What have you done to your P5 today?

[JDM_Pro5]

I'm planning on getting another set of DDM's 8k's for my fogs as well. I should invest in some battery harnesses, at least for my headlights.
Mx-P5, the actual circuit path went bad, If you open the top of the box, you have a pearlescent casing that holds all of your fuses, you have to separate that from the black plastic (which isn't supposed to happen) and get down to the circuit components. I was scared to death to do it, didn't wanna break anything else lol.

i tried to put hids on my fogs. but bulbs were too big/long? which ones yall get specific g3 bulb or what?

 

[mx-p5]

you'd need H3C bulbs, but those are SUPER prone to breaking

And PLEASE don't put HID's in halogen reflector bowls, they'll glare like a mother father



and JDM, thanks, i'll have to take alook

 

[RicoP5]

ah there it goes. knew i had read which bulb it was but could not find it. thanks

 

[mx-p5]

guys have managed to stuff standard H3's in there too though, but it required a little modofication of the fogs

 

[JDM_Pro5]

No prob, sorry I didn't take pics of it as I went.

Thanks for the info about the H3C bulbs, didn't know they were that fragile. I originally got some of the "high powered" colored bulbs, I went for blue but it came out white and not quite as bright as the stock OEM Yellow fogs. the 35W HID's are plenty bright, I never use my highbeams, once I get the fogs I can run them out on the open roads. I live out in the mountain/woods so there is no one, just deer, hills, and curves. Gotta love my country touge. Unfortunately when I see people out in my area where we have no street lights, they always flash me cause they think my HID's are too bright.

Too late, I already did. (lol2) But now that I've adjusted the DS bulb I don't get flashed once a day.

Drove it to work this morning after having the 3 yesterday.

 

[JDM_Pro5]

My headlights are pretty hazy, I'm gonna clear them one of these upcoming weekends which should take my super glare down to a clean light.

 

[mx-p5]

i mean in the fogs


The Protege5 headlights actually handle HID's better than most any other car i've seen (remember i had em in both mine before projectors)


Option 3 is always an MSP lip and projector fogs in the grille

 

[CTt3P5]

^^^Oh, don't recall reading about the glare from the fogs. I just left mine alone and looking for a replacement as my DS is cracked. Yes, I remember and can't believe you've had the projectors for so long....time flies!

Light *****!

 

[JDM_Pro5]

That is a cleeean ride my friend. The tinted lights with the projectors look sick! I would take that car any day. Where did you manage to find an MSP lip?

This is the week I installed HID's...about a year ago. I don't know how I managed to destroy the clear on my driver side headlight so fast

 

[mx-p5]

You know it

and thanks, that's the wife's car

and the lights aren't tinted, that's a custom fiberglass shroud around the projector

as to the MSP lip, i've had 3 lol
black one first on my P5

then sold it for a laser blue

God I miss that car


then picked up the white one for Callie's

 

[JDM_Pro5]

mx-p5, I see that you are an engineer, I too am an engineer

 

[mx-p5]

i'm an engineering assistant, i got no schooling behind me, but i do all the 3D CAD work my boss sketchs onto paper

 

[JDM_Pro5]

The question I've been dying to know is...can you fit stock P5 giant rally fog lights with the MSP lip?

 

[RicoP5]

im dying to get msp lip and then retros for my headlights
