I was wondering if these are different headlights. I forgot who has this car, but if it is yours is this aftermarket headlights or stock. If it is stock how did you clean them so perfect. :D <P> Image

He got them from a Mazda dealer, apparently you can get brand new headlights over there for a lot cheaper.

If you got new headlights, I'd recommend using the blue plastic cleaner stuff on them regularly. I wish I would have done that from the beginning. Damn cheaply made expensively priced headlights... I WANT GLASS!!

I really like the Pak front end and was looking to buy maybe at the end of the year.<P>DVH, what kind of quality am I looking at? <P>Is it that bad of a fit that you have a gap by the headlight?

Hey DVH, you got the lights at a mazda dealership, right? Why NS? Just asking because i'm from New-brunswick, and wondering if it was cheaper there or what. Thanks.

it cant be possible!<BR>cuz all of them go from the main mazda parts plant in mississauga. and they are all the same price, no matter where you get em from. i am saying this cuz i called up 5 different dealerships like sydney, kentville and mills metro mazda and all of the toronto ones like gyro, north toronto, lakeshore and they all have the exact same price! :D :D <P>the only thing i think would be kinda possible is to make new ones, what i did was i got my headlights which i kept from the black one i had and gave em to a friend @ U of T to make an exact copy of it, from crystalate glass which is harder than the material used in the ones in europe and very shiny!! :D :D :D <P><BR>sooooo ummm thas all my research on MX3 headlights :D :D <BR>hope you enjoyed it :D <P>news from the one i am makin will be out soon!!
