H7ST - Silverstars. That's all you need for the low beam. It's hard to find it in store because stores mostly carry the 9000+ series silverstars. I got it at ebay for $26

Just installed the H7ST's and they look great. I got them at kragen for $24 each blub. Thanks again for the tip Xyntax

The flooding issue is overated. Your not going to flood it as you coming out of parking places. If your worring about stalling you should get the automatic. So far no issues with mine and I love the car!

You won't flood it pulling out of your parking space... unless you screw up and stall the car.

Even Mazda will not deny that flooding will not occur in this case...

Remember the biggest drawback of SilverStars, namely that they have a dramatically lower lifespan than normal bulbs. Sylvania's own website says that in normal driving, they will only last about a year vs. the three to four years typical of normal halogen bulbs...

Well, I hope I'm asking this in the right place. I LOVE the car, but one annoyance is bothering me. The gas and clutch pedals are too different in terms of height (at least on mine). If I adjust the seat to where I can take the clutch pedal to the floor (which it NEEDS), then my right leg/knee are jacked up uncomfortably close.

On the other hand, if I adjust my leg to be comfortable with the gas pedal (which makes sense, since I use it more), then I have to stretch a lot to get the clutch pedal down far enough to work right.

-YES my legs are the same length! Has anyone else noticed this? Most of all, is there anything that can be done about it? -Any adjustment possible?
