Saw one on the road today and noticed that it looks like the previous year S-model tail lights with clear housing, but this time the turn signal has a clear lense as well. Brake light cover is still red though.

Pretty nice. Picture from Mazda website.

time to change out the rear blinker so its not orange

need to buy a clear/amber light... PIAA makes a good one, or a chrome bulb will do

I've been wanting too . . . my dad keeps talking me out of it! says that that its yellow for visability yada, yada, yada . . . where can i pick them up? i saw a seller on ebay selling chrome ones for the front blink, are they the same soze on the rear?
I think so but dont quote me

I bought mine at a "ricer/performance" shop

I took the bulb out ( its takes 4 seconds to take them out)
walked into the place and and said "i need a bulb that isnt sooo orange but then it blinks orange" then handed me the PIAA's...

it was pricey but i didnt want to wait for some to come in the mail and didnt know exactly the part number because i ordered some chrome ones and they didnt fit :shock: i think the seller shipped the wrong ones but he told me thats what i ordered....
Not the best pic.... but it does some work

It still blinks bright orange, but it doesnt light the housing orange when off

man your ride looks sweet! I hope in 2 years when i graduate I can trade up my MZ3 for a MS3 . . . here's to hoping and praying! I'm def going to look into it and pick up new bulbs!

Thanks . . .
^ Are you talking about the PIAA Mirror Orange bulbs?

Those are $32 w/ free shipping on cardomain, but that's still really pricey.

Yep those are the ones

Part #7440

I paid $30 at the ricer store
man $30! well it will go on the list of things to do . . . thanks for the part #
Its worth it...

especially if the orange bothers you as much as it bothers me...

look at the pics above...


much cleaner
The orange does bother me, but I'm planning on getting the 3x1-watt LED amber bulbs, since I already have resistors.
I'll still have to deal with the red reflector though :(

Ya i'm going to do this for sure ... i also plan on getting the clear or smoke rear and side refectors to finish it off . . . then it will start looking really clean! Can't wait!
