yep the mx-3 are the same as the miata sides - these will work:

You guys are amazing. Thank you VERY much.

I actually was gonna ask if any other car would fit the MX-3 if I never got a response here. Thank you again!

Actually I still have a question. Since ths side markers from a miata works, do the bumper markers fit too:?:

NO they will not work... the front signals are mx-3 specific...

just a heads up, my miata clear sides don't fit perfectly. There is a difference in the contours of the bumpers between the cars, so the markers stick out a bit at either the top or bottom, depening on how you install it.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure it's not really that noticeable unless you're stare at it right? Or can you actually notice that it sticks out from afar.

That's only on the rear bumper right (that's a known problem with these)? I installed mine upside down in the rear so they don't stick out on top but rather on the bottom (if that makes sense)... I've never had an issue on the fronts... :shrug:

no :D

we have those "clear" ebay bumper lights in our cars from stock :) so when you buy an mx3 in Germany, the "clear" bumper lights are always mounted.

i think the orange ones exist only in us and uk.

and i wanted crystal clear glass, not just white transparent :)

so I'm confused as to what you mean by "crystal clear glass, not just white transparent"... Are you talking about a clear lense cover with no ripples or refractors? Are you saying there is another variation that looks like clear glass? :o :shock:

As far as I know there are only 4 variations of the front signal lights for the mx-3 and they are all plastic with the distorted plastic (not crystal like):

JDM - all orange with 2 sockets
USDM - all orange with 1 main socket
EDM - all clear with 2 sockets
UK - All clear with 2 sockets, but there is an internal orange cap over the main socket
