Tony,



Can you clarify your statement "ALL MX5's" ?

Do you mean all UK, or all European?



MX-5's in New Zealand and Australia could always put on the small

lights without raising the big ones. Japanese ones are the same, but

they're Eunos Roadsters, not MX-5's.



Man....what a dumb law that one is....  glad its not here...
