I bought my protege in 2000 stock. Wih the years, I added stuff which one of them included the STOCK spoiler with LED which I absoultly love and enjoy having. Now, to increase the perfection of the protege, I was wondering if the following could be done to the spoiler

Could I remove the Red covering, replace the bulbs inside to red and insert a silver/white covering glass?

the most resembling spoiler is on the Mazda 6.
the spoiler has no 'red' covering, but a 'clear/white' covering and red bulbs

Thanks in advance!!!!

p.s. please visit the cardomain site, you guys will enjoy what is in page 10....trust me!!!

 

tttt....

No body has any ideas.....

ok

 

I see what you're saying, but I've never seen it done before. I like the idea though.

 

great idea, im going to have a look now

i think i might take a look at the light tomorrow

is the red led a cover inside the light or is it all red?

 

I'm not sure. I think it is all red
but, I know it is removable, because therea are screws in there

 

what would you replace it with?

 

I would think it would be easier to replace it. Once you have the plastic covering, most LEDs that I have seen are red to begin with. Great idea.

 

as i said what would you replace it with... how are we supposed to find an exact replica on another car that is white etc etc.... or is their one already made...?

 

I don't know what we will have to replace it with
that is what i am asking about

I guess, maybe try the mazda 6 LED

or maybe somebody may custom build them just for us?

 

Is it possible you can remove the LED cover
and "bleach it"

I know that isn't the right term
but, I don't think the Mazda6 LED cover will fit
and I don't see any aftermarket for them at all
I have for the past day searching the internet
hopelessly for them

 

Hmm, maybe making a mold would do the trick and then you could form if out of some sort of plastic. I dunno, thats a toughie.

 

Might I make a suggestion? I was thinking of doing this exact same mod last year but never got around to it. I found a place on the net that sells clear lens LEDs. I tried looking for the exact size and shape with no luck. You could buy one and MAKE it fit if they don't sell our sizes(regular factory spoiler and MP3 spoiler) but if it doesn't work you've wasted your money. I guess I'll be the guinea pig and see if it works unless someone beats me to it.

In the picture they're red, don't mind that.

Here's a few pics of a guy with an Acura TL who did the swap.





This is what it looks like lit up


Hope this helps.

 

hmm, I may have to make some of these.... how many of you would be interested if I could?

 

if you can make it work then im in instantly

 

So it would be for the whole assembly including the actual leds? A rough idea of price and then I'll decide.
