The only way these would throw a light is if you cut some wires you weren't supposed to. Even then, it's still highly unlikely

OK sorry never mind I check on autozone its something else.
I thought maybe I did something wrong even if the lights come on and off the way suppose to but its not it I hope its a fuel cup
If somebody know what P0455 code is I need help I post it already in problems section

And I live in New Jersey Jedi
Thanks

The only way my footwell lights would throw a CEL is if you cut the wrong wire while installing them.

I haven't heard of it happening from anyone.... so I wouldn't worry about it.

My lights make me want to wear white tennis shoes in my car all the time. Is this normal?

If it is, i'm thinking RR needs to post a warning in his instructions

Slightly off the topic here, but it does relate: Does anyone know of a specific 194 blue LED bulb that matches the color of RR's blue LEDs? I bought some "super blue" LEDs from V-LEDS for my doors and they are a lighter blue, which really clashes with the footwell lights. If I can't find a good match, I'll probably just go with a super white.

Any suggestions welcome!

individual sales still.

Rotary Rasp
12-21-2007, 12:58 PM
The price is still set at $50. (red or blue)

International shipping is an additional $5.

I have a limited number of kits left. I will not take any orders after January 15th. (very firm)

PM me for my paypal address.

I would recommend them to anyone considering them. I got a set of blue for when the courtesy lamps are on and red for when the headlights are on. Looks great. I used to have neons on another car and these are way better. Much smaller and easier to mount.

Green leds are uber expensive, compared to red or blue.

I have enough to make one green set.

If you're interested in having the only green leds in an rx-8, PM me and we'll talk details.

Hey Rasp,

I want one set of Blue and two sets of the Red. Any discount for ordering Three(3) sets?

Also, any answer to Olo rin2's question about a proper match of the Blue courtesy door lamp led's to your Blue footwell led? Thanks!

PM me!!

absolutely, I'll take 15% if you order 3 sets.

At the moment I'm still looking for a direct match for the door lights. I'll keep you guys posted on that.

just reading up, i can buy a two rows so that they are on when the doors are open and another when the parking lights are on...can i turn them of while i am driving?

Rotary Rasp
12-22-2007, 03:20 AM
yes you can. If you want to turn them off when your driving you'll need to install a simple switch. Not hard at all, you just have to find a spot to mount it.

I think I should further explain how the lights operate. The lights can be hooked to the parking lights or the dome lights, not both. If you want the both (one color for each), you'll have to buy two sets.

I made you a trunk kit. Just remove the stock light bulb and plug in the connector I made. Try it before you hack it up. ;)

actually, you're wrong. you both paid extra. The green leds I used on ctrx8 kit were ordered from a personal project of mine that I gave up on.

second, you got blue/green, that will yield a completely different result than all green. So, you'll both have unique setups.

Have you thought of changing the gauges to a green also, that would make it look alot better when opening the door.

After about 1hr of troubleshooting I finally got it installed. The drive side LED set would not turn on! I was thinking that somehow I had screwed up the crimps but I noticed that when I touched the LED board it would flash on then off. After pulling back the electrical tape on rotery rasp's LED board I found the problem. One of the soldered wires had detached and was tapping the LED when the board was moved around. After a 5 minute solder job I had it up and running, had me worried for a minute but it looks nice now I will post pictures this weekend.

i believe changing the guage color is a pretty complex project if i remember reading some people wanting a DIY. that and i'm not all that handy so i doubt it's something i'll take on but i'm really digging the green with my NG and that thought process might change after a little bit.

I've never found any record of anyone actually pulling it off... ive considered attempting it, but I cant risk having the car out of action for that long, and if it was anything but near impossible, i figure someone woulda done it by now. I think you have to pull off every button on the dash, scape off the red coating, and change the white backlights to blue or... green... as for the tach... god only knows whats behind that thing.
if anyone can do this, PM me.
