RX-3 guys help me out.

This just seems way out of wack for a set of tail lights. Am I wrong or are they really that rare?

they are one of the rarest parts for a Mazda Rx-3. Yes, the price is high, but that is part of owning and old school car and to get those rare "teacup" lights.

Not to mention, most rotary parts go for damn near twice outside North America!

Yeah, I've never thought those Teacup lights look that good, so I know even if I had the cash to burn I wouldn't want them. The Savanna lights on the other hand, those are dope! I know someone on here that sold those for mucho dinero to a guy in NZ.

What is really crazy is Phil's Rotary in Australia makes copies of the Teacup lights and still wants over a grand for them. What a jerk, especially when his quality is 2nd rate at best.

Sup honcho?! Well, I don't mind the looks of the t-cups, but I wouldn't spend that kind of cheddar on them. It's nice for a change that someone on here (meaning USA) got a chance to sell and profit from some of those aussies, not all, but some that charge "Fort Knox" for alot of their parts and products. Hell, that was probably a steal of a deal for those Savanna lights, compared to their market. Who knows, he probably turned around and sold them for more.
