I know the different between lhd cockpit vs rhd cockpit. Perhaps you got the inspiration save some power consumption to protect your light switch and get more brightness. I am very happy with the results and easy mod also.

Its important to protect the car inside from gases,smoke and smell. My wife dislikes the castrol smell inside of the rx7. I found out that the 3 old shifter rubber seals are broken. Mazdatrix offers a short shifter set i dislike. Mazda invastigated a lot ingeneering in smoth shifting and i didn't want to change this. Short shifter works to strong for me.I drilled out the rubber and glued the parts together after I exchanged the rubber seal. The rubber glue "sikaflex 221 black" works like the mazda glue and there isnt any vibration on the shifter stick.

Some pictures on the left side the old broken parts on the right side the new mazdatrix rubber seal and blue distance ring.
