Try Canzoomer, he has his own forum in the Vendor's section. I ordered the clear corners off him, he sells them for $66(Cdn) or $52(US). Best deal I found anywhere and he sells a lot of other cool parts you can only get from Japan for very good prices.

Corner colors
Are the corner colors an option? I have seen amber, clear, and some pics look more yellow. Are people changing these aftermarket, or can you pick from the dealer?

i'm a big fan of well designed amber lenses (that complement the design of the car, whilst keeping it legal).
the clear corners are wearing extremely thin on me, especially with multicoloured lights which idiots seldom use to signal anyways when changing lanes... *grumble grumble*
sorry off topic.

I'm working on a relay setup with connectors that can be easily plugged into the corner harness to provide that functionality.

Cool thanks for the info. Amber looks terrible on yellow. Looks like 60 bucks for the JDM ones. If I go with yellow that is. If I even buy an eight that is. I am so confused.
Half year models may be coming with fixed ecu, but no yellow. C6 will be unveiled in less than a month. And my MX-6 is really starting to **** me off.

I think the only color where the ambers don't look out of place on this car is the red.
On pretty much all the others, the clear corners are the way to go. Outside the US (and maybe Canada), clears are the standard lenses.
Cheapest source is at www.jt-imports.com - they cost $51 shipped.

Alot of people have installed the clear corners as well as myself and the improvement in the 8's looks are amazing. The amber on my Yellow was hideous and it wasn't but a week into owning the car that I had them ordered from jt-imports.
There is a thread out there on the installation and it helped tremendously, very simple process. Though alot of people are taking out the internal reflector which will add some time to the process but not long according to those that have done it. I chose not to take mine out and I think it looks great.

Yeah, just make sure you don't strip the plastic screws that hold the black cover in place. One of the screws on my passenger side was already stripped so it was A PAIN to get that one off. In the end, I didn't bother with it and went to another. Fortunately, there are about 4 screws up and down that thing...so I went to the very top one and then peeled away the cover.

black too (but can still look ok with clears... but then it's nearly all grey, and very boring). blue is pretty good (IMO would look worse with the clears). yellow, yes, amber sucks. red, also agree is ok. green... i have no idea how to solve that dilemma. white, they look awful.

I can vouch that the blue looks MUCH better with the clear corners. But then, blue and orange are a disgusting combo in my mind.

The yellow and orange looked even more hideous in person.
I am not sure what Mazda was thinking with giving the US amber corners. Clear looks better on any color.
