I would like to modify a pair of clear Mazda5 taillights with LEDs.

I have some spare red "european" taillights and wanted to know if anybody might be interested in swapping them with the clear ones that were standard on the pre facelift US models?
As far as I know they are not available in the US. If you have a red Mazda5, they might be an option.

I have a pair of stock 07 clear tail lights...unfortunately they are mismatch...one is the GT with black housing, the other is standard chrome...if you're opening them up anyways to add LEDs you could paint them to match...let me know if you're interested, I am in California US though..PM me your postal code, and I could let you know the price for shipping....

I still have them. If you are interested.
Shipping to Germany is ~65 USD.

I would send you mine first you can swap and send yours to me.

By the way. Of course the European Taillights don't have side marks (or corner lights?) as shown below on the facelift LEDs.

Not sure if they are mandatory in Canada. In the US I think they are.
