Mazda China (FAW Haima) 2004-2010 323 /
Happin OEM kit (for 2001-2003 models):
The 3rd generation
Protegé continued to be built in China after Japanese
production
ended in 2003. All Protegé's
sold in China were produced locally by FAW Haima using
complete knockdown kits
under license from Mazda. As such, local styling and features
differed from real
Protegé's made in Japan. The car sold well (like any where)
and due to
lax safety and
emissions laws, continuing production at low cost with minor
updates
were possible. You too can make some
styling updates to your Protegé uniquely while
staying low key! Many
parts will have to be imported.
The part numbers are:
B30K-50-712 upper
grille (unique to China; style similar to early Mazda6)

Mint
Blue kit (1999-2003):
A very good quality and complete kit
for all years of the 3rd generation Protegé. Note
some of the aero parts in the kit are
meant for the 5 door/wagon which means only the
Protegé 5 can use them. The
styling of the kits can be considered more on the "bold"
side without going to a rediculous
level for most people. Use of its spoiler will mean
the removal of the stop lamp
that's part of the stock spoiler's. You can install the "non-
spoiler" version stop light behind
the hatch's glass. The part numbers are:
JDM stop light
(required due to removal of stock spoiler's): B25R-51-580A

Are there any
Altezza lights for the Mazda3?
Not exactly, but various aftermarket LED tail
lights are available. The JDM LED clear
tail lights is an alternative. They are not DOT
legal, however they produce legal red
and amber colors and are also ECE certified, making
them safe to use.
The part numbers are:
Hatchback:
B32T-51-150E outer right tail light
B32T-51-160E outer left tail light
BP4M-51-3F0C inner right tail light
BP4M-51-3G0C inner left tail light
They can also be ordered as a kit under the

Hatchback:
BN8G-51-150 outer right tail light
BN8G-51-160 outer left tail light
Sedan:
BAN7-51-150B outer right tail light
BAN7-51-160B outer left tail light
I don't like to
have any clear tail lights, nor do I want all red tail lights on
my base model
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
ECE certified, thus removing any doubts of
safety. The part numbers are:
Sedan:
BN8V-51-150E outer right tail light
BN8V-51-160E outer left tail light
BN8V-51-3F0D inner right tail light
BN8V-51-3G0D inner left tail light

BP4K-51-160E outer left tail light

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 overseas
Familia S-Wagon JDM 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 to something brighter, what should I
use?" below for a detailed
explaination.
Are there any clear corners for the
Protegé?
1st Generations
You will need to import a set of
European-spec headlights along with the JDM
clear corners. The part numbers are:
1990-1993
Protegé:
8DBS-51-030 right headlight
8DBS-51-040 left headlight
8BBM-51-060 right corner light
8BBM-51-070 left corner light
1994
Protegé & 1990-1994 323:
8DBW-51-030A
right headlight
8DBW-51-040A left
headlight
8BBM-51-060 right corner light
8BBM-51-070 left corner light
TYC also makes
surface free reflector ("crystal clear") style lights. Both
the corner and
headlights must be used.
20-6163-05 right
headlight
20-6164-05 left
headlight
18-5783-00 right
corner light
18-5784-00 left
corner light
2nd Generations
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 2001-2002 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.
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. Unfortunately, this
piece is only available in off-black. 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
