[WTB] EDM Protege / 323 BJ Facelift Headlights

[njaremka]

hey guys!

I am wondering if anyone over in Europe-land would like to help me source some headlights. I am in the USA, with a 2001 Protege. I would like to upgrade my headlights to EDM spec with the "city light" (or what ever it is called) I understand the EDM version also has no orange side reflector, too.

I have attached a picture of the front of my car. I would like the same style headlights, but the EDM version.

Thanks.

here you can get the part numbers,maybe you can order them directly in the us...

[njaremka]

I have tried that. No Mazda dealer in the USA has access to the European parts list, and cannot order EDM parts. :(

I have found this -

however, I would like the "power coated" look, not the chrome. (I don't need the tail lights either)ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-CONTINENTAL-LHD-headlights-Mazda-323-F-S-01-03_W0QQitemZ140023036994QQihZ004QQcategoryZ23009QQ rdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem)

well then.. order with a european dealer..btw: you dont want UK spec stuff, remember? they drive on the left side of the road and the lights are constructed to support that :ß

[njaremka]

Right, I want LHD headlights.

Can you help me out with my German?
What is the difference between these two lights (other than price) -

Am I on the right track with those?
Is there a website I can order parts from over there? (similar to OnlineMazdaParts.com)

[protege]

I have two headlights, but with the chrome inside. But you want the black ones right?

Also isn't this good then?

[njaremka]

That would be nice, but not required.

Do you have pictures of yours? Do they have the "city light" socket? (see picture)

[njaremka]

I have been looking at those ebay lights, but they aren't exactly what I wanted.

[protege]

Yes it has and also the levelingsystem.
Had them on my car for 7-8 months until I changed them in october for the ones of a 2.0 sportive.

Where does the "city light" come through on the reflector? Is that other picture with just the "city lights" on? How much do you want for them?

[protege]

The city light comes where you have the orange part.
The hole you pointed is for the levelingsystem.

I'll try and see if I can find a picture of it.
These also come with my headlights and not with the ones on ebay.

[njaremka]

The 2.0 Sportive headlights are the two beam lights, right? Do you know how I can get some of those? Also without the leveling system? That might be hard to wire up.

[protege]

Yes, you can get them at the dealer. With leveling system.
Wiring shouldn't be too tuff, there is a scheme on msprotege.
You wouldn't be so glad to hear what they cost though. About €600 for a piece!

[njaremka]

How much would you want for yours?

[protege]

100€ for both with the levelingsystem.
Have to say one is an oem mazda headlight and the other is from DEPO.
But both are still very good, like I said, changed them for my new pair :)

[njaremka]

What about shipping? Have you ever shipped anything to the big 'ol USA?

[protege]

Many times ;)
Out of the head shipping would be somewhat like 32 euro's.

Think about it.
Not rushing anyone :)

[njaremka]

I will let you know. I am checking a couple of other sources, too.

[AzteCypher]

I like the sportive lights better myself. I ended up buying some Protege 5 headlights on ebay and I'm going to eventually open them up and paint them dark grey or black on the inside to make make look like the EDM version.

[njaremka]

The only way I would go to the sportive lights would be if I could get the EDM version. The US version does not have a good light pattern. I am just having a hard time finding some.

[TStarGermany]

finding used sportive edm headlights is VERY difficult..you might have to order them at a dealer..

[protege]

I sold one, so can't offer you the deal.

EDM sportive headlights? You will only find them on an actual car or in the storage of mazda :P Everyone wants them.

[njaremka]

well, thanks guys. i'm looking again in the USA for protege5 headlights.
