I passed a guy on the freeway today that had the altezza style tail lights with black inner-housing. How can I get my hands on these?

maybe you saw the GT lights... I have a set...I might be getting rid of them in the near future...I noticed you're in NB...but they're for the 07s...

What are the GT lights? Do they not fit the 08's?

From what I've read and seen, the GT (Grand Touring) version of the Mazda5 had different taillights. an they be retrofit into any other model?

Not sure, but someone else here may have done it.

I did a search on the GT tail lights, and from what I saw, they just look like the normal altezza style tails. No black inner-housing

The 08 Touring and Grand Touring have LED taillights.

Here is a 2007 Grand Touring (US). Black bezel on headlights and taillights

By the way, a Mazda5 section tire and wheel fitting advertisement included (laugh)


Hi there really nice fitment guide! It has helped me find the right combo for my 5. I just wanted to add my 2 cents incase I may be able to add to the fitment guide. I ended up going with 18x7.5" RSL Ricochet (off ebay-cheap price $250 rims, $350 tires (m/b and rings) and shipping to Hawaii $900 total. I went with 225/40s, but 215 or 205 would be the better fit cus i have slight rub in rt. rear. Offset wasn't ideal at +42mm but looks nice and wouldn't be a problem if the tires were more narrow. Here are the pics. I hope u can enjoy and add to the guide. P.S. the front wheels don't really stick out beyond the fenders, it is "flush".

You are not alone :D, but they are nowhere to be seen for sale...

My guesses would be Mazda $$$, somebody with connections in Japan or tillyspeed81 once he is ready to get rid of them...
