Search RX7 bumper lights on ebay and you'll find plenty of them for like $40-$50 shipped. That's what I did and I'm very happy with the results, perfect fit, function, and looks.

I think they look great too, I'm not sure if they're the ebay ones or not, but they look the same as the ones posted by 94touringFD

As mentioned, if RX7.com doesn't have them any longer, they are on eBay:

I bought mine from rx7.com apparently before they sold out. i got the smoked ones and then used a dark translucent paint from Oreilly's that is used to smoke tail lights after wet sanding and polishing them they came out awesome! I think the one rx7.com sells are the same as the ones on ebay or very similar however i dont mind spending a little more to give Chris and Ari my business they have been the best business i have ever dealt with PERIOD

Thanks for the tips guys I found them and bought them off ebay for $43 I'm 1000% satisfied.
I guess you cant bet the Ebay prices. I love the modern look over the old cloudy style.

Cheers

After some idiot stuffed up my brand new oem turnlamp lenses with black silicone, I decided to try these and bought the one with clear lens and black background.

Just be careful when buying these ebay turnlamps. There are three versions and it's not mentioned in some of the ads/listings.

1- Clear lens, chrome background
2- Clear lens, black background
3- Smoked lens

Although some pics not very clear looks like all three versions are pictured in this thread but from all pics in other threads, smoked and clear/chrome seems to be the more popular styles.

Yeah that was my concern but fortunatly I was able to get what I wanted black inserts and smoke lenses which I think go well with the black R1 front spoiler.

I bought mine from Jason (rx7store.net) - the old Miata gen 1 style lenses make the car look really dated and need to go

Isn't that a Spirit-R you're parked next to? What is that doing in USA? I thought you couldn't import them?

nope, just a 93 former SSM car that has all the 99 spec bits (front bumper, taillights, spoiler and recaro rz's). It got that paint job a few years ago, it's not even the factory dark grey, whatever it was called.

here's a few more pictures, and the red one isn't mine.






mine's the black one on the end

Stock Miata type lenses look like ***. You either get these or a 99 spec bumper.

Just a little update:
My brother dropped his ******* motorcycle against my car and broke the passenger side lens. so I ordered a set from the ebay link Mahjik posted. Same exact lights, DOT approved same manufacturer and part #. So for $50 they are the same awesome lights. RX7.com was charging an extra $100 on top of that. ******* ******.

I believe the lamp is from Taiwan Company Depo Auto Lamp.

Here is their catalog for RX-7 lamps. http://www.depoautolamp.com/asp/pdf/P_MZ_RX7.pdf

I bought the clear lens type and painted it with lens spray. 2+ years with no problem.

Why Purchase ?

Go Parts Store Buy NitesShades by VHT Or Lens Tint By RO

Scuff Lens With 600 Apply Tint to the Desired Darkness.

Clear, Wet Sand, I did a 2000 and 3000 Then Polished With Perfect Compound and Wax.

Lens Look Like They Came Smoked From The Factory.

I did the stock smoked lens years ago and later did the upgraded smoked turn signals. I can tell you with first hand experience, it's not the same look on the car.

The ebay DEPOT lights are priced right but fwiw one failed on my car during it's second driving season. Condensation formed inside and marks from the drips were visable. Mine were the smoked/clear variety as seen in the red car above. Maybe if they had been the dark smoked variety the drips wouldn't have been as visible.
Second set have held up a year later.
