Hey all,

I have a 2007 Mazda 3GT. I guess i got hit in the parking lot and my left side rear reflector broke. (the one on the back bumper) I wanted to know where I could get a replacement? I can't seem to find anything on the internet. How much would it cost to replace at a dealer ship? Also.. i heard some things about smoked out ones? ANy help would be great.

Thanks
ERIC

I've only ever seen the smoked ones on eBay, and not for a while. It's just so hard to get them lit! (<<< Old joke.) There might be other places that carry them however. You might wanna check your states DOT site before installing these though as they might cause undo attention from the po-po.
There are clear ones available too, and they look really good on certain lighter colors, but tend to be too bright on other, darker colors. These too might not be thought of as legal by your local DOT. Though in Texas, you only need to have 2 rear reflectors and they MUST be red, so I've modified my rear side ones to better match the car and left the rear ones alone. No problems in over 2 years.
Though I've seen a number of sites that offer direct replacement parts, I have not seen rear or rear-side reflectors. These may just (still) be a dealer only part.
The good news is that they are easy to replace or install.
