Driving Lights for front Bar

Dazz · 08-06-2003, 06:48 PM

i was seeing if anyone had a pair of genuine drving lights for a 94-98 model astina hatch for sale??

Toyboy · 08-06-2003, 06:59 PM

Have you got a quote from mazda for the genuine 1's?i rang up about 1&half years ago and they told me $2500 :shock: yes that is correct $2500,how rediculous is that :evil:

SehnKhan · 08-06-2003, 09:03 PM

Theo, that's a bit rich. Adam rang up a while back and was quoted $1000 - still way too much. try OzeParts.com for some though, maybe they are cheaper.

Dazz · 08-06-2003, 09:36 PM

$2500 **** thats heeps just for driving lights there joking, i got a qoute from a wrecker in melbourne they said $500 for the pair which aint to bad but i dunno what condition they are in

Toyboy · 08-06-2003, 09:40 PM

Yeah that was the price to have them fit them aswell,the recon that id need all the wiring aswell,but little did they know all of the plugs were there and ready just to hook them up :roll:

KittyKatSmack · 08-06-2003, 10:15 PM

I bought a set of 55W lights to go on the front bar of my hatch, cost me $15 from Super Cheap!

When I get around to putting them on the car, will take a pic and show ya.

Cheers and good luck Dazz.

Dazz · 09-06-2003, 10:27 AM

yeah i ve got a set of cheap ones on there at the moment that i got from k-mart but there square, for $40 but i still wanted the genuine ones cause they look better.

Also i was wondering how you can get a pic of your car on the home page of this website like a few of u guys do already?

mrpayner · 09-06-2003, 01:26 PM

Why don't you just mesh it and have no driving lights!! Looks good!! :roll: :wink: :lol:

:shock:

Cosmo Dude · 09-06-2003, 01:55 PM

The genuine kit is a little rich, the switch alone cost me $112 (It looks richt and fits the hole exactly

)
You need the switch, plugs into existing wiring located behind the inner right-hand blank under the instument cluster.
A relay, plug is located behind kick-panel in passengers footwell.
Lights, see Canberra CAI day photos for location of plugs neer headlights.
And last but not least patience, you will find it easier to remove the front bar and fabricate brackets for your new lights (with these prices I'm guessing you'll be going aftermarket.

er.... if they are charging that much for just the lights, how much is a front bar replacement for a V6? My BG bar only cost about $600 painted.... no foggies, but add that price to the fogs and thats one ridiculously expensive bar? If the bar and lights is cheaper, couldn't u just stick that on a 1.8 car and sell your current bar?

Cosmo Dude · 09-06-2003, 02:26 PM

The lights would be more expensive as they are a low turn-over item (only used on the V6). The front bar would be a higher turn-over item due to the quantity damaged in accedents etc... they don't sit around collecting dust.
Some items are very cheep, the rubber pads for the brake and clutch pedals are about $5 each.

i already have mesh in the front bar behind my immitation driving lights

BigMal · 10-06-2003, 09:19 AM

Hella do a set of rectangle fog/driving lights which are very
close to the originals except dont have the curved corners.
A set costs between $100 to $150 depending on where you
shop. From a distance hard to tell the difference has fooled
me a couple of times thinking I have seen a six and then notice
the single pea-shooter exhaust.

Trav · 10-06-2003, 12:18 PM

yep - thaty's what is on the front of mine (but mine are the fog lights, not driving lights)

Had to make up some brackets for them to stop the wobble of the front bar though...apart from that, real weet, and they just fit...

Dazz · 11-06-2003, 11:09 AM

cool i might give the hella ones a look at, the ones i have on there at the moment are pretty close to the hella ones but i think the hella are a little rounder

Trav · 11-06-2003, 11:30 AM

I will try and look up my part number for you...I think they were around $180 for the entire kit, but I also bought the Mazda Fog light swith that slots right into the dash, and you will need to add the relay to the Mazda wiring found behind the kick panel, on the left in the passenger foot well.

Dazz · 11-06-2003, 06:00 PM

cool thanks heeps for that mate,

dfvadr · 12-06-2003, 08:45 PM

not that they will suit ur car but i rang mazda about the price on the lights in the sp20 an they were $450 each

cgunther · 16-06-2003, 11:16 PM

Surely you can pick some up from a V6 at a wreckers / importer somewhere.
Although, I haven't tried to find a wrecker / importer with a V6 mazda lying around.

mrpayner · 17-06-2003, 12:41 PM

I'm sure most of us have tried a wreckers at some stage to see if we can get those lights cheaper than Mazda prices.....however..... the wreckers know how much they are, so they try to get top dollar for them....

They're not likely to be that much cheaper anyways
