They are the same style as the 2001-2005 Miata but on the 2004-2005 Mazdaspeed version they are painted black.

You can always paint them like I did with my 01 LS.

It was super nice looking, I was impressed with the way it came out.

I did something similar with my jspec headlights on my old mx6. The trick is making sure you seal the lights very very well when you put them back together. Windshield butyl rubber works well.

I just wish i had more affordable options for aftermarket lighting on my NA. :p

You gotta have balls to put your headlights in the oven. If you can do that, it's a breeze from there. The paint is just regular ole' Dupli Color. I used a flat black and a glossy black.

It's really not that bad. Just keep an eye on it. There's a how-to on Miata.net I believe.

you don't make it over to the Protege section much, do you? :p

That's almost standard practice now.
