    Autozone,Checkers is where i would go but i dunno if they have some for a 96 protege (if its for your g/f's car) mine was busted out when i bought it but the dealer replaced them because it had been in a wreck the mofo didint do a good job either cuz when i got home i turned it on and he didint connect it nor did he bolt the front headlight and the side one in damnit oh well. im sure they have some if not then check online or even ebay

      You can get them at almost any auto parts store. Most of the stores will special order them, and you might wait a few days. You can also try eBay. Sometimes, you can find them used, but mostly new. Also, remember that 2nd gen headlights for 1995-1996 and 1997-1998 are different.

        Well, it's not totally clear, did you mean bulbs or the headlamps themselves?

          speaking of the bulbs isint the ones that come on a 96 protege or any of the 2nd gens #9003 i think it is? because i looked at autozone and super walmart in there car center and they had all kinds except that number which is the one that i need!! and do they come in the blue color too or just the white?

            You could try a junkyard if you're just looking for the entire headlight assembly. If I would've known about the pro's in my junkyard I would have gone there for most of my parts like that.

            I asked someone at advance auto parts and they said they don't carry the bulb with the heavy blue tint. He said they were getting in trouble for them. Maybe it's just in this area. The ones I had a while back were from APC but said for off-road use only.

              i put sylvania cool blues in my car.. they have a blue tint to them.. bright as hell, but i'm gonna throw some silverstars in once i get it back..

              I wonder if the price of the OEM replacements are comparable to the JDM ones from Corksport..

                  so you do recommend the Sylvania's? because i heard from some other people around here that they were really good, and i have seen some at autozone and checkers hopefull they got the ones i need!

                          9003 = H4. . . which reminds me, I have to e-mail sylvania, one of my bulbs went out, not even a year old!

                            I was gonna say, 'No wonder you werent able to find the right bulb. Because its an H4, not 9003. "...lol
                            You can alos try looking for headlights on www.car-parts.com
                            Its the North American Online database for auto wreckers (im surprised no one else suggested it already)
