Headlights Hella or OEM Mazda
Might be an unpopular opinion but get a pair of Hella Vision Plus (1A6002395) H4 headlights, ceramic H4 connectors and 100/90w H4 bulbs. Night and day difference without messing with the beautiful classic look.
I have bought two used headlights from ebay before and had no issues. Just make sure the part number is the same as what your car has and that the label has "hella" specified.
hella 7” lamps that take a modern LED bulb for this exact reason, looks oem but headlights actually work
Hella H4 e-code conversion beam, full stop. Can run whatever H4 bulb you want, including LED retrofits if you want (don’t cheap out, I recommend Morimoto) but I find a good quality halogen bulb like Osram Nightbreaker Lasers are as good as if not better than most LED retrofits without requiring a harness upgrade.
I put a set of euro Hellas on my golf years ago. The US light performance was very good for the time but the euro lights were so much better.
Doesn't have to be OEM, Hella is most likely the manufacturer
Upgrade those headlights to e-codes. Keeps the OEM look and the beam pattern is way nicer and you can see way more on the road. I have hella brand ones and it is quite literally night and day.
I just fixed my 2016 Mazda6 for the second time through insurance. First time was a few years ago where the other was at fault and it was about $2500 for front bumper and grill OEM. This time they claimed it was my fault and repaired fender, bumper, headlight for also about $2500 after market parts. The next month my insurance went up from $700/6 mo to $1000/6 mo.
I had to lower the angle of my mazda's headlights. Out of the factory, they were way too high and directly shining into other car's cabins
I can tell you that the old school headlights in the Miata suck.
