Mazda3, what can I do?
    You can use the JDM 20C/15F tail lights which uses the red decor, however the turn
    signal lenss are tinted pink instead of red, thus they emit amber color when they are
    used. They are not DOT legal, however nobody will ever notice and they are

I like the Protegé 5's dual headlamps, will it fit into my Protegé?
    Yes, they will fit into a 2001 Protegé as a direct bolt on. If you have
    a 1999-2000, you will have to get the JDM Familia S-Wagon Sport20 lamps.
    A new wiring harness or modifications to the existing wiring harness will
    be required.

I want to get JDM headlights for my Protegé. Where can I get them?
    You should get European spec headlights instead, which look the same but are
    completely safe compared to the JDM headlights. Read "I want to upgrade my
    headlights with something brighter, what should I use?" below for a detailed
    explanation.

     You can import JDM corners for the 1997-1998 models and they fit perfectly.
     The part numbers are:
       B21S-51-060D right corner light
       B21S-51-070D left corner light
    3rd Generations
     You can import JDM corners or get aftermarket ones if you have a 1999-2000
     model.
     The part numbers are:
        B25D-51-060B right corner light
        B25D-51-070B left corner light
     If you have a 2001-2003 model, please read below.


Are there any clear corners for my 2001-2003 Protegé?
    Since the 2001 headlights are 1 piece, you will need to replace the entire
    headlight. Aftermarket headlights are available, but better quality European
    spec headlights can be imported for the proper "diamond corner" appearance.
    The part numbers are:
      BL4D-51-0K0D right headlight (chrome housing)
      BL4D-51-0L0D left headlight (chrome housing)
      BL4G-51-0K0 right headlight (black housing)
      BL4G-51-0L0 left headlight (black housing)

I want JDM side markers, where do I get them?
    Since the MP3 have the side markers standard, you can get them in amber 
    color easily from any Mazda dealer. They will run you about $50 for a pair.
    The part number is B01W-51-120. If you want to have clear sidemarkers,
    you can also get the sidemarkers from the 2002.5-2003 models. They are also
    about $50 for a pair. The part number is B33P-51-120.

What is the factory location for the side markers?
    These measurements applies to all 3rd generation Protegés. Measurements are
    in metric form for increased accuracy and detail.

    There is a fender crease, starting from there to the top center edge of the
    side marker is 4.8-4.9cm (to the center of the light it is 6.75cm).
    From the edge of the fender where the door is, it is 9.15cm to the side
    center edge of the sidemarker (14cm to the center of the light).

I want some color matching mirrors for my Protegé. What options do I have?
    You can either get aftermarket mirrors, use the OEM ones or import JDM ones.
    There isn't really any aftermarket Protegé mirrors, however some aftermarket
    Civic mirrors may fit. Some of the aftermarket mirrors are only manually
    controlled also. For JDM mirrors, you will need to modify your wiring
    harness and get the JDM mirror switch because JDM mirrors have motorized
    folding function.

    If you want to stick with OEM mirrors, this is what you can do:
     For 1st generations:
      Your best bet is to go to a junk yard and find a pair
      of LX mirrors that matches your car's color.

     For 2nd generations:
       Your only choice is to have the mirrors painted (be sure to use the standard
      automotive painting process!) or import a set of European spec mirrors. To
      achieve a factory look, first pay attention to your mirrors carefully.
      For 1995-1996 models:
       Notice how your mirror is three piece. One is the base, the other is the acutal
       mirror assembly with a large front plastic piece attached to it. Remove this large
       front plastic piece with instructions from a workshop manual, or tape up the base.
       Then sand down this large front plastic piece to smooth it out and then you can
       paint it.
      For 1997-1998 models:
       Notice the front of the mirror (the side with all plastic) has another thin
       plastic piece attached to the actual mirror assembly. You should be able to
        see the hairline gap where the attachment meets flush with the mirror
       assembly. Remove the mirror glass or tilt it far enough and you should see four
       (or so) clips at each corner at the inner back side of the mirror. Push the clips to
       remove the front mirror garnish. Have your body shop sand down that front mirror
       garnish and paint only that piece. Alternatively, you can have your body shop cover
       up the whole mirror assembly except that garnish attachment section and have that
       painted.
      Following what is described should have something that looks like the overseas
      323/Familia's mirrors.

