The bulb is the back reflector.  If someone where to replace it w/a regular halogen bulb w/o the coating, they could be dangerous and deadly to oncoming traffic. _____________________________ "There is no tool you can buy that will replace experience." - Josh Mills, C.K.DeLuxe (in reply to Siber Express) Post #: 13

RE: mazda3 2008 foglights - 1/5/2008 6:02:32 PM    virgin1 Posts: 5207 Joined: 3/15/2007 Status: offline I think they look "similar" but the '07-'08's do have the rectangular fogs OE.  Sorry, I just think that these just look like a cheap copy of the '04-'06's, which as fogs leave much to be desired anyway.  I'm glad I have them vs nothing, but they do not have the best pattern or output I've seen or owned in a fog light.  What will you do if a bulb burns out in one of your others?  Is there a source for bulbs w/the tip coated? _____________________________ "There is no tool you can buy that will replace experience." - Josh Mills, C.K.DeLuxe (in reply to Siber Express) Post #: 15

Here's what an '07 3S/T sedan w/factory fogs looks like.... _____________________________ "There is no tool you can buy that will replace experience." - Josh Mills, C.K.DeLuxe (in reply to Siber Express) Post #: 17
