Hey guys-

Does anyone make smoked side markers or smoked rear reflectors for the mazda 3? I believe they will fit the 5 no?

The 2004-2008 Mazda3 ones *look* exactly the same as the 2006-2008 Mazda5 ones so I would not think they should be any different.

My options would be:

• Check on ebay some for Mazda3. I've seen also the LED ones
• Post in the Mazda3 or MazdaSpeed3 area to check what is in there or
• in the Forum Vendors' Area.

To any of those, just ask the seller if they are the same for the Mazda5, just to make sure...

Hi guys , i got mine done this summer. Like coolmazda5 said, look at ebay under Mazda3 side markers.They are the same. Don't forget that our 5 is a copy of the 3.

Antenna
air filter
coil springs
are all the same as a 3 and much much more...

Thanks guys. I'm not interested in LED side markers. Just want the same as stock, only smoked.

VHT Nite-Shades is the spray used:

Thanks coolmazda! That actually looks pretty good. I wonder if you could do the tailights as well? I know that's always risky...but I'm guessing with that paint you could easily get it off with some thinner...

I know a few people who have done it and it turned out really well. I also know a guy who used the stuff from Hobby Lobby and it is entirely too dark, I almost rear ended him because I couldn't tell he was on the brakes during the day light. I'm planing on doing this with the VHT!

^^ Yeah I've seen it posted earlier. For taillights I'll keep the smoke effect very light, not worth the risk...

Well... does it worth the risk to smoked the tail lights... here are the pictures of my Mazda5... Everybody I know love it... except my mom worry about I will get a ticket for it... other then that... it is the best $150 I spend on my Mazda5...

it will look even better if your Mazda5 is darker color... remember to change the brake light to LED.
