Raybrig Multi Reflector Headlights

The right headlight was burned out and I decided to install the Raybrig Multi Reflector Headlight.

With this Raybrig Multi Reflector H4 Round Housing replacement, you can change out the H4 bulb anytime without replacing the whole unit.

This unit is perfect for the NA Miatas. My Raybrig Multi Reflector Headlight comes with a tinted Blue lens and a Raybrig Clear High Power H4 halogen bulb.

Raybrig is a brand of Stanley Electric Co., Ltd. You can expect Japanese high quality material and craftsmanship.

900,000th Mazda MX-5

Total production of Mazda MX-5 (Mazda Roadster in Japan) reached 900,000 units on February 4, 2011. This significant milestone was achieved 21 years and 10 months after mass production of the first-generation MX-5 commenced in April 1989.

The MX-5 was initially certified by Guinness World Records as the world's "Best selling two-seater sports car" when production reached 531,890 units in May 2000. Guinness updated the record when production passed 700,000 and, later, 800,000 units. Currently, Mazda is reapplying to Guinness World Records to have the record updated to 900,000 units.
