I would like to increase the forward firepower of my Miata.  What
I am planning at the very least an upgrade the headlights to an
H4 unit such as a Hella.  Earlier this month I saw a truck
with Marchall (sp?) 7" headlights that had two separate
reflectors, one for high, one for low, each with it's own H1 or
H3 bulb.  The owner said that the high beams were great, and the
low beams were acceptable. I've been looking for these or similar
lights, but I haven't been able to find them.  Anyone know where
I can pick some of these up?

I have also been looking for driving lights that I can mount in
the grille area.  The Piaa projector lights look promising,
potentially small enough to mount in the corners of the grille
(where the tie downs are now) without blocking too much airflow.
But I can't find anyone local who stocks them so I can hold them
up and see how they will fit.  I have looked at a number of other
lights, but the most common are quite wide and present too much
of a blockage for airflow for me to feel comfortable.  Ideas/
comments?

Finally, is the switch for the Mazda fog lights available
separately, and if so, does anyone know the part number?  It
would be nice to have the OEM switch.
