I saw it says clear side markers on the new updated mazda.ca site...does that mean they coming to Canada (N.America)?

 

[atl]

Probaly not. Still waiting for a aftermarket company to make clear or smoke sidemarkers for the 6 and 8.

 

[schulkw]

Doesn't the Protege have them?

 

[dinu01]

The Pro has them and the 3 will have them in ALL trims in Canada.

 

[atl]

Lucky bastards.

Yep, we DO have the side markers, STOCK! As well as auto-sensitive windshield wipers

[dinu01]

And auto lights too, correct?

 

[Dru212702]

what are these auto light things anyways? I'm too lazy to find it again on the site. something about getting brighter when you go in a tunnel? It cant be as crazy as my Dad's RX330 and the turning Xenon's....*Drooooooolll*

 

[dinu01]

It's called auto light control and it most likely refers to the lights turning on by themselves at night but NOT if you pass through a tunnel. So a sensor will notice this and just keep the DRLs on instead of turning the low beams on.

Any other takes?

Dru: Could you also put your location in your profile? Thanks!

Actually, when you go through a tunnel (with no sunlight) the sensor switch the lights on and turn them off when you get out of it.

today i was driving at night and i noticed that the side marker light dosent come on i guess its only the turning signal how would you make that light stay on when you put your lights on and blink with the signal also

Solder the positive wires for the front turn lamps and the side markers together.

i want to get clear sidemarkers with a clear bulb, anyone know a place to buy replacement ones which are clear....most sidemarkers can be opened up and replace the bulb....dont know y Mazda made it to replace the whole piece....

but whatever... i want clear sidemarkers with clear signal, anyone know any place to get them, or suggestions let me know...

if this has been posted i didnt find it, i searched...no luck..

 

[chadha]

well has anyone found them or what? i hate the stupid amber sidemarkers....i want clear... i dont see why mazda made it so u have to replace the whole thing, and i dont see anywhere where u can get the same size for clear, or like clear bulbs

anyone know let me know

 

[moeman949]

I would like to do this little mod. I am sure there are aftermarket sidemarkers that can be found on ebay, you just have to make sure they fit.

 

[chadha]

anyone know the dimensions that the sidemarkers would have to be in order to fit to replace the ones on the 3....without filling any gaps or doing any adjustments.... i just want a quick replacement.

 

[Sardonic_Padre]

any links to aftermarket side markers?
im looking for either a red bulb to go in there or if i had my way, a red side marker instead of the clear, i think that would look sharp.

 

[milano]
