Thanks (2thumbs)

They're "Autopia" Fogs from ebay, if you search up protege fog lights, they're the best quality ones that have halos. The mounting bracket that is included is perfect for drilling into the underside of the crash bar to mount them.

Are those the ones that the halo changes different colors?

Yes, idk how it is now but when I bought mine, it was optional but it was free so I figured why not, there was 7 colors, none of which were amber, yellow nor white so I never really used them. Great light put out on these fogs though for sure.

I have those same ones. I don't care for the halos but the fogs themselves are bright as hell.

you get in a fender bender and your one off lights gets smacked your screwed. Using OEM parts you can still say 100% DOT legal as well as easier to replace and at the same time stand out just slightly. Just some food for thought.

I like the P5 lights because of the chrome sides of the light instead of the orange reflector.

#5005, female 9005 connector's

Wiring it like this will keep the low beams on when you turn the high beams on/off?

Can somebody post links to the actual products on suvlights.com instead of just the pictures? I can't find them on the site to order.

Also, I found these on ebay. Are these what I need?

i think so. i havent done it, but im pretty sure it does. the lowbeams are always "hot" since thats a switched +12, and the highbeams illuminate when the negative pin is grounded.

yes.

they are, but the bulbs are different.

they are, but the bulbs are different.

Like different sizes? Or P5's have HID, or what? I always thought they were the same?

 

[yudkib]

no - just look at the bezel. MSP is H4 since its a dual filament high/low. p5 has two seperate bulbs, 9005, and H7
[edit: thanks nato]

 

[nato]

H7

 

[BlueWolfCry]

Just did this a few days ago. Easy peasy! Looks awesome...

 

[nato]

BAM!

The H4 connector I got off eBay is kinda cheap, so I'll be replacing that. Other than that it was a pretty smooth install.

its early in the morning, so that diagram makes my brain splode a little bit. ill be back in a couple hours to look it over.
im not running p5 lights right now but when i installed my h4 hids i put in a relay and direct power to the ballasts and just grounded the ballasts to the chassis under the headlights where they are mounted. one wire stretched across the car.
ballast hidden just reach under for the bulb tails.

then all i would need to do is repeat the process for highbeams.
