Rear tail light differences

In this image, I'm looking at the tail lights.
On mine, the reverse lights are more in the middle of two reflectors. I managed to pick up some lights that look similar to the ones in the pic. Although, the turn signal portion of the lense is quite dull compare to how it looks in the pic.
Anyhow... I was wondering what model the lenses pictured here are on, and what years. I'm curious, because i first figured these were LX lenses, but then I recently saw an LX (don't know what year) that had lenses identical to the ones on my DX. Are these j-spec lenses?

I know mazdaspeedwest has a pair that look like the ones in the pic.. Darryl, are those the stock lenses that were on the car when you bought it?


Thanks.

yup, i have those same lenses. (90-91) as in 92 i think they changed. Actually my amber parts are pretty dull now too...

although the centerpeice is J-Spec.

Dude! Where did you get a hold of the center piece?
I'd like to get something that would match the tail lenses. It doesn't look too bad right now, but it doesn't match either. :)

wait...those tail lights are from 90-91 protege? I thought you imported them from somewher eor something...wow....:D

Nah. Found out they're stock for the 90-91 Pros. :P

Now I just have to find a yard that has a Pro with this center piece. :wee:
That should be fun, as I rarely see Pros in the yards. I found one a week or two ago. I managed to get the rear tail light lenses, but when I went back two days later, someone already f'n took off the stuff I wanted (front sway bar, front/rear discs & calipers. Actually, no, they left the rear discs for some reason, now that I think about it). I can't recall if the center piece was on there either time I went to the yard. Oh well. I guess I'll have to spend $2 a day here and there to see if they ever get in a new Pro. :P

Bleh. :P

Heh. Yeah. I'm working on some flash for the pages with the Pro and Ford. I'll prolly just put something up there real quick for the meantime. :P

i wasn't too clear, but meant the original pic of Allan's car has the j-spec center peice (licesnce plate in the bumper) mine is all here-Spec with a dash of D-spec :D

and you'll never find that j-spec peice here in a junk yard...

No. I won't find a j-spec center piece in a yard, I know. I know I will find a center piece from a 90-91, like yours, in a yard somewhere, and that is what I want. I don't see paying 140 for the j-spec center piece right now, as I'm saving up to buy parts for the engine I'm building.


Thanks anyhow.
