I may be in the market for some LED tail lights and was wondering where you guys/gals got yours. Quality takes priority over price atm.
Also, does anyone know how much stock ones are? (2008.5 Sedan)

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, will do but I would also entertain ideas of non OEM's too.
Just wondering what others are sporting and if they like what they have.

Do you have any pics. On and off?
What do you think of the quality?

Aftermarket is almost always lower quality. Individual or lines of leds can be affected if even a single resistor isn't sodered properly.

Make sure that if you were looking for OEM, that it is actually an OEM part and not just something made to OEM specifications.

If you are looking for these, I bought them in 2005 for about $350 + Shipping. Total cost was about $420 I think. (Off eBay)

I think the price might have gone up since then, but shop around.

I just ordered a set of these recently. Looks like price has gone down as I think I paid ~$350 for the lights and shipping. But it's around that price I guess.

The price has gone way down for those style of led tail lights. It's in the $200-250 Canadian range now depending on what style you choose.

I ran my set for 2 years without any of the leds burning out or condensation forming. They're not oem quality, but not they're not complete crap either. I'd give them a 7/10 for quality.

Decided to go the OEM route. Quality was my overall priority so I stuck with what I know won't fog up/leak.
Thanks for all the input.

Geez.. I'm having my right rear tail warranty replaced; a few of the bulbs around the bottom edge burned out. Cost is around $389 for ONE tail, excluding the reverse light.
You must have got a great deal..

$400? That seems a lil steep. Search around the forum to see what prices others have sold it for and take that path.

Incase any others are wondering whether he drives a hatch/sedan it's a sedan just checked :)

Really? There o.e.m Mazda, with reverse lights, comes with a l.e.d smoked 3rd brake light from speedlinestore, pretty sure the xenonstore sells just the the 4 pcs for 460$ plus shipping.

:OTI agree, its a good price, but this thread is about where to buy them and not what price is good. Open up another thread if you want to discuss reasonable pricing for LED tails.

Yah but the xenon store doesn't sell North American OEM, it's considered JDM I guess... the difference being an led bulb missing from the side reflector. Not sure if this bulb is a requirement in NA or not...

If you're selling the NA OEM ones then damn $400 is WAY under priced!!! I bought 2 sides (4 pieces) off flip a couple of months ago and paid in the range of $500-600. Eek!!! But wow they look ssssssooooooooooooo good. lol, money well spent.
