Clear Turn Signal Mod: 2001 Mazda Protege

Take your headlight assembly completely out of the car.

Around there edge of the front clear lense there will be a bead of adhesive. Using a heat gun, melt away the adhesive, and pry away the lense. Please be careful.

Once you have the lense off, the amber reflector should be able to be heated slightly and popped out.

Clean the edges of the headlight assembly and the lense, remove any extra adhesive and clean them both with alcohol, to remove any fingerprints. They must be spotless.

Using Silicone Auto/Boat adhesive, bond the lense back to the headlight assembly and clamp them together.

Let dry for 24 hours.

This actually isn't hard, but time consuming.

And for pics of what it looks like check out here: http://www.speedoptions.com/news_hea...fault&v=4&pg=0
They have the same thing done.

 

ok let me just start by askin KINKAID..where did u get this info from...I called Wings West and asked them where did they the mp3 headlight with out the amber reflector...i was told that i was speaking with the head of new products....basically HE DIDN'T KNOW !!!!!!!!!!....he said some anything on one-time production or maybe they had someone take it out for them and he didn't know which on....WINGS WEST

 

This info is from my friend who did it on his Pro.

I only provided that link to the WW car to show what it looks like when it's done. Someone had to take out the amber lense. The lights that are in it belong to the DX/LX 2001/02 Protege's. The info I gave did NOT come from Wings West.
