probably not the best idea. why dont you get some LED tail lights? they look better and dont cause accidents.

Tint them red. Problem solved lol
It's odd that so many people aren't fans of redding out tallights, not only is it completely legal, entirely more safe, but it just.. darn looks better than dimming the taillights.
I used vinyl, but i know on the gen2 it's an extremely difficult shape to do with vinyl, at which point for gen2 no matter what you do.. spray tint is really your only option.

I swear I saw someone on mazda3quebec the other day who had opened their gen2s tail lights to do some cool mods. Maybe I dreamed it though. I'll see if I can find it later, if I remember.

Ditto.
PS QC is finally going to catch up to the rest of north america:
Considering how they like to take peoples money at every opportunity, I'm surprised its taken this long.

I don't like redded out taillights because then there is no difference in color between the taillights and the turn signals and reverse lights, etc. It only works on some cars. The 1st gen base model sedans that had the red taillights looked terrible. It wasn't even red, it was more like dark pink.
Awesome plate. The OEM LED taillights are the best looking tails to have, they are just hard to find and at a good price hahai like my clean subtle mod. no color at all.

04-06 hatches had red brakes and amber turns and the clear reverse.
04-06 i model sedans had all red tails (which did indeed look gross, because they looked cheap)
Where the 04-06 sedans had the same red and amber tails.
But I don't care; IMO, all red taillights look pretty.
Car for car, they look far greater than any other option by comparison.

Do you think red vinyl tint over red sedan tails would look good?

I think it would, but I'm not sure about decresed visibility. I'm sure it wouldn't affect it too much.

i installed silvertips for the turn signals so there is no color at all unless i press the brakes or signal to turn.

My 04 sedan had those...Ah right, they introduced the clear ones in 06 if you got the upper models... I guess?
Otherwise we all only had this; which is why mine are red.

My '04 was the GFX GT so it had the red tail light and orange turn and clear reverse. I didn't think the LED tails came out until the sub gen '07 GT trims.
