I like the original better - the chrome look is too flashy. Black is better

A couple of questions...

Why don't they make 'em so they fit in our '93-'95 bumpers... to sell more bumpers !? And then Feed comes up with a different size than Mazda that look the same and yet don't fit... OEM part...
And with all that "Flash" and hassle they put out less light than the Original Parts .....

Sign me up I'll take 3 (1 Just in case I loose one on the highway due to poor fit)

I think the chrome is too bright. Hmm...it kind of depends on the type of light kit that you are using though.

I don't know if I like it w/ smoke colored lenses though....

Hmm.....

Doesn't match the back smoked lights. How about a gunmetal color?

Maybe it's from......... APC!! lol jk......

Well if I were to buy them I'd take them apart and custom paint the insides to whatever color I wish... Actually that would look kinda fugly since I'd have to leave the center parts chrome for obvious reasons but yeah..... IMO the actual 99 spec fog/parking light combo is the best looking one.....

I will have to agree.

It kinda makes me want to test them out, but its way to bright.

yes the bumper on the picture is genuine not replica, I guess the dark color one is still the best looking,
How about with original color but the amber lens inside make it to light smoke color? Or what is your ideal combo color?

I dunno.

I haven't seen people really modify the turn signals. Probably because they look pretty good as is. Hmm....

But w/ a smoke colored turn signal, it might be too dark. May not match/go with the color of your car.

For someone that has 99 spec lights, How difficult would it be to modify that light to have two driving lights? This is for a 2nd gen race car with a Rotary Extreme GTC nose. Also Anyone have a line on the housings themselves(no lights inside)? Looking for a more reasonable priced alternative to fill the hole in the bumper. Thanks, Carl Byck
