My MS3 w/ 04 tailights

:
2008 Mazdaspeed 3
I swapped tailights with a fellow board member yesterday. I like the older 3 tailights better cause of the colored indicators.

old tailights :.....

to each their own, and that's awesome if you like that.
i have the gt, and got rid of my yellow bulbs to make sure all were clear in the back.
 
hey man,
the tails are actually off on '05 doesnt really matter, just thought it correct that lol
oh, and your "old" tails look great on my car... Thanks again

I am not a big fan of the orange tails myself. when I read the title of this thread I thought they were gonna be the REAL old 04 lights with the full red housing.

me too

if i had a sport i would like the older tail lights better as well...but i like the LEDs most. if you switch the amber turn signal bulb with a yellow LED setup im sure there wiould be no "yellow" look inside the housing like you'd have with the standard bulb. the problem would be the fabrication of the LEDs to get the same blinker rate and lining them up so the light is focused the same.

but then again im sure theres a website out there for replacement LED turn signal bulbs anyway. for me, radio shack ftw

i have done this...radio shack will not help you. they have neither the led bulbs, nor the resistors to get rid of hyper flash.

superbrightleds.com is the answer
 
I like how everyone likes his plates lol...

I HAD THOSE.. then went with GOT LAG (upyours) :P
 
WOW that actually does look realyl nice on red! Though I think if ALL of it was red it would look nicer (the regular light and the turn signal also) what way everything would be red on the outside, i think that would be cool. Nice work! glad to see lots of parts such as these are universal to many years of the car.

NOW if only they made lips that fit the 3 and speed3 for the rear i'd be in business :)
