where to get lights?

Ok so I am missing the driver side marker light I believe of my 89 fc... Where can I get new ones? I don't want used but if I have to I will. Also has any body got the hid kit off eBay for ur fc? Does it work well???


Thanks Jordan

Oh just to be clear incase I'm thinking of the wrong thing itsvthe light directly under the flip up headlights. I need the driver side and would rather just buy a whole new set

That didn't help.
Directly below the headlight is the FTP ("flash to pass") lens which isn't a light at all.

Post a pic.

yup its just a lens, unless you have the rare jdm ones that actually have bulbs in them which are very hard to find!!! GRRRR

you can find them on ebay but not new.. most are in good condition but again all of them are used

i have a set of H4 headlight conversion used with a "EBAY" bi xenon 6000K hid kit.. works well and really helps your vision in the night time.. not so good for other drivers due to the same reason why hids are not good at all. they blind and daze other drivers, but if you get the cheap projector H4 headlight conversion one it kinda helps but not a lot... overall they are pretty good.. makes the car look a lot nicer and IMO more modern than with oem yellowish looking bulbs.

just be careful where you mount your hid ballast and wires, away from heat and moving parts.. i had to find out the hard way when my wires and plugs got snagged when i retracted my headlights.. got stuck.. had to pry them loose..

I haven't checked lately but until about a year or so ago, you could still buy new FTP lenses from Mazda, though they were pricey ($80 each or so, if I recall correctly).
