Painted Headlights
 

I got to repair a Protege 5 this week and was able to salvage the headlights.

Left light has a mounting tab cracked
Right light had some scuffs on the lens

Well I tore them apart and had our painter paint the inside, then I put them together and installed.

I think they look great because the Mazdaspeed Splitter is black too.
Oh, and I still have my stock ones.

couple questions..
how did u take them apart? over heating, electric heat gun? or somethin different?

What paint did you use for yours?

I know there are tutorials for this but I like to know what others have done that were succesful.

That looks so cool! Looks really good on the laser blue.

BTW, I like where you put the "Zoom-Zoom" sticker:bigthumb:

I posted a how-to on our website here is the link

i was thinking of trading my p5 for something else cuz i dont think its got potential in it but after seeing ur car it changed my mind.

I too fell in love with the GHOST.... I am not that big on P5"s until i seen his.... but he went and changed his signature!!! I like the other picture better... cant wait to meet you at Spools... and i love the painted black headlights.

painted mine!
 

Well, i slaved for several hours over my headlights and finally got them painted! It looks awsome. The walkthrough was very helpful. Thanks Ghost. Although, mine was a 2003.5 P5 so there were a few things here and there throughout the walkthrough that were different for me. No biggie though, is was easy to modify your walkthrough to what i needed. Thanks again!
