That would help. But let's make an assumption that
the headlights are US spec and round.  I got some
e-code lights for my Miata from Susquehanna
MotorSports (www.rallylights.com).  IIRC, they
were only about $50 each, much cheaper than
the e-code lights for my 200.

As for installation, it was a piece of cake. Remove
the old sealed beam headlights. Insert a bulb into
the new e-code lights, then install the new lights,
like you are putting in new sealed beams.  I think
it was 3 or 4 screws per side.  The Miata already
had relays, so that may make your install a bit
more complex.

Lacking further info, this may help get you
started.
