Hey, I’m looking for someone to help me out. I have a 2011 Mazda 3 hatch (BL) 2.5l and im looking to get the euro rear fog light. I haven’t been able to find anyone who can get the part for me here in the US.

I will gladly pay for the parts, the shipping, your time/efforts and cover paypal/conversion fees.

I AM a real person, you can add me on facebook – facebook.com/OGLuc1f3r and I do really want this part.

Thanks guys!

Do a search for Dr.AK threads. He's been helping people out with parts, otherwise I could do it for you if you just let me know what it is etc

I may need this reversed, company won't ship wheels to the UK but then you can't buy them over here.

Stinkinrich, what part of Florida are you coming to? I’m in Clearwater (Tampa area) if you’ll be within a few hour drive of this area that would definitely be the cleanest option.

I’m looking for the rear fog light for a 2010+ Mazda 3 hatch. I also need the socket/wiring that goes with it.

Like I said I’ll cover all costs:
Light
Harness
Shipping
+20% for your efforts

(Stinkin, if you can hand deliver it then ill give you the shipping fees also.)

If anyone can just post up the part numbers that would be awesome too. Ive tried using proxies to surf the eruo web but cant find a parts list for the US car not to mention the UK version.

Thanks guys!

Blue car US, black car UK.

On the left side I have the clear triangle, it is a back up light (there are 2, one on each side)
On the UK version the left side is red and used as a rear facing fog light while the right side remains a back up lamp.

Im looking for the red one.

once we find the part ill gladly pay you for it. and ill give you the extra money when we meet just so I have some kind of assurance ill receive the part. Ill either give you US money or I can paypal you when we meet if youd prefer a local currency.

Orlando is absolutely within my driving reason, hope this works out. Thank you so much!

no, above it.
above the "3" looks clear with a red center (on the right side of the 2 lights side by side.)

I know you understand but ill over explain it just to triple check. :)

There are 6 lights on the rear of the car.

Two are very low to the ground and are just reflectors (you circled one)
There are 2 on the car body, they are the brake lights/turn signals.
There are 2 on the boot (we call it a hatch) on the left side (in the UK) it is a red light [rear facing fog light] and on the right side it is a clear light [reverse light]

I am after the rear facing fog light, the red light on the boot (hatch)

Funny you want to do this mod, most UK Ford Focus owners get the US style rear fog lights to make them both clear rather than having 1 red lol

Always the case of wanting what you don't have.

That’s exactly it, it’s a part to make people say WTF.

Could you not just laminx or paint it to look the same? Would be a fuck load cheaper/easier if you could

Ok so I went to my local Mazda yesterday, the douche behind the desk wanted reg number and chassi numbers etc but basically i told him to stfu and said why does it matter what reg i give you, i could give you a reg from your forecourt and then one from a car in a car parpark and it still would give you the same part number ballsack. Its just a 2011 mazda 3 whats so fucking hard? So yh hes given me part numbers for three variants of foglamp and prices. I can scan it all in for you no worries, got an email? :)

Yeah it's the same system for breaker yards here aswell, they ask for a reg or they won't/can't find the part. I was like wtf I don't have that car I just want a part from it, you want me to find one on the street and get the reg or something?

thats so odd, over here they dont care if you own the car or not but i guess we do have the reputation of being greedier people so they just want to make the money.

my email is Luci [at] theurbansniper [dot] com
