Everyone online talks about how much of a hassle this is. You just made it look so simple and easy that idk how they can complain. Using this soon for a headlight restoration. Thank you🎉
Great video. Thanks. I was going to remove my headlight assemblies to clean the inside of the them. I was told to remove them, take out the bulbs, and slosh around a distilled water solution inside and then let them dry. Are there any issues doing that with the Xenon HID bulbs? Thanks.
Hey great looking Miata - Is it possible for me to change out a burned out Driver side low beam bulb without removing the bumper? do you know a simple way to change out just the bulb? thx if you are able to answer
You can also unbolt the fusebox and squeeze your hand through the gap you've made, but it's definitely going to hurt, so probably easiest to remove the bumper
Thanks a lot for this video! Really came in handy when I did a xenon projector retrofit last week! If you ever decide to swap projectors beware, the DS2 projectors at theretrofitsource are NOT easily swapped in. The projectors from an RX8 would be a direct swap though.
Very well done! Looking forward to many more of your instructional NC vids. There are an abundance of NA and NB “how to vids” but not much on NCs. One thing I would really enjoy (and learn from) would be your jacking process; such as placement of the jack hat (on vs behind the pinch welds / jacking points) as well as your placement of the jack stands. I can’t quite make it out from your videos. There seems to be quite a debate in the Miata community and on the forums as to the best way to do this.
Thank you for this. I need to remove the front bumper off my 2008 NC (should be very similar) to gain access to the radiator, the AC rad and the inter-cooler. I have a small leak but the smell of the coolant makes me sick. I feel much better now that I have seen this.
Bless you Sir. New NC owner 2006. Came with a busted nose - and a really good price. Searching for a nose in that same or similar color (Red Copper Mica?).
Good luck, I have maybe found 3 in the same color but nc1. I ordered one from japan but I'm hesitant to paint it because I want the paint match to be perfect. So I'm going to see if I can find one and just look past the imperfections for now.
re: at the beginning of the video, (the two plastic side black panels removal) *can you remove the middle long one without removing the bumper ? thank you in advance!
Loving the vids bro my NC is also the Wine Burgundy. Im just concerned with the cosmetics not trying to really tune it. Do you hace a list of parts and where to get then?
I just watched the front bumper removal video. Great job! I have a 2007 Grand Touring (Copper Red Micah) that could use a face lift also. What would a new bumper cost me, including paint?

Top work. I've been watching your journey with the car with interest. These videos are a super community contribution.
Thanks so much for following my videos!
This mini series is a great idea! Very nicely done! Best, Rob
Just took delivery of an NC. This video helped me a lot. Thanks man!

Thank you soo much for this clear and clean video instructional

You'd be taking off the fender liner and wheel and fighting it through the wheel well. At that point, it's genuinely easiest to take the bumper off
You can also unbolt the fusebox and squeeze your hand through the gap you've made, but it's definitely going to hurt, so probably easiest to remove the bumper

I haven’t seen your channel in some time , nice , you have lots of subscribers
Thanks for the video! What kind of wheels are those?

Same, I would love to see how you jacked up the car and the points you used for the NC.
Thanks for that, I've got on '09 and I wondered if your style grill would fit?
Thanks in advance!
Nope, not interchangable

Glad to help!
Excuse my ignorance and terms. But is a NC2 front plug and play when swapping to an NC1? Can you even swap the front?
Yeah everything is swappable
Very good video sir. Full of the useful information/video which makes it short and to the point. Great camera shots.
Thanks!
Any guidance for removing the front side indicators for bulb replacement?
Basically the same process
@@ColoredinLight sorry, I meant for the indicators that are on the side, not part of the main headlight assembly
@@keawoodw the only indicators are on the headlight. You mean the reflector below?
@@ColoredinLight huh just noticed you don't have them... I have them on my NC1
Now this is a quality ass video! Well done sir. Well done.
Tried to keep it simple and informative, thanks!

At the 1:25 mark in the video, you're removing the 3 black panels at the top of the bumper? What are these called? I am trying to find replacements.
Not sure on the part number for that
Does the lens pop off for cleaning ? I have inner oxidation that needs cleaning ..
You have to bake it open
amazing video bro! straight to the point, no messing
Going to do this today to swap from NC2 to NC3 headlights 👌
Thanks. This made the job easier for me. I hate those pop out plastic rivets.
I really do love you mate - anything I need I find on your channel. Thank you so much!
Can I replace the headlight bulb without doing all this ??
I bought some app controlled
H-11Devil Eye LEDs...
You can replace through the wheel well but its tight
@@ColoredinLight AWESOME...thanks 🤘
What car jack do you use ?
Harbor freight
re: at the beginning of the video,
(the two plastic side black panels removal)
*can you remove the middle long one without removing the bumper ?
thank you in advance!
I dont think so
Loving the vids bro my NC is also the Wine Burgundy. Im just concerned with the cosmetics not trying to really tune it. Do you hace a list of parts and where to get then?
** them
jeez. ** have
Thanks for checking out my videos! I would go back to my 3 years of ownership video. I have a list of all the mods there!
A very clear explanation and exactly what I needed . . . thanks!
Love the video guides! Will help me loads working on my mk3.5 👍🏻 keep up the good work.
I like this type of instructional video. Good Job!
Is it possible to remove the headlight without removing the front bumper?
Nope
Kudo’s!! Great improvement over your first!! 💪🏽
where are you buy your front bumper ?
The new bumper that is coming is from jdm buyer. It's an oem bumper from japan
your videos are very well done, glad you just get right it.
I appreciate that!
Very clear and succinct. Nice job.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank,s Service doing ! NC 7/2014 !
Grazie per questo video, mi serviva come l'aria!!!
Prego
Thank you! Great and easy to follow video
You're welcome, happy to help!
just the video I needed! Thanks :)
👍👍 used this again
Thank you, useful guide
I just watched the front bumper removal video. Great job! I have a 2007 Grand Touring (Copper Red Micah) that could use a face lift also. What would a new bumper cost me, including paint?
Probably a lot lol, prices are high for bumpers, new
thanks
You are welcome
Nice one man!
This just reminds me of "How its Made" lol
It's good to watch if you need to go to sleep lol
Awesome thanks!
That's a lot of work to switch bulbs .....
Yep
@@ColoredinLight did a good job just the same, on another note my projector lights look a little dusty on the inside, but I think it will have to stay
Believe it or not it's easier to remove the bumper than try and do it through the fender wells. In my opinion
