  1. My model of MX-5 is: Euphonic
  2. I’m based in Sunderland
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: Carbonmiata LED Taillights

Hi,

Im looking at buying the new sequential LED Taillights by Carbonmiata. (https://www.carbonmiata.com/shop/mazda-mx-5/nb-99-05-mazda-mx-5/exterior-parts-nb-99-05-mazda-mx-5-nb-99-05-mazda-mx-5/tail-lights/sequential-led-tail-lights-for-miata-nb-mk2/). However i cannot decide between clear and smoked. I have a Euphonic model (Velocity Red) and I cant decide which would be best. Does anyone have any photos or videos of the smoked version on a red car?

Thanks!

Hello Lewis, those tail lights look amazing. This is the first time I’ve seen these so thanks for sharing the link.
Re:colour choice. That’s going to be largely subjective and everyone will feel differently.
Ultimately the only choice that matters is yours. Personally I would choose red on your car but a set of smoked lenses would look good if you painted the area between them a satin black.
One thought that crossed my mind is legality in the UK market. :thinking:
This may not be an issue for some but it might be worth researching before you pull the trigger if it’s of concern to you.
I hope you can share photos of the ones you go for when you get them installed. :crossed_fingers: :+1: :ok_hand:

Cheers,
Guy

wont be e marked, but most people would get away with that. No fog light will be a problem

Hi thanks for input guys.

They are a cracking set of lights for a good price. I was originally thinking of the red set as they do match a little better in my head with the red colour.

I am well aware of the legality and the answer is they aren’t legal, unfortunately. Due to the lack of rear fog light and e marking. However, I would likely get away with no e marking. Since they are literally plug and play with no wiring, I can probably get away with either carrying around my old lights in case of fog or not driving on foggy days. Luckily I work from home so driving is not essential for me and it becomes much less of a problem.

I asked Carbon Miata, a while back, if they are planning on producing a fog light version. They said they are looking at the feasibility of doing so. I will ask again before I purchase as I would likely trade in their current set for a new set with fogs if it gets done.

These may split opinions!

I would go for red, personally.

You could always fit an external fog light…
