I stumbled across this website while hunting down Yellow (Not Amber) Bulbs for my Corners and front turn signals!

My Choice For Map Lights, Doors, Front Running Lights, and Rear Plate are these. but it's all user Pref.

I currently have LED 194s in my maps but they only have 2 LEDs I think they are brighter than the regular stock bulbs but these ones have 4 LEDs and should Shine linke crazy. Also I got the dual LED ones for $29 when I got them so I get twice the Light for more than half the price.

I got These for my front corner lights. I got tired of the total hyper white thing and will not do stoopid colors like Purple, Blue Blue, or green and I liked yellow better than Amber. I'll change later if I hate them. I would have gotten Yellow LED 194s but I could only find Amber but these will look fine.

Now for the Front and rear turn Signals as well as the reverse lights I was going to use 7440 but I wanted them a little brighter so I got the dual Filament 7443 and wired the top of the posts on each side together to illuminate both Filaments at the same time. Do not wire From one side of the bulb to the other. (I am not responsible for any Damage caused by you doing this as a result of reading this is your own Fault.) If you do not understand it is better for you to get the 7440 (http://216.82.69.117/search_results.asp?txtsearchParamTxt=7440&txtsearchParamCat=10&txtsearchParamType=ALL&txtsearchParamMan=ALL&txtsearchParamVen=ALL&txtFromSearch=fromSearch&iLevel=2&subcat=74) bulbs and not worry about it!!

Then Hyper White for the Reverse bulbs!

I chose not to use the LED 7440 because they are directional and wouldn't illuminate the whole tail-light evenly. That looks ghetto IMO. (If you decide to get the LED ones only get the 7440 LEDs for the turn signals and reverse lights because wiring across might damage something due to the Circuitry in the LED bulbs housing.) For the Brake Lights you must get the 7443 bulbs and don't do Wire mods to the Brake Lights at all. I didn't change them nor the center cos I think they look fine.

For the 1 3/16" Dome Light behind the Moonroof I decided to try the LED ones But I got an extra Hyper White one to replace it with if I don't like it.

LED Lights. These are directional so make sure the LED's are pointing straight down when installing...

For the H11 fog Lights I found this site (http://www.supremepower.com/category/lighting/spplight.html) to have decent prices and a good selection between colors and wattages.

I want to get the 80 watt bulbs beacuse the Nokya 100Watt ones will probably burn out too quickly but I don't know if the wire harness, Wiring, or Fuses will handle the 80Watt Load any opinions on this would be helpful.

I want to get the 80Watt if safe but still not sure about the color. Might just get white because I don't wanna drown out the yellow corners or turn signals.

I've seen H11 HID bulbs but they didn't include the Ballasts Wouldn't mind installing a true HID system in them so if anybody knows of good H11 HID kits let me know.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the High Beams are 9005 but not totally sure haven't removed them to check. The look like it through the lens tho.

Haven't found a good Price and Selection on high quality 9005 bulbs yet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the Headlights I got the HID systems with the car but I thought the bulbs would be a little Whiter than that. They are blue when first Ignited but when they warm up they look like regular bulbs. I've seen HID Bulb replacments but I don't know what bulb to use or anything so any Info would be helpful for all here if they decide to get a set of bulbs that are Whiter, have a little more Arctic blue look or that S2000 Purplish look. Coz the bulb is only like $59 a pair for the true HID bulbs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't look at the Glove Box Light or the trunk Dome Light but I will and Update.

Trunk dome is another 194 so you can just use on of your extras :D

I like that dome one. how's it look in the car?

D/K haven't gotten most of them. I only have the Map Lights, Doors, Front Running Lights, Rear Turn Signals Red and Reverse White. Waiting for the order from this place...

Edit:
Also waiting for my Clear Corners and H11 80W White Fog Bulbs

I put a red dome light in mine
and hyper white for reading lights

do them make stealth bulbs for front turn signals?
oh and I bought red turn signals for back but they looked pink so I took them out.

ditto...

I got "stealth" signal bulbs for an e-bay store...

See my pics link in my sig for shots of the effect.

