i didn't want to risk screwing up (painting the housing in the headlights), so i did it the easy way - traded with a local guy who had an 03 and wanted the chrome housingamsgator said:
i can get the headlights for you brand new, but they're not cheap...
i am SO happy driving my baby again (wiggle) i knew i missed her, but i didn't realize how much. think there *might* be an issue with the wheels since the steering wheels seems to shimmy a little at highway speeds so i'll monitor that for a couple days; if there is, i'll just take it back to the shop - yay for free balancing.
tomorrow i pick up my rockblocker-esque covers for my headlights. been driving around for a couple days now with the brand new headlights, so i want to get them covered ASAP so they don't get chipped. then it's off to the audio shop to get a lesson is how my HU works, lol

IIRC the Canadian market lights are as much or more than the US. Maybe $250 + or - EACH.
I have part numbers here somewhere but can't seem to find them right now.
Still thinking about this for my P5
Found out this week that one of my O2 sensors is shot. Lasted 3 years with the AWR header so not bad. Stupid CEL

Just follow the 'how-to' that rednecks posted and you will be set. Really not that hard to do, but it is a lot more fun with other people. Just got to watch those hidden tabs.

and I was there!WARNING: this post is what I did with my rental today, not my Protege5
I drove to the body shop and SAW MY CAR!! I didn't have my camera with me, if I get bored again I'll go visit it again tonight and take a pic! Of course they have it pulled in so I can barely get a glimpse of the front end, but I can tell that the bumper/fender/hood is removed.
Then I drove the 3 miles back from the body shop with the e-brake pulled up as hard as I physically could on the G5. I've been back for 5 minutes and the brakes are still smoking hahahaha (I really wonder why they charge extra fees for young people to rent cars???)

nope...that's not it either. it has a rolled edge (the edge is completely round), but it's oval...and it's a catback not an axleback...still looking for a picture...RedHotP5 said:You mean like this?....(Kansei explained it all above)

ok found a pic finally...it's kinda far away though...another detail is that the tip is cut off at an angle kinda, so it goes like this \==
