i was thinking of something. where can you buy taillights that are "stock" but the turn signal area is red rather than orange? I've seen several MX-3s with this style light, yet never have i seen them talked about. were they just tinted? were they custom lenses? were they stock in other parts of the world? where they a year to year variation? whats the deal? if you don't know the lights i'm talking about, jademx3's got them...sorry for the stupidly lengthy post :)

Perry you are sooo cooool. But they do look good like that. From what I can imagine, I think only red and amber are legal for turns and brakes.

Those Black tail lights, do all of them have the little ridges in them? or can you get them just flat? and if they all come with the ridges, is it possible to remove the clear plastic and use like, bondo or something to smooth it out? Kind of a dumb question, i know, but i was just curious because my friends mazda 3 has the black tail lights and they look good without those little ridges in them.

The only three available are the silver, black or carbon ones. But from there you can do other things.

I hope this guy dosent mind me posting a pic of what hes done. I think he did a real good job of it too, I think its a one off.
