Flash to pass

Until late 1993, pulling on the headlight stalk would flash the headlights, but they would not pop-up, so no-one can actually see them. This was rectified by Mazda in sometime in the latter half of 1993 with a system that would raise the lights to flash and them lower them again 3 seconds later. There is a nice, simple modification available to replicate this on the early cars.

One common problem with the MK2 MX5 is caused by the headlight earthing blocks. They corrode causing a bad earth which will make your headlights dim and often can cause the bulb connectors to overheat and melt.

If you're driving a Mk2, Mk3 or a pre-loved Mk1, this guide probably won't apply to you because your car either came with headlamp units that are quite effective, or have since been replaced with a decent set. Likewise, if you're a Mk1 owner whose car hasn't already had its sealed beam headlamps replaced and you actually like being able only to see as far ahead as you can spit when hurtling down country lanes at national speed limit, this guide isn't for you either. If you're a Mk1 owner whose car hasn't had the sealed beams replaced and you're also very familiar with replacing car headlamps/bulbs, then this guide is well beneath your level of experience and so won't be your cup of tea.
