| Chris Sharek | ccnz@earthlink.net | Thanks so much for sharing all this great info. Absolutely awesome. I really like the lights, but I've got to go with the white ones! Thanks again! |
| Rodger | Rodger123@home.com | Gary..HELP This looked so simple that even I could do it. However,Damned if I can get the "passenger" side light in without ruining the bulb ie. solder won't join to the bulb wire and when putting mount in place tape comes off and I'm blowing fuses. So far I've gone through four bulbs and three fuses in an eight hour stretch.The drivers side looks very cool. Please enlighten me..(pun intended) |
| Gary | hakuna@pacific.net | Hi Rodger, You need a HOT soldering iron. Your's sounds like it might be a bit on the lightweight size for the job. Try cleaning the wire on the bulb (fine sandpaper) and then "tinning" it with solder before trying to attach the wire. You can tin the wire too. That way when you touch the two together with the iron you aren't trying to stick solder to either one. You just melt the solder that you ALREADY have on both of the connections. I also had a problem on some cars where the plugs fit fairly tightly. The wires chafe through and blow. If you have tight fitting plugs then use a dremel or small round file to make a channel for the wire to fit in. Sand the edge of the channel if you can and put a piece of tape over it to stop chafing. One other suggestion. Don't do it the way I did with the join in the middle of each wire. Run a single wire from the stripped section to the passenger bulb....like a "T" from the wire to the bulb...does that make sense? Run one bulb wire on one side of the fitting and the other on the other side. That way the wire leads can't touch if the tape comes off.

Gary,
Your site is one of the best I have visited. It
is awesome. I purchased my Miata about two weeks
before memorial day, and it was hit by a stolen car in
that ran a red light. It has been in the shop for a
while and I have to occupy myself by looking at other
peoples Miatas. When it comes back I want to do some
work on it. The first thing I want to do is work on
getting subs installed.
I was hoping you might be able to describe how
you made the MP3 player and got it setup. I have been
very interested in doing this and the MP3 decks
available for purchase run into the thousands. I need
an affordable way to set it up.
Thank you very much
Josh

| Kevan Riley | egotalon@yahoo.com | I couldn't selesct a particular album, that are all so good. Great work. quite a contribution to the Miata comunity. I have even read some of them several times! Thanks for you time and effort! Kevan Riley '94 Brilliant Black |
| Don Bizzaro | djb103@aol.com | You look like you have great fun doing these mods. Very explicit info. and good photos. Im going to try that map light job, it seems simple enough although you said something about a "pax" in one of the wiring steps? Don, N.Y. |
| Snake Oil | sigond@juno.com | Nice job! It's folks like you that make Miata.net such a great site. If only you could figure out how to mount the airbag in those visor holes so Mazda could put a real steering wheel in the car. Oh, well. |
| berlin heck | bucky@pine-net.com | these are some of the best photos of a project I've seen on the web. I hope some of the electronics tips will carry over to my '99. |
| Rick | rdurkee@ix.netcom.com | I enjoyed reading your detailed instruction on the light setup. I was at first extatic just to know that other people want to dispose of the pesky visors. Next I thought I'd make the modification which you made. HAve you got any second thoughts about the installation or bulb choice now? Thanks Rick inn Savannah |
| cc corlew | cccorlew@losmedanos.net | Love it all. I saw you on Miata Net, and clicked your link. Car is great. Very creative and with taste. You've done very nic ethings that I wish I had the skill to do. Love the visor lights and door ioopener. Well, really, love it all. |
