......I wanted to know if anyone ever bought the Bugeye kit and installed

(since Typhoon is out of business) OR knows who might be selling it ....

Have installed both of the versions..  the US and the Japanese.  There are
a few differences.   Never did a product review as they are seemingly out
of business as long as 1 1/2 years ago.  

The unit certainly is an attention getter and draws a lot of attention in
car shows.  The kits were made in Japan and distributed in the States by
Typhoon.  Was searching around in garage trying to locate any paperwork.
Instructions were in Japanese but not hard to figure out.  Both come
complete with the headlamps and the Lucas running lights.

To my knowledge there were only 13 sold in the US.. and I bought two of
them.  Installation is simple and fully reversable, so will keep it if I
change Miatas.  Had several offers to sell it, and one of them was at twice
the price I paid for it.  Was not enough to retire with or trade for a
Morgan, so will try to keep it forever.

Where are the other 12 people ?   Have not seen another one yet, but heard
there is one in Florida somewhere and another in Washington State.

Am interested in your project and would appreciate any information you
find.  If can locate anything here  will advise.

Good luck
