You're thinking it's a complete hairdressing kit in a suitcase?

Very good idea, and one that Mazda must surely have thought about, but not the answer.

Thinking about it, that case is probably too big for an MX5 anyway!

It's either a self-inflatable spare tyre, a portable garage or a fold-away bicycle in case of breakdown.
Or a condom machine.

Richard is right, it folds out to a tiny petrol driven car as seen here http://www.microcar.org/2004/suitcasecar/

And just to prove that Mazda knew who their target audience was, here's the MX5 with enough custom luggage for a hairdryer, some rollers, various scissors and a little of whatever is in a blue rinse.

Are they the lights that control the starting grid at a F1 race?

Closer, because the red lights would light up sequentially depending on what you were doing, which I think is now becoming popular in the US

Are they the lights in the Delorean car featured in Back To The Future?

No and No, but they are lights on a car.

It was, strangely, designed for a fag by someone who had already done a chopper.

Alan Oakley designed the chopper, but I can't find anything connecting him to cars
