I think I just found the driving lights that brainstorm uses in their miata low pro headlight kits. http://www.bestdarnparts.com/hella1300.html
I also found that brainstorm sells a replacement relay for the low pro kit. Do you think that I could use this relay and just change the hookups to whatever I need ot fit the capri? Or would the relay be totally useless to me?

good question. you would need to go to techcapri.com and see i our wiring matches that of the miata. I would think due to the lack of technical advances in lighting at that time that the miata would have the same wiring as the capri as the probe had, but that is where the trial and error comes in.

I found an easier way to make a headlight kit by using PIAA 980 Series Super White Driving/Ion Crystal Fog Light Kit. They're kind of expensive and now discontinued... figures. They have a driving light and fog light connected together. Then you'd just have to worry about wiring.

hella makes a nice 90mm headlamp projection unit that has a hi/low option using a H9 bulb, nice and small only being less then 4" tall and 5" wide and the bulb it self is smaller and the rest could be hidden behind the body.

Do you know the part number for those or where I could find them? I went out looking at fog/driving lights today to get an idea of what was out there. I might actually get some of the angel eyes driving lights and wire the outer halo to my parking lights.

[STE_6000]

I take halo if the lights are good. like i mentioned im not gonna loose lighting for the look, sealed beams alone are terrible for the car.

The light model is 90mm headlamp module. thats the name, used for custom headlamp installs. The high beam unit is 68136 and the low beam version is 68137 and the fog lamp version is 68142 all using a h9 bulb.

[capri303]

Wow, I never knew anything like that existed. It looks like you can buy everything for a headlight coversion except the housing. I just need to decide whether I want to make my own wiring to use the angel eyes or if I just want to use the 90mm...

[STE_6000]

i really like and would want to use the 90mm, but the h9 bulb is a odd bulb and would restrict any high wattage upgrades.

[capri303]

The H9 really is a weird bulb. It looks like you can upgrade the 90mm lights to HID or Xenon, so you could get better bulbs for them. I just don't have the money for that.

[STE_6000]

correct, reason i didnt bother to list it, to much almost 3-4x more. h9 is a odd bulb just like the xr2 fog lamp using the h2.

The prices on those kits is outrageous. You can buy most of those driving lights they use for $60 a pair. Then you'd probably have to rewire them to work on the capri's wire harness.
