I have been talking with Devin from a Mazda 3 Forum who makes a 3rd brakelight LED setup for the 3 for $32. It even plugs into their stock bulb outlet. We have a 921 bulb I know that. But he expressed how he wants to get into the Matrix/Vibe scene to get more notariety over his products. Here is what it looks like for the Mazda 3!





And here is his store. Like I said if your interested let me know!

can he arrange the leds so they just say matrix ? that would be cute.. and since they are brighter it wouldn't make a big difference..

either way i could be interested

[Au-Toe]

that would look really cool.
i'm not sure about looking cute, but either way, it would still be cool
i'd like to know if he could make an led brake tail lights

[Whelan]

I'm sure he could but I think for now he is just trying to get more people interested in his products since he sells mainly for Mazda 3's. He has a sweet set of LED tails for those cars as well.

[Au-Toe]

well i guess to confirm.
i would buy if available...and a good price.
group buy would be better.
hope it would just be plug and play with not modding.

Like I said he is interested and I am talking with him now. The Mazda 3 uses a 921 bulb for its 3rd light as well and as you can see from the pics, it is a plug n' play setup. I know there was a guy from AUS selling a home made LED kit for like $50 on ebay and I don't anticipate this being much more if any than what the Mazda 3 unit is. Give it a few weeks and we may see something!

[Stormtrooper]

I would get it, looks well designed.

["BOLUDO"]

Yeah, do it!

[Ron07]

I'm in for that!

[Whelan]

I'm having a template made so give it about a month, I'll keep you posted

[Stormtrooper]

Assuming the price is around the same as the Mazda 3 one, I'm putting my name down for now.

[jukeboy]

I'd hit it... way better than the $50 ozzie one

[ycart1201]

looks cool. would it be brighter than our taillights causing an uneven look? or would the brightness of the lights look about the same?

He doesnt use the 10,000 mcd (I think thats the rating). I think he goes for the 7k style. Either way it should look close to what we have. Once he does this I'm going to inquire about LED taillamps and see if he can modify our stock tails for LED. He did it for the 3 already look at this!

yeah, that matches perfectly and looks great. i think he would sell alot of the taillamp/3rd brake light combos if he did it for the trix.

*peers closely at the printing on circuit board* and he's Canuck too! w00t, eh! [near T.O. no less]

I might consider it, if he could make it look as clean as that for a reasonable price.

I think i'de like to change my 3rd brake light to a 3rd reverse light. Since i have my rear interior stripped i'll source out the wires to make it work. I'll have to get a clear lense for it though.

[Pourmeaguinness]

If you need a GTA guinea pig.. I have spare tails...

And want an led brake lights, for all 3 spots.

Willing to do the leg work up here if needed.

Cheers

[YellowXrs]

Looks interesting. Depending on how it looks with stock taillights I might be in............

[Vince]

I'd get the 3rd brake light, if it was no more than $40... A complete brake set would be kick @$$!!!
