JDM FD side marker
 

Does anyone know where i can find/buy a JDM side marker ? I mean the one for the latest FD, the light on the side fender.

I see ebay has it long time ago.....

thx S.

If you get the part number i'd try a Madza dealer.

Just for your info, that side marker is on ALL J-spec FDs. Clear ones are about $40 a set and the Orange new from the dealer is about $22 each

They come on a lot of mazdas oem nowadays. Protege 5's come with clear ones, Tributes come with amber ones.....

So, is that mean i can get it in Mazda Dealer ? or some where else ?

i bought clear side markers from the ford ranger extreme https://www.ford.com.my/vehicles/newranger/index.shtml
exact replacement.

Actually, the Mazdaspeed Protoge comes w/ the clear ones. The regular Protoge's come w/ the orange one (as to the MPV van). Go (or call) the parts dept, ask for the price of the sidemarker for the MPV van, and for the Protoge (not Mazdaspeed). Buy the one that's cheaper (they're EXACTLY the same ;) )

^ the Protege 5 also comes in clear ones too.

My friend has a P5 with oem clear sidemarkers.

Whoops...you should know, considering you were the one who gave me the head's up in that original thread! :bigthumb:

good to know that , thx very much guys.........

What do you guys think of putting a couple of led's in the side vents?

make sure that you cut the holes a bit smaller than you need to because they clip on and if they are just a little bigger they will fall out

I appreciated for all your help, and thx for all of your review and post. I actually see some SIDE MARKER in ebay but i m not sure is it the one which comparable to the 99spec'; otherwise, i need to go dealer to check it out.

Here is the one looks clear.......

thx

If these are the turn signals your talking about you can get them at Corksport. I bought them on ebay for $11.

yeah, thats what i m talking about !!!

I've got a set of the orange ones. They are used but in perfect shape.
You can have them for $40 shipped. I've decided to go with the clear ones.
PM me if interested.

We (CorkSport) have them.

Can anyone confirm if the other ones on other Mazdas are indeed the same?

These are not the same. They look like the same ones on the ATENZA we have here or know as the Mazda 3 or 6? some shite like that

Eww...what the hell are those! (The ones BlueSprite quoted from Ebay).

the_glass_man, they may not be the EXACT same (ie same part #), but from every pic I've seen, they look 99.99% identical. Also, in person, I haven't been able to notice the diff between my Mazda Protoge sidemarkers, and others' original 99specs. I think the originals don't have writing on them? Mine do... (white, embossed? from the plastic itself. Can't remember what it says...but prob DOT stuff)

I can't see Mazda making the ones for the P5 or MSP almost the same but different from the 99spec RX-7 that uses them also. I'm sure they are all the same lights.

Also, Ray at Malloy said they were the same when I called him a few days ago ;)

Hey evileagle, what is Corksport's webite address?
I was going to order the clear markers from them but the address I had was invalid.

http://www.corksport.com. Worked for me...

So, do P5, mazda 3, MPV have the same side marker as 99 spec has ? If do so, i go for the clear one.

thx S.

I dont think so. Stuff in the US is a little different then here, but as far as I remeber the FDs are only the same as the FDs.

I believe the FDs in Japan do not have to be made in 1998 to have side markers.. I have seen them on most of the eairlier models.

all JDM FDs have side markers. The three common varieties are orange (OEM), frosted white ('clear'), and clear ('crystal').

Got these from Thailand. Cost me $5. Was wondering whether I should go back to the orange OEM one. I have those too. Came with the car.
BTW when I got these from Thailand they said it was for the Miata.

Yeah as DaiOni said they all came with them.

tahmid--definatly not mazda original, but they work....hehe

It doesnt have any US model car has the same side marker as JDM FD does, because FD is just RARE, right ? In fact, i m thinking about to get sth close instant. Perhaps, i might get the latest p5 or mpv.

btw: does any one have a picture of FD which has close shoot of side marker ?

THX S.

Kinda close...

thx, it is prefect. thats what i want ................
Is it JDM fd side marker ?? or sth else ??

btw: how can you post the picture ? i did try before, but it doesnt work to me, it was saying no bigger than 100k (sizes)

thx s.

These are off a Protoge or MPV van :p: I don't remember which...it was whichever was cheaper :p:

As for the pics, yea the forum has a max size you can upload. Once you get larger than 100KB, you need to find your own website to host the pics, then click on this button above https://www.rx7club.com/plasma/editor/insertimage.gif and insert the link, and the pic will come up.

Try www.photobucket.com or www.villagephotos.com. They're both free.

thx for your infomation.

Ummm.. What did you just say?

I just call M. dealer, the side marker is asking 50.05 each. I might try recycling center or junkyard later.....

I m looking for clear, any one selling that ??

Didja call Ray Crowe @ Malloy Mazda? 1-888-533-3400

Yea they work fine (cheap copies $5). I'm switching back to the OEM ones for sure. Just need to clean it up a little.

Are these side markers surface mount or is there a recessed area on the JDM fenders?

The side markers are a surface mount from factory.

A few more questions... how is it mounted? How many holes need to be drilled? What wires would you need to splice into?

Hey Don. I dunno about OEM, but the ones we do in the US, there are no holes for drilling. You gotta cut the fender...make a cutout of the shape, then put the sidemarker in. Needless to say, DON'T try it yourself if you're not adept at these kinda things, cuz if it's even the slightest bit too wide, you're screwed lol. Oh, and I just spliced the wires to my 99spec combo lights aka turn signals.

Thanks for the info Ramy. What did you do with the front bumper side lights? Is that the wires you used?

I can take off my side marker and take a picture of the OEM holes and my OEM side markers. I can also make a template of the original hole. However, how do I send the template?

Good, i want to see the picture of how to make a hole on the fender.

BTW: does the P5 and MPV side marker is little smaller than the jdm fd side marker, when i look at the actual side marker compare with the picture of jdm fd, it looks smaller on US dm P5, mazda 3, and mpv

Yes, please post pics.

Yeah its a cutout, not a drilled hole or holes. It would be pretty easy to make a template from the side marker if you have one now

I'll do it tonight and post pics immediately. So tomorrow morning your time, you guys can see. Sorry for the delay though.

Thanks!
