX-5 Europe 11.2017 | Parts Catalogs | PartSouq but I can not see that number.
On our cars the self levelling is not done by the mechanical actuator on the rear suspension as it was in earlier cars so this is something to think about when ordering.
Good fortune with your search,
The O/S part number NA1K-51030 / N315-5-1030 comes up on eBay where the seller says it’s AFS (steerable) rather than ALH (adaptive)
Thanks all for the quick responses.
The PartsSouq is a useful site and I have ordered some parts from them. The site does show a number of headlamp options, but it’s difficult to link them to my part number / QR code.
The Ebay search is also useful, but the word “Adaptive” which appears on a number of parts, is a bit vague (AFS or ALH ?). I was looking at this one which also states “Adaptive” :
And there is my dilemma.
Thanks again 
AFS (Adaptive Front Lighting System) is what was standard on Sport Nav+ (and therefore I expect the 30AE), this provides corning illumination based on steering input. You may get HBC (High Beam Control) too which dips the full beam in reaction to oncoming vehicles.
ALH (Adaptive LED Headlamps) was only on MX-5s that had the optional Safety Pack specified until 2020 when the new Sport Tech and later Homura trims got it included. This system automatically adjusts the range, area and brightness of illumination based on speed and what the FSC sees. With ALH you get green A headlamp symbol in the instrument cluster when headlamps are auto and full beam is selected (not sure this is the case with lesser AFS & HBC). If you’ve driven with ALH active at night you’ll know, it’s pretty magic watching it place oncoming traffic in a moving shadow!
TLDR: Odds are you’ve got an AFS car, ALH is rare until 2020 onwards.
Hi C,
There is no HBC on our 30AE.
When you turn the car on, if MX-5 is the same as earlier systems, ALH lights move up and down as a self test, AFS move left and right.
Thanks, I haven’t had chance to notice that self test yet, but will look-out next time I start it.
30AE has AFS units.
Thanks again. AFS it is.
And if anyone knows of a Left Hand one in good condition, please feel free to give me a nudge.
Cheers
