Yeah they are discontinued an I had a really hard time finding them. I got lucky a dealer gave me a heads up on another dealer that had two left. I think there pretty much impossible to get now. I don't think I'm going to be able to install mine so I would sell them to you. There not taken out of the box. I also have a brand new set of the blue tinted oem foglights never used yet also. Let me know if your interested. Mazdarx804-

Wow I didn't know they stopped selling them. I have them and I didn't want to drill into bumper, u can use double sided tape and readjust your mesh screens. They air tight and wont move I had mine in there for a year daily driven. This way if u don't like it there's no damage to bumper

Really?? The 3M holds the brackets in there without them moving or coming off?? What kind did you use? Just the 3M you can get at like Advance Auto Parts where the paint section is?? Thanks for the info

Yeah, 3m. it worked out very well. they don't move because when you put the bumper back on the snug up very well on the backside as well. As i said i had them in for a year daily driven in Florida weather on highway driving and all, didn't budge. When i had to take bumper off i went to remove then and actually had a hell of time pulling them off of the tape. lol

I went this route first because i wasn't sure if i really wanted to have them installed and do all the drilling.

Give it a shot
