I had my lamp fill up with condensation, but it took them about a half hour to fix it. Why are you without your car for a week?

Yea, they should just order the taillight and call you when you can come to get it replaced.

Dude your dealership sucks ***. It should take them less than an hour to replace the taillight...that's how long mine took.

Plus, there's already tons of threads on this so try searching.

Please go pick up your car asap. Don't let them "test drive" it for 7 days!

I just picked it up, they called me and they said that the part takes them a week to get, but they just took one off one of their cars in the back...Actually, I thought that was pretty cool

Sweet, instead of replacing the taillight with a new part as required by the warranty, they gave you a used part.

I'd definitely go back to that dealer again

Laguna Hills, CA Mazda had the tail light in stock. I dropped the car off, ate lunch, picked the car up.

Hey guys...regarding this taillight issue...I noticed when I bought my 8 that the clear lens wraps around and comes to a point facing the side of the car...and there is space between the lens and the car body...it seems only natural that with that design air and anything else would get into the taillight area when the car is moving...or even moisture when the vehicle is in humid conditions. I haven't had a problem yet, but am curious as to whether this is the same on your 8's. Mine is a 2005.
