Headlights

[BlackCherry]

Where's a good place to purchase new headlights for my protege5?

 

[StealthWyvern]

ebay... seriously ebay

Get the sedan lights on Ebay, they are much cheaper, around $150 for a set shipped.

 

[BlackCherry]

How do you hook up sedan headlights though?

 

[hornsfan10609]

I would try to find P5 lights but that's because they look cooler than the single H4 sedan lights.

A little re-wiring is required and IIRC you might be able to buy an actual harness somewhere to make things easier. I believe the write-up is in the 'how-to' section.

And P5 lights > sedan lights....only reason I would go with sedan lights would be for an HID retrofit.

About a month ago I found a seller on ebay selling P5 lights but they were going for $400 a pair so I passed.

I disagree. That little corner light on the end looks like crap.

It's all opinion, that's what everybody is good for, and I have seen plenty of sedan lights. Nothing looks better than blacked out P5 lights, IMO. They are better for HIDs with a seperate hi/low as well.

Something tells me these aren't projectors.

Back on topic though Are the sedan lights the exact same shape as the P5's?

 

[BlackCherry]

Only problem I'd have with the sedan is that I already bought HID's for the p5 lights :/ and I'm not really a huge fan of the JDM/depo lights, if anything I'd go with

(I have no idea who's car that is)

 

[partsguy5]

I just installed a new set of jdm sedan lights into my p5 and the look great u do have to run a seperat mr74 relay to conver to the h4 bulb a little wiring but not bad if not u will just be running on low beams or both depending on how u wire them up

I had thought the sedan bumper was shaped differently and the sedan lights didn't fit the p5 bumper right, but apparently people make them fit fine on the P5s.

I'm gonna get these to swap out lenses but would also work great as replacement lamps:

To use the sedan H4 bulb, you would just need to cut off the factory H7 plug and splice in an H4 female connector, which is really easy to do.

I wouldn't trust that those lenses would fit on the P5 lights, the auction even says they won't fit P5s and aftermarket stuff usually isn't exactly the same dimensions as OEM. The stock plug on the P5 low beam is actually an H4 connector with only 2 wires, that's why there is an adapter for the H7 bulb. You might be able to run another wire into the stock headlight plug.

 

[Matt V]

The bulbs won't fit the P5 unless you change the connector like I specified before, the housings/lenses themselves however are identical.

P5 headlights are the sex. Sedans owners put them on their car for that reason!!
