while you have em apart, you should retrofit them with HID projectors too

To answer the question no. The p5 headlights have seperate hi/lo beam bulbs where the sedans have the hi/low in one bulb. But easiest way is just follow the how to jtlinna posted

The mod really isn't that tough. If you are slightly mechanically inclined you can do it. Alternatively, you can pay ~$400.00 for these...

I don't think that was his question, i think he was asking if the black canadian headlights or sedan lights could be mounted to his car

the answer to THAT question is yes. Any and all 3rd gen headlights are interchangable. I had Depo sedan headlights on both my P5's



and in all honesty, if you have the capability of removing the bumper to swap the headlights, you have the capability of baking and painting the headlights yourself and saving $400

well he main reason for me asking if they were interchangeable was because mine are SEVERELY oxidized. i've tried several restoration kits and all have given me the same result. maybe i'll get a new pair of OEMs, bake em and paint em...possible TSX's but we'll see.

thanks everyone!

Mxp5 how was the swap with the sedan headlights? Wiring simple? Hard? Looking to swap too

Considering I upgraded to projectors, I used a new wiring harness that is plug and play with the oem harness
