I am officially an idiot....:)

[Boostedxt]

yes its official. I went to replace my headlight bulbs and after I tossed the old busted bulb I realized Ineeded the adaptor off of it to put in the new bulbs... (first)

So now here I am with 1 light out on the low beam headlight, a new H7 bulb, and no adaptor to put on it so it fits the harness. Anyone know if I can get the adaptor from Napa or do I need to go to the dealer? Am I the only idiot who has done this? (boom07)

im confused.

 

[Mike R]

Dunno, but that does suck ass.

 

[justanotheradikt]

ahh dude that sucks...didnt know the p5 had an adaptor....id try calling them tomorrow morning.

 

[Aricjm15]

its a dealer only thing, cost somewhere around $13

 

[justanotheradikt]

damn.....and theyd probably have to order it....

junk yard?

 

[Boostedxt]

Oh junk yard....fun! I can go 1 more week without it for some time in the junk yard.

This is the first time I have ever dealt with ANY car that had an adaptor like that. Its stoooopid, but I should have read the manual before being an asshat.

[justanotheradikt]

no fun in the junkyard? can find some crazy ass stuff in there.

i had to replace mine for melting from new bulbs. it was 23 bucks from the dealer for one. and they had it on the shelf

 

[Pretzellogic]

I doubt you'll find a p5 in the junkyard, and the sedans have a different headlight setup.

Looks like you're going to the dealer.

 

[justanotheradikt]

if its on the shelf thats awsome..... there are a lot of p5s in the junkyards here....but then again nobody can drive in LA.

 

[traitorhound]

they are more like around 11 bux. . i remember when i threw mine out back in the day. i dont use em anymore since i have hid's. . .find another car that uses h7's and they might have the same adapter in place. . i know my honda cbr has the same adapters too so i actually have 4 of them lying around somewhere since they all have HID's now

too bad taht are like 2 hours away at my parents house or i would just send you one

 

[Boostedxt]

Dude.....please? hahaha..

Which junk yards had P5s in LA?
I called around about a month ago and nobody had one.

I just replaced a headlight on my car.. used the manual that came with the car.. it doesn't make mention of removing that gasket.. i just figured it out when the h7 i got at Advanced didn't have it..

don't mean to threadjack, but:

Which bulbs does the P5 need (I know it's 2, I just don't know which 1's). Thanks. I'm even providing a form you can fill out for your convinience:

Hi's:
Lo's:

 

[Boostedxt]

Hi beam: 9005
Low beam: H7

Oh and keep the black plastic piece on the back of the light bulb...you might need it.

So I hear

Don't feel bad, I came this close *--> <--* to doing just that, luckily the salesman reminded me to pull the adaptor off before chucking the old bulb, otherwise I would've been in your situation.
