Miata Motor Headlight Conversion
Posted: Tue Nov 26, 2019 12:53 am
Hi,
I've completed making the brackets and tested them (paint pending). I just thought you folks would want to see it.
I experimented with having a spring on it, but it's not needed for raising them and didn't change the amount of jiggle. All of the play is in the pod pivots, which was there with the vacuum setup (which was fine).
I used a PWM controller from Amazon to slow them down. My tests were just done with little jumper cables. I haven't finalized the wiring yet, but it seems straight forward from here.
It's 100% bolt in. No mods needed beyond replacing the vacuum pod with this motor. It bolts in the same holes as the pod.
Links for videos of it working.
