Changing lights?
I want to get blue bulbs for the signal lights so were can I get some clear replacements for the rear and front signal light? Also how do you take the actual Light cover for the back lights? Ive tried prying them off but I start hearing cracking and then stop. Any one know the trick to getting them out to put a clear one? So to recap, I want blue signal lights, so I need clear Light covers to replace original ugly orange ones. Thanks guys, I love you all!!

You have to pry it open (the turn signals on the front bumper), it's just dirt that's been sealed up.
Clear Corners...let me know!
PIAA makes good bulbs, I just pit in a set of 1156 in the back up lights and it went from yucky bright yellow to bring cool blue! VERY NICE I like them so much I'll be getting more for all around the car soon!

I did try to pry it, but the whole tail light set started to crack. So that means its not supost to be pryed. I know about the side and front lights are only held by 2 screws. Where can I get the clear replacements for them all?

take out the tails, melt the glue with a hair dryer or put it in the oven, then pry it apart after the glue is soft, you'll have to use a dremel or something to cut out the old lens and then cut a clear piece for a new lens.
clear lenses on the tails look nasty IMHO, but its your taste and your car

You talking about BLUE as in LIGHT SHINES BLUE???
If so, that's basically illegal in almost every municipality in the United States.
You see, it's called "impersonating a police officer".
Please stop with the "ricer" crap - this one can get you into a LOT of trouble.

And here in Ottawa its not a big deal if I have blue signal lights. They wont pull me over for that. And I'm not a ricer. I have style, some people like it some people dont. Dont judge my style. I aske questions about how to do it, I didn't ask what do you think of the looks.

It's illegal everywhere in Ontario as well. Blue is reserved for police and snow removal vehicles...Unless you have a plow on the front of your RX-7, don't waste the money.
If you want clear replacements for the signals, you either need to buy some off of an S5, or make them yourself.
All the lights in the rear (license, brake, signal) are accessed from the INSIDE of the car.

god damn people, if he wants to paint a giant ***** on the side of his car it doesnt matter, its HIS car, not yours. stating he might get in trouble is relevant but bitching about his style is not

I did 16.269 before and now im getting 16.9-17.12. Must be cuz my 5th/6th port aren't working at all. So I have to fix that to get my 16.2 again. I'm just happy I fixed my dash lights. The damn switch wires shorted out for some reason and burnt. But its all good now I'm a pro when it comes to RX7 electricals. Thats were im good. Wow, I'm to buzzed to focus on what I'm typing right now at 3:15am EST. So ill let it go at that.
