Protege5 Headlights
I've been looking for a set of P5 headlights with wiring harness to replace my sedan ones.
I can't seem to find them anywhere. All I can find are sedan ones, or those black cornered sedan ones.
I have a set of black sedan headlights that I'm willing to trade, but could only send them out after I got yours (daily driver, can't have it out of commision).
Anyone have some for sale, or at least a link to buy them (with harness)?

There's no such thing as 'with harness'.. the P5 just has a different harness (not detachable like the tail light harness is). You'll have to cut off your harness and solder on a Protege5 harness.. or you can just use your existing harness, without modification, and just have no high beams at all until you re-wire stuff.

definitely. I'm not sure how much of the harness would be needed though.
I know drock_240 (name might not be exactly like that) from imazda.com has a totalled Protege5 in his posession.. I'm not sure what kind of damage was done to it though, but I know people are snagging parts off of it (I think he was planning interior conversion)

What all do you need? The harness for the low beam is the same but one wire is removed and the high beem harness would need to be added.
I am not sure how you would re-wire it but I have two high beam harnesses and two P5 headlights. Both in great condition minus one clip that broke during removal.
I have the MSP headlight conversion rewired to one hi/low bulb.
pretty much the opposite of what you are trying to do.
Mine is the silver one.

Have 2003 P5 with 103K miles. Drive with headlights on low beam day & night for safety. Very often (and seems to be getting more frequent - every few months) I have to replace at least 1 low beam headlight. Have replaced at least 1 maybe 8 times. Is there some recall, service posting, or simply a suggestion to what might fix this.
I have had little other problems with car. Thank you

Check www.nhtsa.gov (assuming you're from the states until you say otherwise), it's listed there.

Hey DieHonda, I tryed to PM you a few times, not sure if it's broken with the site's downtime. Figured I'd ask here; I'm ready to send the payment for the lights + harnesses.
Just need to know an amount and paypal addy. My postal code is t8a3z3 if you need it. Thanks man!
