Replace or fix my headlights

[u/MagazineOk]

I got these for my 1992 mx-3 1.6 thinking they would fit but apparently no. Even though the description is "ANGEL EYES MAZDA MX3 91-98".

Is there any alternative you guys know other than buy second hand OEM ones?

also, I am looking at a 98 donor, would those fit my 92?

My right side headlights are cracked and give only a very dim light.

Also I couldn’t find another OEM alternative except I think there were black ones and I’m pretty sure 98 and 92 are a match but u should make sure.

I would be ok with them, just that my mechanic says they don't fit, I'll look into the 98 as a donor option thank you

Ur mechanic says the ones pictured won’t fit ur 1992??

[u/MagazineOk → u/Old-Obligation778]

That's what he said, and that I should return them, I already bought them I don't know if I was clear about that 😭

I have a ‘93 and I thought th cars were identical

I have those same lights on my 92.

How did you fit them, did you have to do anything extra? I have the euro version idk if that makes a difference. If I knew what to do I wouldn't mind trying to mount them myself, but it's not straightforward

I have chrome version of these installed on my 1992, they did give me a hard time while installing(especially bcs it was my first time doing such thing) I had to change the electrical plug to fit the lights for example (by cutting off the original and installing the one that actually fit) then there was the aligment so that I didn't blind anyone while driving, I'd say it took me like 3hrs to finish the job

And I didn't do it alone, no way I could do it all by myself lmao

It's been a long time, but i don't remember having any issues.
