Damn i found another nice set of tail lights for the protege! I posted a thread a while ago with a nice set but i think these ones look awesome too. does anyone have these? if so, can u post some pics (preferably daytime) of these already installed on the car? thanks. heres a comparison of the two styles. second one is the kind i want some pics of.

 

Protege King and Nato0123 has the top one.

Those bottom ones look pretty sweet.

and Protege King's is floating around somewhere. Just can't seem to find it.

 

Damn!, I like the second one

 

damn the second pair looks pretty illegal to me...

I think there is a requirement that you need your reverse lights to be white...

 

Altezzas are illegal anyway

and the Jetta and a few other cars come with all red taillights.

 

damn those second ones r nice as hell i dont care if they r illegal or not im gettin them after i get my kit on

technically, they'd still show up white. it's just everything inside is tinted red... notice the holes are showings for where the bulbs plug in. you'd still see plenty of white. now, what i want.. is a damned red bulb for the rear turn signal. and i cant find one anywhere.

 

damn everyone seems to like that second kind but nobody's got em...id definitely like to get those...

i do have some issues with both of em tho...with the first kind, i dont like the white on the bottom, i think the stock ones have that placed better
and with the second, ive got a silver pro and i was wondering if having the tailights without that white (or silver whatever) part on the tail lights would actually look better. what u guys think?

oh yeah one more thing...i remember seeing some pics from like the 2002 SEMA and i remember seeing this protege with these tailight masks that covered some of the bottom and made them look smaller...i thought it looked great and i wish mazda had done that from the beginning...but anyways, does anyone know if i can buy those masks anywhere or how i could make a good pair of em?? if i find a pic of that car ill post it.

 

Not that I'm into IS300 style lights or anything, but can you tell me how these are "illegal"?

 

I had the same problem, but I just bought some clear GE ones for like $3 at ANY auto store, and bought a jar of transparent red model paint for another $1 at a hobby store. Slap a few coats on, and voila!

I was so tired of having an all red car and yellow tickers, and I got pulled over for the white ones I had, so after looking long and hard for red ones, short of LED's that's the best I could do!

Its in the link TheMAN posted. Near the bottom of the page.

 

Maxx, you got pulled over for clear signals? Are those illegal?

 

Yes, hyper white bulbs are illegal for signals. Whether in the front or rear.
