Hi guys, first post so go easy. I’m to be the proud new owner of a red Eunos MX5 Mk1 and one of the first things I wanted to do was to purchase those Jeep halo headlamps but after reading the MOT guidance it looks it’s not legal to convert the standard halogen lights to the LED halo’s?
Yet I still see a lot of MX5’s with them, are people just leaving them on until the MOT is due then replacing with the old ones for the MOT then swapping back again?
Cheers
This has been discussed in another thread somewhere…
But I think the summary was they are fine as the whole unit is replaced.
The issue arises when you put LED bulbs in a housing designed for other bulbs.
This results in huge amounts of reflection etc.
Edit, see this thread:
That’s great, thank you for that! I guess I can always just keep the originals just in case they’re needed again
I have them fitted to my Eunos and a friends Mk1 - both sail thru the MOT (on lights at least!).
Driving at night is so much better - the beam pattern is “flat” but bright. No need for beam converters if driving abroad.
These are side-lights / indicator
They look great! Do you have any links for the ones that you use? I think I’ve found the ones on eBay but I’m not 100%
These are the ones I bought last time.
E-Mark Pair 7’’ Inch Led Headlights Halo DRL For Land Rover Defender TD4 TD5
Soak all the screws on your existing headlight the day before - retaining ring and levelling screws. The retaining ring screws were M4 but stripped so I replaced with M5 stainless.
Hi @Jeff_jthspace - I just bought the same ones and have a couple of questions - first how did you get them to fit, and second how did you get the halo to light up? Thanks in advance! 
If you buy the aftermarket/eBay ones they usually come with a connector that works with the standard side-marker & indicator.
I took it a step further and changed the original side-marker to a DRL (connecting into the blue plug under the bonnet).
I have since gone a step further and fitted TSI’s with dual use bulbs in the side-marker position.
I do have a couple of leads that may work for you, but they are only three pin and to get the indicator/sidelight function another pair of input cables would be required.
Sorry away out of the country with little free WiFi. Will respond ASAP later this month!
Hi all. Considering the halo change for our ‘93 Eunos. The interweb seems awash with many 7” halos and I can’t tell much difference between them, other than the price! I don’t mind spending the extra to get quality units (it’s the time fitting them that is the real cost to me) but not so keen to pay £120 for something that is basically identical to the £40 units on eBay.
Any advice from anyone about this?
Thanks
Pic (of our Eunos) for attention 
These are the ones I bought, no issues with them at all.
I disconnected the ring to be side and indicator, changed to side light only. I found the indicator ring did not “flash” at the same speed / sequence as the cars indicators and looked odd.
