This may have already been answered -

Could someone explain the differences / how many different types of taillights there are on the Mazda3s?

I have a 2005 GS - with the red tail lights. I read that the 07 GT tail lights are highly sought after.

Is it mainly just red / clear with the coloured lens and clear with LED? I've also heard "hannabi" style as well.

Are "chrome-dipped" tail lights stock, or do you guys have to get that done aftermarket?

This has been covered.....many times

There are all red tails on 2.0 sedans from 04 - 06
Clear with red brake and orange signals on 04 - 06 2.3 models
Clear with red brake and clear signals on 07+ models
LED on 06 GT hatches and all 07+ GT models (these are the desirable ones)

I would post pictures but since it's been covered so many times.

Chromed dipped usually refers to the turn signals cleaning up the amber look of the turn signals.
