    Lighting mods- questions.

    Hi everyone,

    I would like to make some changes to my Mirage, mostly lighting related.

    -retrofit projectors to main headlights.
    -get some of the headlight bezels I've seen a few members have.
    -replace orange signal lights with 'switchbacks' or some other non-orange bulb that still lights orange.
    (Perhaps like the blue-tinted signal lights on some Eclipse tail lights. Blue when off, orange when on)
    -LED reverse lights (because my tai lights are now tinted dark)

    If anyone has some info on ANY of these, that would be super handy.

    Thanks everyone!

    I think MPH forum has a lot of those answers. Just will be spoken in Tagalog. But if you ask, they will glady translate

    There is, in fact, someone back in the Philippines who has/does projector retrofits. We have a few MPH members on here - including the president of the club. Hopefully, someone can chime in.

    Thanks for the replies, got some good info already.

    Found a pair of projectors cheap on fleabay, we'll see if I win the bid.

    M4v3r1ck showed me where to find bezels for $50, vs dealers $100

    Found some LED backup lamps for crazy cheap

    I'm about to change the stock front and rear signal lamps with 7.5W LED bulbs. Does anyone know the location of the flasher relay to replace it with a LED specific flasher relay? I've already looked into the interior junction box and could not seem to isolate where the relay clicks are coming from.

    Already got the bulbs. Trying to look for that flasher/signal light relay so I could replace it.
