mazda tail lights any help is appreciated

[slammedmazda]

i have a 1997 mazda b2300. i dont have alot of money and have searched all over ebay. i can not find any tail lights that are not oe replacements. they sell multiple ones for ranger and im pretty sure they are different. u can tell just by pictures and looking on truck to another. where can i get some or how do i go about this? thanks'

Unfortunately there are not other tail lights besides OEM ones. Same goes with headlights too.

thanks. so if i swap to a ranger bed will the cab and bed line up and it look right?

I thought I read once that the Ranger tail light can be flipped and put on the opposite side of the Mazda trucks. Example, take passenger tail from Ranger and put on driver side of Mazda upside down. Though I can't back this up I think it might be something to look into.

allright. my friend has a ranger or ill get one from a local junk yard and check. if it dont work ill just give it back.

the bed on my truck is fairly rough. so i would consider swapping beds and if i could do a ranger bed i can get one fairly easy and for cheap. but will everything line up and look decent?

any info is greatly appreciated. thanks guys

I believe the bed will line up with the rest of the body lines....

We have a B series and a Ranger, the taillights will not interchange in any way, shape, or form. The bed will fit, but the wheel arches won't match and the sides on the B-Series are flared out and more rounded than a Ranger. I think the body lines will line up, but I'm not 100% on that.

Yep the body line will match but lindsay_elaine is right about the fender flare. Big deal cant take as big a tire still looks ok.

the clearance on tire dont bother me at all. cause now it seems as the tires set inside the wheel well quite a bit. ill measure from the bottom of bed side to the body lines and see how close they are. rangers and mazdas are about the same thing. few differences. thanks for the info.
