With the ‘01-03 Miata, Mazda engineers fixed the oddball fog light bracket & housing situation on the NB1s and mounted fogs directly to the bumper, but ultimately picked a fairly small uncommon fog light housing. No manufacturers made upgraded versions of this housing due to limited other models using it, and Mazda made the cutouts in the bumper too small for common 2 ½” fog lights to fit properly. This kit uses a conversion bracket and spacers to adapt to one of the most common 2 ½” fog light housings on the market, unofficially called “Type A”. These are used in most modern Hondas, Fords, and Subarus.
‘04-05 Miatas were updated to use the same “Type A” fog housings used in this kit and these models don't require this conversion. However, if you are missing the factory brackets/harnesses for your late year NB2, this kit can act as a direct replacement
NB2 Front Bumper Swapped NB1s use NB1 harnesses and NB2 brackets/Hardware. Select brackets/hardware/trim option on the this pate and add to cart, then follow directions on NB1 Fog Light Conversion Page
Trimmed Fitment Vs No Trim
Standard 2 ½” fog lights don't fit through the 2-⅜” diameter fog light holes in the stock ‘01-03 bumpers and end up recessed behind the bumper a bit. The trim kit provides a template and instructions to safely and cleanly trim the openings, which allows fog lights to be located 1/2" forward through the fog openings for a fitment like stock. Most people won’t be bothered by the less than ideal fitment/wont want to trim their bumper and will opt for the no-trim fitment, but I wanted to make the ideal solution available for those who who don’t like the recessed fitment and aren’t afraid to do some dremeling. For those who are unsure or may do the trim later, the combined kit is available.

If you plan to stick with halogen, you'll be converting from 65w H1 bulbs to a lower power 55w H11 bulb. This swap is typically done to convert to a housing style with aftermarket LED/custom options, or due to lack of availability of quality factory replacements.
