    97-01 Mirage Headlight COnversion

    Does anybody know how to convert the 97-01 Mirage Halo Headlights over to work on a 90-94 Protege? Besides having to get a 94 hood, How do you go from a single hi/low headlight to two individual headlights?

    this actually looks like a pretty sexy mod, i was thinking of ripping an HID system from a luxury car, but this looks easier and good too.

        without using the 94 hood there's going to be a noticable gap(triangle from the hood,grill and headlights)

          all you need is a few pieces of wire. the ground is common and then seperate the low beam and high beam wires and route accordingly.
          This is our quest; as the tail lights fade into the distance let it not be the jeers of others that say we can not do what others have, but to let the whistle of the bov the whine of our turbo and the roar of our exhaust announce to those who may say it can not be done that we will not go quietly into the night we will not bow to mainstream but rather blow by them doing mach speed laughing our asses off and giving them the one sure sign( ) so that they will understand their place in life when it comes to doubting a driven individual who owns a Mazda BG with a boosted BP

                  correct. If you use the jdm/edm corners you'll have to mod the grill. Basically cut it shorter.

                    what about the jdm grill is it shorter?
                    or would it need cut as well?

                      nope it's the same size, (take a look at my sig that's a JDM grill with stock lights) the JDM/EDM lights are not as wide as the DOT lights.

                          Hey,
                          I did the swap on my car. Not hard to do, Just have to be patient. Looks good in the end. I also have an HID kit hooked up aswell and its bright as hell. I get BMW's and others flashing me all the time. I even had a guy drive into a pole on the side of the road because he couldn't see the road. Don't worry the guy was ok. Recomended swap especially with the HID kit.

                              They have been aligned many times, But I still get the same result. They are just that bright I guess. I will take a picture and post later.
