Guide - How to fix your headlamp relay

Last post by Rob E « Mon Feb 27, 2017 9:13 pm

Hi All,

The headlamps on my 1994 1.8 Eunos recently stopped popping up when I switched on the headlamps or flashed the lights. The button on the dashboard would raise the lamps but they would not raise or lower automatically when using the stalk. I briefly got them functioning again by tapping the...

This is a basic guide for adding a rear fog light to your Mx/Roadster be it any model or version MK 1 to MK 4...this can also be used for any other car...

The car we are using is a MK 1 1996 Eunos import, as the imports from Japan do not need a factory rear fog light fitted, but we need it here...

De-tango front lights

Last post by landwomble « Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:53 pm

by landwomble » Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:53 pm

Been meaning to do this for a while - so thought I'd post a guide with pics.

Basic idea is to

1) Make the front lights look clear

2) Swap the indicator and sidelights so that the larger 21W bulb is the sidelight where the indicator used to be, and the old sidelight becomes the 5W indicator....

Horn upgrade guide

Last post by landwomble « Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:51 pm

by landwomble » Mon Jul 08, 2013 3:51 pm

The factory Eunos / MX-5 horns are a little anaemic. So I had a look for something a little, well, sportier, and came across the Sebel Nautilus Compact air horn. It's a twin tone one, and it's of similar size to the Mazda horn, so I thought it worth a go. Cost me about 20 quid delivered - same as...

Following a quick look over of my car by Mazdamender, it was pointed out that my car had lost the headlamp wiper rubber flap.
I have put together what I thought was a quick 5 minute job to replace them.
No tools are required.

First job - pop up the headlamps
Here you can see that there are three...

How to jump start a Mx/Roadster

Last post by Mazda Mender « Tue Mar 22, 2016 11:45 pm

Attachment(s) by Mazda Mender » Tue Mar 22, 2016 11:45 pm

We are finding more and more owners jump starting MX/Roadsters wrongly.
Resulting in a surge of power and blowing slow blow fuses, standard fuses, relays, and ECU's, this guide is for any car unless it as a positive earth( I know I am going back a bit).

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES must you attach the...

Replacing Sealed Beam Headlights

Last post by binarypunk « Wed Feb 12, 2014 3:37 pm

by binarypunk » Wed Feb 12, 2014 3:37 pm

If you're driving a Mk2/2.5 NB, Mk3 NC or a Mk 4 ND, this guide probably won't apply to you because your car either came with headlamp units that are quite effective, or have since been replaced with a decent set. Likewise, if you're a pre loved Mk1 NA owner whose car hasn't already had its sealed...
