Headlight covers

Just incase anyone wants new genuine ones.

They're on ebay in America but I've ordered mine through my local mazda dealer as they'll work out cheaper and they are in UK stock as of writing this.

They came to just under £200 with the vat for the pair which I think is reasonable considering fiberglass ones are over £100 and secondhand ones seem to be non existent.

Good to know. Any particular reason for not going for the Concept7 ones? Is it an OEM thing, or have you found the Concept’s to not fit as well (panel gaps etc.)?

I just prefer the oem fit and quality to be honest. I haven't seen the concept 7 ones in person, only the pictures on their site, but they're probably just as good as oem.

The concept 7 ones are an excellent fit and quality.

I went with concept 7 to replace my chipped cover (flew off and hit the windscreen while driving). Fitment was spot on and the cover itself felt a lot stronger/sturdier than the OEM. I just took the cover to a body shop and they matched the color.

Awesome response, thanks.

I ran a fillet of JB weld around all of the tabs on my stock ones to provide a larger contact area. Not sure how much of a difference it has made, but they have been secure at 170+ with the lights up. Think the biggest issue is people leaning on them with the bonnet up.

That’s how mine broke, flew off at 120
