What have you done to your P5 today?

i've been trying to find the same thing

I have those plugs, but i need the connectors
 
Matt, LED's won't work unless you find special ones that do. I don't know how to explain it but the connectors for the 1157 LED's is not the same as for regular 1157's. I bought a pair and they would light up but only if you held them in a certain position when putting them in and that was a position where they were halfway in.

not sure which ones you got but every pair of 1157 bulbs i have bought work in all 1157 sockets.


Matt as far as that plug goes mazda can order you the connector housing but you need to provide the wiring harness prongs...however if you dont care for using the lamps on the corner of the bumper you can use that plug with very slight modification to the socket.
 
not sounding mean at all dude!

I totally understand where he's coming from, having other hobbies and them not being the best for both.

When i started biking, i had guys freaking out on me for not getting alloy wheels or carbon fiber bars and disc brakes, and etc. etc. etc. cause i was modding my car instead.

+1 mod the car

So the connectors that are on the foglight harness for the P5 side markers use the same plug? If so then that's perfect.

one of my friends gets pissed at me every time i spend money on the car rather than on my bikes. gotta find balance :) maybe ill still lower it, just gotta see how finances go this summer.

the bike in my picture of the hitch rack cost me around 1500 so far, its around 25lbs, could be lighter
 
One of my brake lights was out when I bought the car, my Miata buddy that went with me to buy it didn't notice until I was almost home. (lol)
 
Where can I find this plug?

In quite a few scenarios, if you can solder, you free yourself from many of these problems. If I can't match OEM connectors, I use RC hobby connectors for RC cars and helicopters. Or solder the OEM to something aftermarket. Just a thought... Most recently, I did this to connect my PIAA fogs.

Ordered 8000k Low Beams and 3000k Hi Beams from hidny.com (just the basic $50 kit that I had on my pontiac that worked well). Debating whether or not to get 6000k for the highbeams (though I doubt that I would ever use them, just something for a slight color change).

Since I'm caught up on bills debating on whether or not getting the MSP exhaust from protegegarage.com. I've heard countless sound clips and I'm stuck between the MSP and the Vibrant (Though I don't think a full catback is needed right now since I just have an intake).

Save up and get the Racing Beat catback. I love mine
 
that's just it, I could order it right now, but i think i'll wait a couple of weeks and get the HIDs and all that.

im still not sold on the RB exhaust and need to hear/see more sounds clips (not many on youtube that show a good representation of it)

but the overall look is what im going for (close to stock looking tip)

Next on the list will be full engine mounts (don't know what rating to go with though, I'm not turbo and probably won't go turbo for some time, but i do want something with decent acceleration/bottom end gitty up so i dunno)

3k HID's is a lot more than a "slight color change"

it's yellow yellow. . . .
 
im talking about for the high beams to have 6000k and the lowbeams be 8000k the fogs were going to be 3000k but hidny just notified me and said that they were out of them, so i told them to go with 8000k fogs as well
