If there is anyone looking for MM foglights search for MAZDA MIATA/MX-5/ MPV 2001-2003 FOG LIGHT instead of a Marauder fog light. The Mazda ones are identical and are much cheaper. I just picked up 2 for $29.99 each including shipping and they included the halogen bulbs.

Like I said in the 1st post, these are IDENTICAL to the Marauder foglights. Same markings, same mounting, same manufacturer.

No. If you get them I'd like to see how you install them. You really need to see how the originals are installed.

Eh, I don't know, upon further review I think I'd rather do a plug 'n' play with the Cibies.

If I remember correctly, these foglamps on ebay are bigger then stock and wont fit into the bumper.

The pictures seem to show a tight but OK fit. I may take on the task of seeing how easy these eBay fogs are myself. ;)

The ONLY difference between the Marauder and the Mazda lights is the Mazda lights have a bigger adjustment screw and the part number is 3W3D-15201-AA instead of 3W3D-15201-AB.

I'm confused. My car came w/ Cibie manufactured fog lamps, yet the seller states that these lamps are manufactured by Autopia. Upon request they come with 7 color halos.

These are the Cibie ones:

Now... except for the part number on the label and the adjustment screw are they the same as the original ones?

Maybe after you tell them they will believe.

Haven't posted in a while but have lurked often. Just have to say 1 of my fogs cracked and the other was so dull it looked like he!!. Got the part number from the member I bother constantly for part numbers and was going to bite the bullet and shell out more than $200 for the pair. I happened upon this thread and 2 days and $54 bucks later I'm back in business.
I also happened upon the thread about the Escape Mach300 and Audiophile radios and figured, ok, since I'm going to keep the car at least another year, I'll try one of these especially for the ease of Ipod hook up.............Sure As ***** the freakin original radio decides to stop ejecting cds 1 day b4 the new radio gets here. This site and its mebers are one of a kind.

Yes, I have. They do work. I'd do one of 2 things:


Replace the bulbs with SilverSatrs
Modify the foglights to accept H1 HID lights

From the shop manual:

Park the MM on a level spot pointing towards a blank wall at least 8 feet wide. The MM should be 25 feet from the wall. Adjust the foglights to 10cm or 4inches below the centerline of the foglights.
