    Part out of a 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege.

    I'm in need of license plate lights. Not the bulb or socket, just the clear plastic dome/lens piece that the bulb and socket locks into and that "snaps" into place in the trunklid above the license plate. I need them for a Protege5 but I'm hoping the Sedan ones are the same. I only *need* 1...

    How do I remove the ''diagonal cover'' on inside of protege5?

    Oh I know. I just wanted to make a joke about Canada being cold. Cuz, you know. They can't get enough of jokes like that. (rlaugh)

    WTB: Protege5 License Plate Lights

    Not the bulb or the socket, but the clear plastic dome/lens piece that the bulb/socket twists into, which then "pops" into place above the license plate. Title specifies Protege5 but obviously, if the ones from a Protege sedan/MP3/MSP/some other vehicle will work, I will consider them also...

    Bikingpro5 supercharged Protege5

    With the white LEDs do you find your brake lights to be good and red, or a more washed-out pink?

    Bikingpro5 supercharged Protege5

    Are you using LED's for your taillights? The bottom ones and the top? Do you use white LED's or red?

    How do I remove the ''diagonal cover'' on inside of protege5?

    I meant for there to be a lol smiley in there. I dunno what happened to it. lol I've been fortunate enough to not have to mess with any of the plastic in the winter in my P5. Did it a few times in my Neons. Plastic doesn't like to flex when it's cold. It likes to cut cold flesh though.

    How do I remove the ''diagonal cover'' on inside of protege5?

    I suffer from CDO. It's like OCD, only the letters are in alphabetical order. AS THEY SHOULD BE. (edit: how fitting that this is my 100th post. Yay CDO!) Here we go! Here we have your garden variety A-pillar. Very common in nature, and very tame-able. First, wedge your fingers underneath...

    How do I remove the ''diagonal cover'' on inside of protege5?

    Is it still that cold up there? :lol: (says the guy who cranked up the A/C because he was sweating while sitting still) In order to not be a serial thread hijacker (thought I'd outgrown that, lol) I'm gonna run outside and try it out, since I've never taken off the a-pillar before. If I don't...

    2003.5 Yellow MSP Part Out - AEM CAI Kinetic FMIC Front Bumper w/lip

    I may also be interested in a set of hvac controls if it doesn't have the flickering a/c issue. But what I'm *really* interested in are a couple of the snap-in license plate lights for P5. Got any of them? Don't need the bulb or the bulb socket, just the clear plastic lens piece.

    JDM_Pro5's Build Thread

    I recently installed some LED reverse lights. They're damn near blinding at night, I love 'em. During the day, though..... I worry that they're not visible at all. Keep an eye on em, is all.

    Just bought a Protege5 and she's a beauty ! Few questions about a clicking noise

    I have an odd clicking sound coming from what I think is the driver's front wheel. The best way I can describe the sound would be like two large plastic gears turning against each other. Speed dependent, not at all RPM dependent, not at all affected by applying brakes (or not applying them.)...

    02 P5 won't turn over

    First thing I'm thinking is either your battery terminals are loose or corroded or otherwise not making a good solid connection, or else your battery is toast. I spent a couple years working at an AutoZone and I can't tell you how many times I saw a battery that seemed good - windows move at...

    msp/mp5 what's the difference?

    Pretty sure there was never a Mazdaspeed Protege5. There was a Mazdaspeed Protege. Basically a regular protege with a turbo bolted on in the factory. They didn't do that with the Protege5. The only difference between a regular Protege and a Protege5 is that one is a hatchback and one is a...

    Do you see me eating mice?!?!?!?!?! (ninja edit - I love how the forum automatically un-capslocks a block of capslocked text. Caps lock is cruise control for cool, you know. :p )

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    WANT!!! I was having a converstaion just an hour or so ago with the guy in the fabrication lab at work about fixing the EGR bung on a MX6/626 4-2-1 header. While it wouldn't help me to learn to weld (which I still want to learn), it'll be a LOT easier on me. lol

    What new car should I get?

    Mitsubishi Eclipse. Great cars, fantastic for mods. And you can get a standalone fuel management system. Not a bad way to spend ten thousand dollars..... lol
