1999 Protege ES
I own a '99 ES and I love the looks of the dual bulb headlight housing on the Sport20. My question is will those headlights fit on my car? After comparing pictures of my car and the car on Cork Sport's website I noticed the Sport20's headlights are wider. They look to be the same shape towards the grill as I have seen some other Sport20 conversions with the North American single bulb headlights. Its been forever since I last talked to someone about this conversion but if I remember correctly the corner lights are a different shape and require a different fender, is that true? I included some pictures to maybe help.

Jeff used the 99-00 headlights (like yours). They don't fit quite as well as the JDM lights but they are a lot cheaper.

Well the headlights are the only thing I want to change really, I don't have the money to do a full conversion. I was hoping that I could just do the headlights.
 
those headlights are about $900 if i'm correct... waaaay too much to spend on looks... that's prob about 20% of what your car is worth...

but up to you, just pointing out the facts...
 
Yeah, better to get the sport20 bumper cover and use your lights. If you want to spend that much why not get projector retrofits? You have to search but I've seen them on a 99-00 here.
 
if you buy those headlight i'll kick your butt ;) LOL

they are amazing but too much expensive damnit ...

here is mine ;)

I have a friend stationed in Japan and he said he would try and source me some used headlights if he can find them. So price shouldn't be nearly as bad as buying them new in the US. I would love to do the full conversion but like I said I don't have the funds for that.

That's a nice job modding the 03.5 lip to fit. I didn't even notice it at first :)

Remember, Japan is RHD and you are LHD.
So unless you want to blind oncoming traffic, you'll need to alter the JDM headlights.

Hey what's up man? Sorry it's been a while since I've visited your site. Anything new with the ride?

I think its in the reflectors, just reaiming would sound easy if it was possible
but I guess it won't do the trick.
