These video are hard to see the real effect because of my camera. Longer Base H7 Bulb Socket Retainer Holder Adapters, Compatible with Mazda 3 5 6 MX-5 CX-7 RX-8 Protege5, etc: Headlight Bulb. No fun.ĭiffuser lenses (very important for the full ring of light look instead of individual LEDsīlue angel eyes (Both 60mm and 80mm to fit inside white) (DO NOT USE DIFFUSER LENS) I NEVER want to take the headlight housings apart again. ![]() I added the blues just so I have options in the future lol. Gives a rather unique look too but I still prefer only white. Now obviously only blue will attract the po-po so that is for "offroad use only" ,however, the blue/white together doesn't seem to bother them. I also set up a set of relays and circuitry so I can choose between only blue, blue and white, or only white. I originally had only white angel eyes but just recently I redid the project and added an inner blue angel eye. Cops around here (IN) don't seem to mind that I am not using my headlights.īelow are the application photos. I have actually driven on pitch black roads with just the angel eyes and fog lights (which I aimed up a bit). This means at night I can actually drive with the angel eyes on and the headlights off. The fun comes at night because the intermediate ticker on the headlight switch is for parking lights only. And yes, they actually are visible in the daylight. This is sold as a set to do a complete conversion for a single vehicle. I did this so the angel eyes are on 100% of the time. The Harnessed Performance headlight conversion kit allows you to effortlessly swap sedan style headlight housings that utilize a dual filament bulb into your Protege5. The angel eyes are all wired into the parking lights. Follow the simple step-by-step instructions: 1) Park the 2002 Mazda Protege on an even surface and turn off the ignition. Total price of the project is only around $60. I ordered some relatively inexpensive angel eye SMD LED boards from online and fitted them in the headlight housing. In my opinion, this is one of my more fun/rewarding projects I have done. ![]() All that means is I have some catching up to do on reporting out on some of my projects I have done in the last year. First job out of college is to blame for me not having the time to participate. Press the inner part with a finger tip.running it around the new bulb to make sure it is all the way down and won't interfere with the connector.I am ashamed to admit that I have had my R now for a whole year and contributed almost nothing to the forums. If it's a real pain you may not have the bulb in correctly.ħ) replace the rubber gasket. The bottom (towards the ground) is shaped a little different.Ħ) replace the clip. Use the same orientation the old bulb was in. Take it off the old bulb and put it on the new bulb.without touching the new bulb glass.ĥ) put the new bulb in. It's on a hinge, so pull it out of the way as far as possible.Ĥ) now take the bulb out. ![]() Push on the looped part and slide it down a little. It just slides on and off.ģ) now see a strange little metal clip. This will help later.Ģ) peel back the rubber gasket. The (probably white) connector pulls straight back without any latch or clip. ![]() These directions are for the much more annoying low beams.ġ) unplug the headlight. By the way, the high beam is simple, it just twists and pulls out. I think this wins the prize for one of the most annoying headlight replacements I've ever tried. do not remove any screws, I did and it took 2 hours to fix it oil from you skin is not good for them. remember not to touch new halogen bulbs with your bare hands. The low beam bulb replacement was a pain, I tried about ten times to get that clip secured, finally it just went on.
