Some info about NEWERAPARTS.com
 

Don't even think of buying from them the 1996-2002 Tailights for the FD3S.They
supposed to be NEW OEM but in reality they sell converted(BADLY converted to be exact) used 1993 tail lights.This is exactly what happened to me.And not only that,after some emails i exchanged with Miguel,he agreed to replace the lights so i payed the transport costs to return the goods,i waited 1 month to receive the replacement,but at the end HE SENDED ME EXACTLY THE SAME CRAPPY-USED -POORLY CONVERTED TAILIGHTS.(he just repolished them)http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forum...milies/mad.gif http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forum...milies/mad.gif .Shame on you Miguel.

I posted my story to the www.mazdarotaryclub.com(newera is vendor there),and guess what!!! They locked the thread in a couple of hours!!!!

I can't judge what went wrong (so I won't try) but at the moment their site clearly states that the lights are converted from older units (on exchange basis). They also call them "1996-20002 type OEM tail lights", but this is confusing. They are not OEM (originally equiped by manufacturer) if they have been altered (modified to look like newer ones in this case).
I guess right now, with the current website, it's quite clear what they sell, but they should leave out the OEM bits. I do not know wether the site was so clear when you ordered of course (might well be updated after the complains on the UK forum).

This is a print screen of the web page BEFORE they change the description(they changed it when i posted the thread to the mazdarotaryclub).

And here is the first email i received:

In that case they seriously screwed you up. This really does suck. I'll keep this story in mind when I need parts.

'type'

This sucks Stathi, I am really sorry... :(

Did you contact them, again? Did you ask your new (really new) part? What did they say to you?

At this price, you could get original '99 spec lights (but used!) at Greece... at least they are original!

You could actually do them under the trades description act. They've sold you goods advertised as new when they're not. That's breaking the law!

Thanks for the suggestion.Can you be more specific?I ain't gonna let this go that easily.

'Type' can be seen as "looking like", indeed. But OEM means original, so that's actually confusing the customer on purpose. And even if they get away with "type" being clear enough to describe the items as non-original (or : copies) , they still claimed it to be NEW parts, didn't they?
