Cracked tailight lense

[sru]

I have a crack in my tailight lense in my 2008 GT sedan. Can I replace the lense only or do I have to replace the entire unit?

[Thrizzl3]

the entire unit

thanks Phil..

Is there somewhere I can get an aftermarket unit to match the oem, or do i just buy an oem from a dealer.

i'm new to this.

thanks again.

Dealer only. Those lights are expensive. Many members on here want the LEDs but the only source is from the dealer.

You'll have to buy them OEM from a dealer... unless you want to replace both tail lights with the aftermarket version, check out Nextmod in the sponsor section to see some pics of what they look like.

Otherwise, contact Joe (FLIPDADY) at MOT, he can probably order you a replacement light for a decent price.



EDIT: oops sorry soyabean didn't see your post :chuckle

You may want to try the bone yard (wreckers) as well may be a hellova lot cheaper then dealer

^ ahh yes forgot about that option :chuckle

Before I bought mine I went to www.car-part.com (http://car-part.com/) and found a couple of sets at Carcone's (http://www.carcone.com/).

could take a risk on ebay too lol
but i would suggest one of the sponsors like nextmod

Thats what i was afraid of. Time to start making some calls.

Thanks all.

What about going to a junk yard? There is always crashed Mazda's in there. I know because I have been looking for the same LED tail lights for mine :P

Two scrapyards thought they them in stock, turned out to be non LED.

I have orderedd an OEM unit. I Contacted Flipdady, who is taking care of me nicely. ;-}

How much are you paying for it? i know a supplier where some dealers get their parts from(allot of ford dealers go here as i always see one of their trucks picking up parts)

i asked the guy he said T/LMP RH 07-09 MAZDA3 SDN for 300$(approx)
