you can modify your rear bumper to make them fit possibly.

Yea you are right nuke0907 you can modify the rear bumper little bit to fit does new lights. I searched around Japanese blog websites and new back bumper goes on to our older rx-8 without any trouble.
So what I might do is that I will wait for an aftermarket body kit for the new rx-8 then buy that then buy the new tail lights

I forgot to mention, it's been done and you'll need a little more than a little work to have the tail lights fit right. You better off just buying the new 2009 rear bumper, if you want everything to fit and look like stock.

Don't know how to describe it...but...here goes...

The word "generic" comes to mind. Looks like every other Altezza's out there. At least 1st gen lights were a SLIGHTLY more unique.

Woah, I just went outside to the garage to check but yeah...looks like my sister's (2004) Mazda 6. No disrespect to the other Mazdas but come on! You got an 8, no need to confuse everyone BEHIND you, cuz that's where they'll be, no doubt. stick with the stock. It's pimp as is.

I like the body kit though and don't take offense to my opinion. I got a stock 8 without even the appearance package. Just my thoughts.
