I new mod I thought you guys would like...

alright im going to post what he said to me:
ok look i found a set of fog lights that had an outside diameter of 2.75" that is the size of the lenz hole the fog kit has the halo lens. What you have to do is strip it down to just the lens housing. this took a grinder and the unbolting of the fog unit. you have to seperate the wiring on the fog so you just have the wires for the halo. then you grind the lens housing to the shape of the chrome internal reflector and route the wires out of the breather hose on the back of the headlight housing you will need to seal the breather hole with silicone or some industrial hot glue. well that is the jist of it. I never said it was my "original" idea. I just havent seen another protege with it and i did it so i posted pics
 
we need to get some angel eye head light kits goin.. i personally think the stock headlight lamps are fugin ugly.. combine a angel eye kit and a catz hid system and that would b hot..
 
ghostP5.....I too have to thank you for the write-up. what you think of my lights? couldn't done jack s*** if i didn't have nice people like you sharing your work. (2thumbs)
 
Ghost, since you're getting compliments, I figured I'd chime in here, too. Great write up. I used your oven-tek to clear out the corners on my MSP. Looks great thanks to your simple directions.

You've got some balls puttin' your headlights in your oven... :D
 
i would never do that to my car, not my style.

but i still give major respect for the people who take the time to do mods like this.

damn, he just wanted to be unique. looks like he's left this thread now?

and while everyone is on a thank you spree. thank you ghost. i've read your guide over and over and over. soon as i have some time its time to black out the housing =D
 
i wanna black out my housing too, but i don't trust myself.

i read b4 in this forum that someone messed up.. i think it was RazorP5.

Anyone in the Jersey area wanna give me hand ?
 
Why USDM Protege5s still comes out with clear chrome headlights since Canadian P5s already comes out with black housing headlights

Well, despite getting burnt by the flames (which were not without warrant), the guy came up with a pretty damn good looking home mod, that IMO looks better than the other Home angel eyes mods Ive seen. Creative bastard, not to bright, but creative.

all u did was rip the idea off many honda owners

um, bmw?

i think it looks pretty cool, except for the really bright spot of light, and theres no reason not to disclose how to do it, so ****** what if i want to do it, doesnt make you any less original, im all the way down here in ****** texas, theres no totally original mods so just spill the beans
 
i think he was new and didn't really comprehend what we're trying to do here...share info and ideas with fellow owners. he should have expected the question "how did you do it" even though many of us won't try or don't care enough to do it. oh well, i call it "live and learn"!
 
There is a good possibility that He might not show his head around here again. He got 3rd degree burns on atleast 75%! Id have to say that he made the biggest newb error I have seen yet!
 
i'm a ass for just throwing the whole point of this forum, and that is to share information and ideas but im always the asshole, yep thats me read the sig.. :) calling me an asshole doesn't exactly bother me -shrugs- oh well.

Like i said i dont wanna make anyone mad. I am all for the how to's, but I just dont wanna tell everyone so there are 50 other proteges runnin around lookin the same. when it is dark the ring lights up all the way around. the pics were taken at dusk.

Each one teach one, and together we grow is my motto....
 
For all of those who want a "How To" I'll post a detailed list of what you need and how to do it (sorry no pics in the process of making them). I have now learned after gettin severly burned by a few people on this forum what exactly the objective of this forum is. I now know that the posts on this forum are to help each other not to "show off'. I originally didn't intend on presenting myself as a selfish prick who dosent want to share info. Well sorry, and I have learned my lesson. Also I an a mobile electronics installer so if anyone has any questions abou radios or TV's or anything else of that nature just ask.
 
i'm sure no one has any hard feelings but i think the intent of the site is to share stories, idea's, etc... between fellow Mazda owners...so if you post mods and pics someone is always going to ask questions...that's the whole point...just my 2 cents...
