cleared out the headlights..woohoo!!

Just cleared out the headlights taking that yellow reflector out and it was a f*ckin' b*itch!! most tedious thing in the world, but its pretty worth it. It looks so much sharper without the yellow. Anyone else that has cleared heads, what bulb do you recommend for the one behind the reflector compartment? I forgot to look at the size when i was putting them back and don't feel like looking behind the headlights for a LONG time. Anyone want to go ahead and try it for themselves, I'll give you some tips. If i can do it..anyone can..hehe

Man! That's what I need to do...that orange really looks nasty.

Has anyone changed the normal bulbs in the fog lights to the HID lights? I'm probably going to also.

You can find tire/speed conversion info at http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html ..
I'm looking at RH Evolution CP-10's 18X7.5 with P7000 225/40-18 (although 235/40-18 is
a better diameter/speedo match, I think the 225's will insure no chance of rubbing. Also, plan to do 1 1/2 drop with springs.
