Too bad they don't sell it as an upgrade from standard bulb. It probably will cause hyper-flashing in cars using standard bulbs. That's why it's cheaper.

I have seen a few other members do this upgrade. The Brake light is changed to LED but the turn signal is still a bulb so no hyper-flash should occur. The seller is just covering his own ass because Mazda doesn't want you to put LED tails on a standard bulb socket in case there is an electrical issue. I think you would be fine.

Default Amazon LED Hatchback pair tail lights $282 ????

Anyone ever end up trying these out?
I found these for $143 each with free shipping on ebay wondering how close to oem quality they are.....

Depo Right Side Replacement Tail Lamp ASY 10-11 Mazda 3 (Hatchback) BBN851150D
Depo Driver Side Replacement Tail Lamp ASY 10-11 Mazda 3 (Hatchback) BBN851160D

So then I searched the internet with the same part number as the lights listed on ebay and the pair of tail lights are even listed on Amazon for $282 for both which is the cheapest I could find anywhere from a seller named AutoHalo......
http://www.amazon.com/Hatchback-Driver-Passenger-Replacement-Lights/dp/B008OZO7Q6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348286019&sr=8-1&keywords=B008OZO7Q6 http://www.amazon.com/Hatchback-Driver-Passenger-Replacement-Lights/dp/B008OZO7Q6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348286019&sr=8-1&keywords=B008OZO7Q6

I was hoping to hear that someone tried these and could say what the quality is like.....

Depo parts are replacement parts made in Taiwan. Not certain about their quality now, but before after a few months the red parts of the taillight slowly turn pinkish due to heat. They might have improved.

Are they actually the LED ones? I know some ebay sellers are sneaky/stupid and put up the wrong pictures.
