aparantly you need to have the bumper off to change the turn lamps, but i just ordered the smoked ones from rx7store.net cost 145, and since the repair shop was charging the insurance co 130 for 1 oem one from mazda it seemed like an opportune moment as they reinbursed me for it. in short though i didn't do anything. just had it done while the front end was being replaced

Product can be purchased. Dude from my local club has them on his VR and I must say they look good.

Some people are really either desperate for loose change or hate the DIY in you!

has this been done before? tint spray the stock turn lamps and use styling cues from 99 spec turnlamps.

2006 spec
