so whats the deal with the led taillgihts? i have seen them on the xenon store for 230 dollars shipped...... does anyone have thme? does the weatherstripping work on them or am i just better off stickin with stock tail lights? thanks

 

I think the deal is that they are beautiful and very bright

 

Are these for the Protege or Mazda3? I've only seen M3 ones so far ..

 

Mazda3. If there were taillights like those for the Protege5 I would have had them years ago

 

Yea for real .. me too. And here I was talking about how I need to stop modding my car in the other thread

 

Besides good looks, LED tail lights have at least two practical advantages.

1) they last a very long time. there is no filiment to burn out over time.

2) they light up a tiny fraction of a second quicker than regular bulbs. this gives the guy behind you a little bit more reaction time when you put on your brakes.

You might have noticed that many big-rig trucks use them now for these two reasons.

3) they really aren't expensive either

 

4) They're way more efficient than filament bulbs
5) They're monochromatic
