Don't the amber inserts come out of the UK 1/2 and 1/2 ones?

I thought they could simply be removed to make them all clear...

It's not really "clear" I want in the rear as much as "translucent white"

Like IoTus

Found the tail bulbs too:

So just ask for "Red 1157 bulbs, 4 total bulbs" and they will say OK. well they did at my store...

If not, just order them from jcwhitney...

See? There is a market

So far the only place I've found for these is to do it yourself as per the thread I posted above (which also has some info on IoTus' cardomain site).

They're made by cutting and heating/bending the kind of plastic you'd find covering the neon lights in office buildings.

Notice the little clippies holding the lighting plastic to the inside of the light assemblies

not really the altezza style ive seen these led type lights that look really nice & brite but they seem to forget about the older cars mostly the RX's was gonna do the removal of the tail lenses and do the set up the guys posted here & get some LED's so that there bright red and have no prob with NYPD. As for an FB with Altezza's never seen it here in NYC atleast not a perfect fit type of deal I dont want to destroy any of the sheet metal to make lights fir in. Im not down with destroying any metal just like to hook it up for these lil custom shows. Tired of the Honda steeling the show. we refer to them as Honda slow cars jst they make alot of custom **** for those cows

Lightbulb Front lights... Euro parts

Got any friends in Europe or Japan? They ain't cheap! You buy the expensive parts and then carefully break out the amber plastic part...

Mazda Part numbers for Europe:
FA16-89-662A
FA16-89-667A

These have DOT markings on the lense...

Awesome. Just get 'em out whenever you can. I can't find a local source for the coloured bulbs... if I paypal'd a bit extra, could you get coloured bulbs and package them in with the lenses for me?

No word on inserts for the rears?
