I haven got any of the bottom lights any more so the quads will be the only one running. If i can work this out i will attach a photo. Any help or feedback would be very very much appreciated.
All the best

Here's a quick Diagram I just drew up. It's the simplest and least troublsome way to wire them up. It will wire up your Qaud Flushmount Lights the same way Rev 6 Low Rise headlights wire up when you buy them and install them. It basically keeps all the wiring as it would be OEM. It's clean and simple, and not complex.

You'll use a Male H4 plug for the lower plug that plugs into the OEM female headlight plug. You can also use male spade connectors if you don't mind it looking crude (I'd source the light plug). Again, remember the diagram view I drew up is looking AT the front of male H4 headlight plug (looking at the prongs), so if you use spade connectors, you'll need to take that into consideration when wiring it up.

You'll use whatever female plug came with the headlight housing for the low and high beam plugs.

You'll do this diagram twice, one for each side. It will be the simplest way to wire up the lights, and shouldn't present any issues, as the lights still function as they would OEM. It keeps the function and lighting of the headlights the same as they are from the factory, so it will not overload any circuits and eliminates the need for extra wiring, fuses, and independent relays. It's also the most cost effective way to wire them up. It's how the Rev 6 lights come wired from Rogue.

Where can I find these head lights or at least, what are they called? I've seen a few posts saying JDM ASPO or soemthing from Ebay or asksports website. Are these correct? I'm hoping to model my MR2 after this one. That and I really like these lights.

Those do not fit well at all on the MR2. They look "okay" from 20 feet away, but up close they dont line up, they dont follow the curve of the car, and don't fit flush. On top of that they don't light up the road at all either because the light itself is in a spot where the bumper and the housing of the headlight completely blocks the light from getting to the road. Only thing you'll do by putting those on your car is de-value your vehicle.

It's a great looking two.

How about these headlights? Do they pose the same problems as the ones I posted earlier or do these headlights project and look better?

[baktasht]

yup, same problems, just good photography.

[BrandoMKII]

Bummer would the Lazy Eye config cause any problems, or devalue the vehicle any?
and is that something the requires a lot of work, or simply adjustments and changing out the lamp housing? like these?

[baktasht]

Those are definitely an upgrade for any MR2 and don't only look good, but they also light up the road really well. If you're interested in those talk to user "Kurdian" on these forums. He is the North American dealer for those headlights.

[BrandoMKII]

Thanks Baktasht you've been really helpful.

Thanks,
I replied to your PM.

To answer your other question about legality in Canada that I forgot to include in the PM is that as far as I know the lights are legal in Canada. You would need to confirm with local laws but I have not heard anyone having any issues.
The lights I sell are H9 Halogen style lights, not HID because of 3 reasons (reading the HID sticky is a good idea too):

1. Many E-bay and cheap HID's are, IMHO, too unreliable for me to warranty and include with these kits.

2. Hella HID and other high end HID solutions can be very expensive.

3. Liability and Legality, it is illegal to put HID bulbs/capsules into non-HID housings due to the fact that many times the lighting doesn't line up and focus correctly after changing the bulbs/capsules and people usually go with high 'K' (color - blue/purple) colored lights that bleed really bad. Usually a combination of both, thus causing bad glare for oncoming traffic and thus the laws. Last I heard was $6000 per offense and you COULD be ticketed for EACH headlight; also the seller could be fined as well. This was 4 years ago and the link I had saved no longer works and I haven't researched it further. For my personal REV 6 system I just purchased a complete HID package from Hella and avoided the whole mess.

All that being said, some people have had good luck with the Hella lights and then swapping in an HID H9 conversion system. Quite a few also felt going HID was unnecessary due to the fact the REV 6 and Hella system light up the road better than OEM anyways and saved money leaving the 'regular' REV 6 and Hella system alone.

I hope that helps.

Seems you do not allow private message to be sent to you.
I e-mailed you a copy of the PM I tried to send to you.

Thanks,

[BrandoMKII]

It seems the other day PM on my profile didn't work period. I couldn't PM canadam for anything either. I also didn't get an email... which is odd. Perhaps for the same reason.
sorry about that.
Any way, I would just like to know what the price would be. Shipped to Saskatoon?

[Kurdain]

With the current exchange rate the the rate trend you are looking at a base price of $695 plus around $25 Canadian shipping.
You will be responsible for border fee's, I do put a low price to help out on that.
I could tell you better if you PM me an exact address and e-mail to get into contact with you.

I don't sell them, but factoring in the price from Rogue in pounds sterling, the current exchange rate, fees, duties, shipping, etc, I'm guessing around $650, give or take $25-30.

[hotsv1]

i got mine from rogue systems and they cost around 400 pound shipped, they take quite a bit of time to fit but its all worth it if u love ur mr2 enough. very good quality.

[traintech86]

no love for us fans of the older days raptor >>

actualy after looking closely at my 2 i am not sure how easily that would work haha
