they're great stock fender lights. but they're duplicated a lot by different themes and are easily mistaken for the aftermarket clear tail lights. They look awesome with a silver RX8. A silver Mazda speed 6 that's in town at the gas station had it's tail lights changed recently to a black background aftermarket tail lights, I don't know why. But it didn't look so great.

Double Cream gasoline anyone?

It will not work on the tails the glue they used fused the plastic together.

The front headlights can be baked but to get into the back of the tails a person has to cut into it from the back.

Thumbs up DecalFX Red Tail Light "red out" Lens Film is your answer

Im debating on smoking my 09 tails. But I'm starting to consider redding them out with this red transparent film for tail lights to give it a cleaner look. They even have precuts for the 8 at this link.

those may not fit as the 09 tail lights might be a little different shaped than the 04-08 ones. i heard the 09 tail lights arent interchangeable with the older model rx8s.

hahah they aren't"ricer" my friend. Just tint them, either with a tint spray or an easier option would be go to your local tint shop and have them do it. My shop charges me 20 for both tailights

So this hasn't been completely said but it was hinted at a few posts back. From my understanding, the taillights are sonically fused to each other. This means they cannot be 'baked' apart as sound waves were used to seal the two pieces together and not an adhesive. The headlights are sealed with an adhesive of some sort and therefore can be separated using the 'bake' method. Hope this helps people questioning a recipe for the taillights.

I need to figure out how to get rid of that chrome reflector nastiness.. its just to much action on the back section.. I bet more thought went into that taillight then the whole design and layout of the interior