     For 3rd generations:
       The most economical choice is to get new OEM colored
       mirrors from your dealer. If they do not have the right color, then your
       only choice is to have a body shop paint your existing ones for you. 
      Having a body shop paint the mirrors for you will most likely be more
      expensive.

      2006 Taiwan/China-spec OEM mirrors with LED turn signals could also be imported.
      The part numbers are:
        BJ4C-69-120F-W2 right mirror with LED signal (unpainted)
        BJ4C-69-180E-W2 left mirror with LED signal (unpainted)

      Or if LED turn signals are not desired, general market power folding mirrors can be
      imported. The part numbers are:
        BK2H-69-120B-xx right mirror (where xx = color code; use touch up paint code #)
        BK2H-69-180B-xx left mirror (where xx = color code; use touch up paint code #)
      Both types of  mirrors have the power folding feature and convex glass for high
      visibility. You will also need to change the mirror switch and door switch trim panel
      for the folding feature to function.
      The part numbers are:
        G14H-66-600 mirror switch
        BM8W-68-4L6-25 silver switch panel trim
        Or:
        BK2H-68-4L6-xx textured switch panel trim (where xx = color code,
                                                                                  05=gray, 65=black, 80=beige)

I have seen some pictures of the Familia and it has chrome mirrors. Where can I get
these?
    They are available as a dealer option in Asian and European markets for 3rd
    generation Protegé's. They require the original mirrors to be color matching for this
    addon to work. The part number is B21M-V3-650. Adding the chrome piece will
    require the removal of the body color mirror garnish and snapping on the chrome
    garnish. Check with an importer such as Cork Sport to see if they will import a pair
    for you. This addon may also work for the 97-98 Protegé's.

The stock mirrors suck! They don't offer enough visibility to cover the blind spots!
Is there a way to fix this?
    US, Canadian, and Australian vehicle regulations prevented Mazda from equipping
    their cars in these three countries with convex driver side mirrors due to their
    concerns that convex mirrors will cause drivers to not able to judge distances
    of objects behind the car correctly. Thus, driver side mirrors in these countries are
    flat and limit the field of view. You can illegally at your own risk, import mirrors
    from Europe, Japan, or other countries which are convex and add visibility to your
    car. European spec mirrors for later 2nd generation Protegé's and newer cars are
    the best because they have an aspheric outer portion on the driver side convex
    mirror to further reduce blind spots, to nearly none at all! Passenger side mirrors do
    not have a warning label etched on the glass, thus can arguably eliminate
    distraction from the mirror and offer a cleaner look. Keep in mind these mirrors are
    not approved or certified for legal use in USA, Canada, and Australia. Use at your
    own risk! They are however, certified legal by UNECE (in Europe) and JIS (in
    Japan), assuring high reliability, durability, and safety. Remember because these
    are convex mirrors, objects are closer than they appear in the mirrors!

    Here are a list of part numbers for you to upgrade your existing stock mirrors.
    They are for the glass only! Please refer to the shop manual for replacement
    instructions.

I have trouble judging distances with my passenger side mirror, is there a solution?
    Due to the fact that passenger side mirrors are convex, objects in mirror's image are
    distorted and accurate distance judgement becomes impaired. You can solve this
    problem by changing your passenger side mirror glass with a flat mirror. Worldwide
    vehicle regulations permit the use of flat mirrors, which means this modification is
    completely legal! You will need to import the flat mirror glass from the US, Canada,
    or Australia, depending on which side your steering wheel is located in your car.
   
    The mirror glass you need for your passenger side mirror is actually a driver side
    mirror glass from the country you import from. For example, if you are in USA or
    Canada, you will need to import an Australia driver side mirror. For Australians, you
    will import a driver side mirror from USA or Canada.

    For other countries where both side mirrors are convex, you will need to replace both
    mirror glasses. For reasons of simplification, only passenger side mirrors for the
    corresponding steering wheel sides are shown. For countries other than USA,
    Canada, and Australia, use part numbers from both the RHD and LHD listings for
    your corresponding model.

    Here are the part numbers for the mirrors. They are for the glass only!
    Please refer to the shop manual for replacement instructions.

