I guess on the blue the clear headlights look good, but I would keep my stock ones on my titanium because they match.

Great, Do you find that they throw better light???

 

[CustomMSP]

Don't know yet, but I think the sedans have better light output. It's a lot sharper.

Sweet. I see this is becoming a more popular mod. I just got my CAD "blacked out" P5 headlights the other day and can't wait to put them on.

As was asked before, how did you do your wiring? Did you source the lows off of the fogs?

The wiring is very easy actually. The P5 owner will need two relays, the Sedan owner will need to split a few wires that's it. There're diagrams on the forum if you do a search for "headlight swap." They're all made by "TheWire" I think. You shouldn't need to source the lowbeam off the fogs. There's a common +12 and two grounds on the sedans in that H4 harness. You need to use the common +12 for both the Low and the Hi beams. Then just connect the Low and the Hi beam negative to their correcponding harness and you're all set. You will need a multimeter. Thanks.

Much thanks, for the info. I'll look those threads up right now. That is exactly what I was hoping to do. That way I can still keep my fogs ability to come on with my fogs.

I like it, and I think that more sedan owners should do it because IMO our P5 lights do seem to throw out a bit more light, but on your car I would have gone with the Canadian / Japanese spec black ones.

i read a magazine article that said that the protege5 headlights had the farthest "reach" of any factory lamp design

i dunno, i never liked the p5 headlight beam. thats why i took em off and put the stock ones back on. maybe i am just used to the mp3 ones....

You were right the wiring was a piece of cake. Thanks for the tips on where to find the wiring diagrams. I'm happy with the results.
