Will those flush headlights fit our capri?

No, they don't fit....and it's a $600 kit. The entire housing needs to be re-worked to fit our cars, and the headlight assembly needs to be custom fabbed to work, or an entirely different mount has to be created. Once you get all that out of the way, now you have to deal with the having the headlights clear the bumper...Probably not worth the effort unless you work at/own a fabrication shop, or have a whole lot of time on your hands!

Unless you get super tiny projectors, there just isn't enough room to make them fit. The headlight lids don't slope down enough, in other words the vertical area is too short to install headlights into.
The Miata has much more slope in the front, and they have enough room. We don't.
You could gain enough room if you were to cut the hood back, or cut the header panel
