MR2 Projectors

Today, after selling some old GS parts I had laying around, I decided it was time to dump more money into my MR2. The SW body style is over 18 years old now, and even typing it makes me freak out on how old it is. I always thought the MR2 body style was ahead of its time, and aged very well, I mean, its no fucking fountain of youth like the FD, but the shit still looks damn good (well to me at least...). Anyhow, one thing that really shows the Age of the MR2, is its flip up style headlights. Bulb and housing in one nifty package for $4.99!

Well, times they are a changing. Today I finally ordered a head light conversion from an MR2 tuner in the UK, Rogue Systems. I figured it'd be a good idea before our US dollar plummets any further. The kits include everything you need to update your SW's lights. Lowrise mechanical parts, 4 Hella free form projectors, and Hella HID ballasts and bulbs. I've seen the kit in person once before, and by far is faded up all other MR2 headlight conversions I've seen, from PJ's piaa setup in 95, to show feezys and their FTO swaps.

Its gonna look much better with the Projector headlights in my opinion...and i agree with you regarding the aging of the MR2 body style...it was a machine that was built ahead of its time as well...mastery of the vehicle is still elusive to some and that can be seen in the amount of people that own them...maintenance them and race them...but you gotta luv the ability of the car...anyway, i can't wait until the vehicle is complete and going strong..anyway, thats just my 2 cents.
