lighting

so one of the lights behind my gauges went out, making it difficult to read the lower end of the tach and higher end of the speedometer at night... just wondering if anyone knows of a good way of getting at those lights and what to replace them with? thanks :)

So has anyone actually converted their fog lights to HID succesfully? How short of a lifespan do the H3C bulbs actually have (hours)?

Well I just bought a 2003 Protege5 a few weeks ago, first car (rei) so i'm just doing some stuff to clean it up... i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to clean up the head light lenses? they're just fogged up and dirty i believe, but i've heard of products to make them clear again, just...

Hi there, Any know if I can get the hood latch off of a mazdaspeed protege (2003) as well as the fog lights? I've read threads about using truck lights from walmart etc and I am not too interested in that. Many thanks in advance.

What kind of light bulbs are in the fog lights for the proteges? 1 of mine blew out. I want to make sure i have the right bulb before i remove the bumper to replace it b/c its a pain in the butt. Oh and where can i get them?

I just purchased a used 2006 Mazda 5 a couple weeks ago. I noticed that there are no lights in the buttons for the radio and at night, it's impossible to see what buttons are what. I'm sure there are lights in there that just aren't working, but there isn't a Mazda dealer real close to me and I...

Driving down my street on the way to work this morning, the 4wd light on my dash was flashing. (Wonderful job on the streets, DPW.) We had a very light winter last year, so this might be the first time I've driven it in snow covered streets. I'm assuming that the flashing indicates that the...

I realized that I posted this in the wrong place but didn't know how to move the original, so, sorry for the repost. So, as of two nights ago I've noticed my head unit's lights are staying on all the time - even after I've turned off the lights, exited the car, and locked the doors. . . ...

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've been on here, so, "hi." So, as of last night I've noticed my head unit's lights are staying on all the time - even after I've turned off the lights, exited the car, and locked the doors. . . . this is new. What's going on?? Has this happened with anyone...

So, my boyfriend and i went to go and hook up my ozinum LED light strips to light up the footwell on the driver and passenger sides the other day on my P5. My we tapped into my map lights for the live wire and the ground...but they won't go off when the door is closed and do not auto dim. In...

Hi all, Sorry if I'm posting a duplicate post. My wife and I just got a Black CX-9 Sport over the weekend. Overall, like the car, but there are a couple of annoyances. First of all, it was my mistake for not noticing that Sport trim doesn't have auto headlights, so that's kind of a bummer. Our...

Hey, I was looking to pick up some 3000K HID Fog Light kit. Searching was fairly useless as I pissed around without finding anything for about 5 minutes. First off, what are your thoughts on this mod? Is it an easy mod to do by yourself? And where online should I order from? Thanks.

How to wire your fogs to come on with the parking light switch... I am not responsible for you blowing fuses, setting yourself on fire, or anything that happens when you do this... I did not include the easy steps like connecting a ground wire or a power source... The parts I used... 2x 4 pin 30...

Should the dash security light (icon of car with lock on it) be blinking all the time when the car is off / locked on a Touring model, which does not have an anti-theft system? I did a search and found one old thread relevant to this, but thought I'd see if there are any other opinions. Thanks!

okay sorry, the other battery light flashing post is not the problem im having, i was just gonna piggy back off of it, but on my own post i can be more specific! ------------------- Problem: Upon mid to high RPM's my cars battery light will flash (probally for a maximum of 2 seconds, then it...

So...I'm not positive this is the right place for this thread, but I'm having a bit of a problem with my HID 3k fogs. most of the time, they work perfectly, but I noticed sometimes the passenger side ones didn't turn on.(gah) When that happens, I turn my lights on then off, and then both of them...

I have an 06'. As many of you 5'ers know, the cargo area lighting is down right whimpy, pathetic, crappy.... yadda yadda yadda.(dark) Here's the solution. As I told another member here; I wanted useful light, not going for the bling thing. I also wanted it to be as inconspicuous as possible...

Anyone know the part number, cost or aftermarket availability of those switches used on the 5? Trying to figure out the cost-to-need ratio. This is for the 2006 (clarification) These are the switches that typically work for the automatic sliding door or fog lights. Anyone know how many...

This is for some of the wiring freaks... LIKE ME. I have a 2006 5, basic sport with A/T & the 6 CD setup. No Nav & no Sat. I have successfully added some some cool LED lighting in the Cargo area ( I'll have to post that). Now I'm trying to add some up front. I am looking for a power supply...

cluster install is complete pending a few pictures... ac controls coming soon! No longer doing AMM. They want $13 per month (they really should list that on the sign up page) and I dont see it being worth it unless there are enough ppl who would be interested... lets say 5 people In this How...