I installed a spoiler that has a 3rd brake light built in. Is it possible to remove the
original 3rd brake light inside the car?
    Yes, you can remove the original 3rd brake light that is mounted behind the
    rear glass. You will need to get a plastic cover from your dealer to cover up
    the hole that will be created. The part number is B25F-V4-923, which is in off-black
    color. Another part number for this cover is from the MazdaSpeed Protegé, which is
    BP7H-68-392-xx (where xx = color code; 05=gray, 65=black, 80=beige).
    Alternatively, you can find an ES at a junk yard and get the whole plastic deck piece
    that goes behind the back seats. The ES comes with a spoiler from the factory, so
    there is no 3rd brake light at the rear window. Because of this, the rear deck
    (between the rear glass and back seats) is completely flat (other than the speakers)
    offering a clean look.

I want to upgrade my headlights with something brighter, what should I use?
    There are many aftermarket light bulbs available out there, but a lot of them have
    issues (legal or quality or lighting output). It is very easy to fall victim to hype and
    marketing ploys by light bulb companies. Daniel Stern has done the homework for
    us and was very nice to make a very nice page of everything you will ever want to
    know about automobile light bulbs. Whether you are a nerd or just a casual person
    wanting to find what is the best for you, his page has all that information in a easy
    to read manner. Please go to: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/bulbs.html
    European spec headlights are recommended for a proper high performance
    headlight upgrade and enhanced styling appearance. The reason for European spec
    headlights over JDM ones is because of the fact that the headlights are designed to
    be used with traffic driving on the right side of the road (they are designed to have
    biased light towards the curb side of the road). People in Japan drive on the
    "wrong" side of the road! Because of this, it is actually very unsafe to drive around
    with JDM headlights. The Protegé European spec headlights actually look
    the same as the JDM ones, so there should be no worries about asthetics. The 1st
    and 2nd generation European spec headlights are actually made of glass, so in
    otherwords they will never fade to a moldy yellow. If you want to buy these
    European spec headlights, you will encounter difficulty-- especially when looking
    for used/junk yard pieces. Buying them new will be easier with the help of a
    Japanese car European spec headlight part number page I have setup.

I would like to upgrade my wiper blades to the same aerodynamic blades the CX-5 uses,
is this possible?
   The new CX-5 has sleek plastic frame wiper blades that reduces wind noise, wind
   resistance, and allows greater wiping force at highway speeds. These wiper blades also use
   a unique graphite coated rubber compound which reduces streaking and chattering,
   especially when a hydrophobic glass coating treatment has been applied (such as Rain-X or
   Aquapel). This special rubber compound also increases durability of the rubber so that 3-5
   years life expectancy is expected as opposed to 6-12 months with conventional wiper
   blades using natural rubber compounds. The CX-5 blades aren't directly interchangeable
   with the Protegé unfortunately, but Denso does sell (made by NWB) the same style of
   blades as an aftermarket product.
   The Denso USA aftermarket part numbers are:
      160-3118 18" (450mm) passenger side blade (1990-1998 Protegé's)
      160-3119 19" (475mm) passenger side blade (1999-2014 Protegé's and Mazda3's)
      160-3121 21" (525mm) driver side blade (1990-2009 Protegé's and Mazda3's)
      160-3124 24" (600mm) driver side blade (2010-2014 Mazda3's)
    For the 24" (600mm) wiper blade, you may use the GH Mazda6 wiper blade if you want:
      GS3L-67-330A
   The Denso Europe aftermarket part numbers are:
      DU-045L 18" (450mm) passenger side blade (1990-1998 LHD 323's)
      DU-045R 18" (450mm) passenger side blade (1990-1998 RHD 323's)

    However, if you prefer to have frameless wiper blades that are used in the European
    Mazda3, Denso USA also sells wiper blades in that style. The part numbers are:
      161-1318 18" (450mm) passenger side blade (1990-1998 Protegé's)

      161-1324 24" (600mm) driver side blade (2010-2014 Mazda3's)
    The blades do not have replaceable rubbers. The entire blade must be replaced each
    time, which could become costly!
    If you are in Europe, you can order a retrofit kit from the Volkswagen dealership
    meant for the Golf. It comes as a set of Bosch AeroTwin 19" (475mm) and 21"
    (525mm) wiper blades. The part number is 1J0 998 002B and are for LHD cars. They
    are also available as aftermarket Bosch under item number AR533S. For the 18"
    (450mm) and 21" (525mm) kit, the item number is AR531S. For the 19" (475mm)
    and 24" (600mm) kit, the item number is AR607S. Bosch AeroTwin wiper blades are
    stock on the European 1st generation Mazda3. It is possible to replace the rubber by
    pulling the end caps off.
