ok first off I may be blind but I didn't see a newbie section so I'll create this thread here for me.

I am relatively new to the Mazda scene having just recently switched from Honda Civics to my 2005 Mazda 3s sedan 2 questions right out of the gate. (yes I know about the search feature but it is late here so I just figured I would ask instead of taking another 3 hours tonight to look )

1st off the Axela vs the 3 what are the differences or is it just the badging?
2nd off I have seen some later model 3s running around with strictly red tail lights instead of the euro tails that mine have. are they interchangeable?

thanks in advance and please don't flame too hard on me for not using the search. I promise in the future I will

2nd off... the tail lights should be interchangable, they won't change connectors between models since it costs more to have multiple wiring harnesses put into different vehicle trim levles.
I think how the sequence goes is the 'red' tail lights were from 04 to 07 on base models. 07 GT has euro stule, and 08 and later are all euro.....
