The headlights are H7's. If your talking about bolt pattern for wheels, its 5x114.3 IIRC.

i prefer Streetglow H7s for the headlights. nice, bright, they last a long time and aren't walletbusters

the fogs are like 100w, the headlights are 55wprotejay5 said:
I changed my headlights, this is my 3rd set so far. I'm having a problem with the connection I think. Its all clipped in ok but I loose contact. I'll have to pop the hood then just tinker with the white plug and the bulbs will comeon. So annoying. Also the bulbs I put in are higher watts then the standard and kinda burned up the white power clip ya know. Anybody else have that problem?
I'm having issues actually finding a headlight that fits, neither the H4 or H7 works. The prong on the H4 is right but the bulb is too big... is there anyone out there that's had this issue and found a bulb that fits?
Edit: Getting a kit tomorrow that will convert the 3 prong plug for the H4 to an H7 as I know the H7 bulbs fit, but don't have the correct plug for my car.

Holy old thread revival! I think your issue may be the same as mine when I bought it... is there a black adapter that goes between the bulb itself and the white plug? If not, there should be. The only reason I can assume this happens is that someone has HIDs, sells the car, keeps the HIDs, and completely forgot where they put the adapters and says **** it.
If the adapter is there, you should have no problem putting the H7 bulb in.

Just bought an 02 Protege5, having the same issue with the headlights... looks like I'm missing that black adapter between the bulb and the white plug... any idea where I can get replacements?
I am looking to install the HID on my MP5 in the next 2 weeks. i was going to go with 6000k. But after reading your Comment Above. i am little confused.
i want to go for the White Bright look. so which one will be the best ones for me. the 6000 or 5000 or the 4500 ? i am also going to go for the 55w kit. any comments on that.
Thanks in advance ...

55W kits are overkill for our stock headlights and a relay harness is recommended with that setup due to the power it draws at startup. I would stick with 35W in 4300/4500K...no higher than 5000K (which would give you a slight hint of blue...but you start losing a little bit of useable light on the road).
