P5 lights on a sedan is easy, it's the other way around that's tricky.
No, you have to use the relay because the P5 uses negative switching and the sedan dies not. This is why they used the relay. Follow that diagram and it will fix you right up.
Yeah it sounds like it. Do I just need to tap a power source for the high beams?
Thanks Nik, you da man!
so i got into an accident and need at least one new headlight possibly two headlights so i was considering switching to sedan headlights since they are far cheaper. My only worry is the wiring, if i can find a sedan with the wiring can i pull that and install it into the p5 to make it work or do i still need to make my own wiring or would doing an hid kit like thisbe a better option? cause all the wiring posted a few posts up is almost $70 but HID kits are only around $80 and if i do that then I don't need to do the other wiring right?
Does anyone have the process for removing the Headlight assemblies on a P5?
1. It'll require removing the bumper first:

2. Remove the clips on the crash bar, you can't remove the headlights with these in the way.
3. Remove the 3 bolts holding on the headlights, there is one on top, and one of the left and right side. Also remove the low beam, high beam, and turn signal plugs.
