Anyone want to spend $225.00 for a set of Catz MSC clears with the assembly? I'm itchin' to do them because these lights by far as the brightest/best I've seen in a 4" form factor and fog/driving at the same time - had them on my '99GTP and they were bright!

II-Savy,
I can do this for you:
Ship you whatever lights you would like and a finished fog light assembly. You can then remove the brackets from that and work with it however you would like. Remember, the plates are the same, the brackets are also the same (yet modified for front/back and cut down and screws as well).

I'm just glad that he didn't trade his mp5 to other cars like civic lol
Brian is a very hard working individual, he won't steer you wrong, and usually does know what is best. Remember, he has had several import cars in a very short period of time - this is what he does and what he loves.

Good morning everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that I broke the "size barrier". Get those dirty thoughts out of your head.
We are now offering 5.25" Driving Lights with 7-Color LED Halo.
The price is $135.00 and when coupled with our GENII-M assembly, the lights tuck "quite perfectly" into the lip opening (it dwarfs the assembly and there is no gaps). It looks OEM (like P5 fitment). We were able to do this because we are using the Pilot NV-362W and the way it is designed, especially with center/side mount capability provided a form-and-function fit.
We have updated our web site accordingly:
http://www.rtekimports.com/mazda/
More information on this light can be found via the manufacturer web site:
http://www.pilotautomotive.com/pilot2as2.htm
Note: The manufacturer web site is actually not correct on the size nor is it really correct with the light output. The measured actual size is close to 5 1/4" and the light output on the packaging and by looking at the lens is driving.
I am not going to put them on my car because I don't "fancy" the Angel eye rings, but I do know they work because I did take one assembly out to test fit them. The wiring connectors were also different and I didn't want to mess with it. It does work. For whomever purchases these sets, could you send me digital pictures?
Also, these lights protrude forward about 1/2" more than the PL-361W driving lights without sticking out (or about 1.5" from the outer bumper/lip edges to the face of the lens.
Here are some REAL pictures:
For those of you who put orders into me yesterday, if you are interested in upgrading to this set, you can PayPal me the difference today of $35.00 / $15.00 respectively and I will be able to ship two sets out tomorrow (Friday). Otherwise your original orders should go out between Monday-Wednesday (latest).

Brian, just to clarify. I am not up on the accent ring thing. You can choose between the 7 colors on any set of lights. Meaning all 7 colors are available for each set, no need to purchase and install different rings? You say these fit like a P5 fog, if so I would like to upgrade to this light from what I ordered. Awaiting your reply. 
Also I would be more than happy to send you pics of them installed. Say for a slight discount. lol j/k. I will send pics.

Kev, II - check your PM's.
Honestly, I would suggest these bigger lights (bigger is better).
It's your $$$, though I feel it would be worth it and all of your anal issues (II-Savy) would be gone.

Paypal sent. This takes care of my wanting Amber lense somewhat, at least it is an option for the Amber highlight. Thanks for finding these 5" lights.

The NV-362W's will look like the following PIAA 40's in my old P5:
"nice and tight" on the lip.
OMG, that sounds so funny! LOL

Would the Cat eyes be considered driving lights or fog lights? Will they fit flush, or stick out like the driving lights you have installed? I am twice as anal as everyone on this board and would need to know how these fit (flush, sticking out, recessed, etc.) before even considering ordering anything. Also, please take a picture of the fog lights from about a 45 degree angle sideways in clear daylight. I want to see what the gaps look like around the edges.
One last thing. The mazda salesman told me they got rid of fog lights for the 2003.5 because they had problems with the 2003 brakes warping and wanted better cooling to that area. There have been MANY complaints on this forum about warped brake rotors, so I am reluctantly following his story. I also have an Injen cold air intake, which sits in the fender well directly behind where these lights would install. Will installing these lights hamper the performace of the brakes or the cold air intake? If I were to install these and soon after my rotors warped, would you cover the damage? Just my concerns.

that brake thing is bulls***. The vents do nothing.
They didn't include them for two reasons
1. Cost. More Expensive wheels, lip, and they had to cut something.
2. We had mazda corporate guys say they wanted to not look like a wrx which the mp3/2003 do.
great work btw.
I have a sudden money crisis....had an accident in the house...long story. Give me some time to get some money together. How long do we have to get these things? Now I got more choice and have to decide which lights