I had to do some slight modification to the bulb bases to make them insert all the way... and it was a tight squeeze, but they're in :p I'm sure there will be better bulbs on the market at some point, but these are the only ones I've found so far.

Oh, and I have the chromed amber 194s in my clear corners.

I was going to do a red or blue dome color but I would rather see regular light than a colored light.

in the section down Polarg has some stealth bulbs but they are the 11 series twist bulbs. Haven't found stealth in the 7440 or 7443 bulbs yet.

The Tail Light turn Signal bulbs I had a problem with too The first set I bought from a store here in town when I installed tham they looked pink so I removed them and looked for ones with Darker red glass. They almost have to look like a candy apple red to illuminate a good deep red color. the Red ones in the section above have that deep red look so I think they will look alright but don't quote me on that.

thanks guys
protoolskid you are the light god

i'll chime in here:

i put red interior lighting in my previous ride and was happy to see that mazda already done some of the work for me when i got my 8. ;)

LED vs. Incandescent

i stayed with red incandescent (aka "regular") for my dome, map and door lights so that they'd still fade in/out. (i left the vanity lights alone.)

i put hyper white LEDs in the parking, corners, front and rear turns, and rear license plate. red LED's in the tails turned out to not look good as they are aimed straight back and don't reflect off the housing at all. i did put one in the high mount tail though at it looks fine. (oh, hyper white incandescents in the reverse lights also)

also, after getting feedback from my friends, it turns out that the hyper white LED's i have in my turns are hard to see in the daylight but they look damn nice at night. i'll probably end up swapping to hyper white incandescents. if they're still too hard to see i guess i'll go with stealth ambers. though i'd REALLY rather keep the slightly bluish tint that the hyper whites give off...they're a) not safe for daytime and b) illegal (but that's never stopped me b4 ;))

anyone else have a problem with daytime light visibility? (it makes sense that the hyper white bulbs [LED or incandescent] are hard to see during the day due to their wavelength.)

i'll post some pics when i get a chance to take some.

one more thing...

i got mine here: http://autolumination.com/

it's one guy (his name escapes me right now) and he's very courteous. fast and reliable service.

Everybody Thanks for posting other links to sites that cary bulbs too Just trying to help get this Info thread going....

thanks guys

exl13 I order 4 7440 white leds and 2 7440 red leds from autolumation with my mazda debit

Newbie question: How do I change the H11 bulb in the foglamp? Do I have to remove the front bumper? Do you think the 80w bulbs will fry the wiring harness?

you dont have to remove the bumper to install H11's
I'm not sure about the 80w however the passenger fog just get it from the side with your hand and the driver side you must undo screws from the bottom of the car and then reach up to remove it

Just got my bulbs in and installed most of them except the yellow ones. I tried them on one side and they looked like a$$ so I removed them and just installed the hyper white bulbs. The 4 LED 194 bulbs are very bright but very directional at the same time they didn't work in the corners so I installed them in the interrior door lighting.

who did you order from and how long did it take for them to come

I ordered from the place above and they shipped monday and I got them thursday.

I got 6 7440 Led bulbs today and when I plugged them in NONE of them are working. What am I doing wrong this sucks

LEDs only allow current to flow one direction LED = Light emitting Diode. Diodes allow current to flow one direction but not back through. All you need to do is turn the bulb around so the current will flow the other direction.

Thanks pro tool but I have flipped and rotated the bulbs several times and they wont work

Dude I D/K why they wouldn't work send them back...

I'm working on that now

Thanx for the great post and comments guys, just took use of it today!

I'm bringing this thread back to life because I can't find the answer in a search. I replaced my front running lights with white LEDs, single bulb inverted type, and I'm not happy with the brightness. I went with the inverted because I figured that the focused would give me a pinpoint effect and not light the whole housing, but now I'm wondering if I should a) go with the single LED focused, or b) go for the 4 LED wedge bulb. What do you lighting gurus think, and will the wedge with 4 LEDs fit in that tiny housing?

Thanks, Tony.

I forgot about this thread I found out that the High beams are not 9006 they are H9 and the Fogs are H11

But has anyone determined if the stock harness can handle the 80W fogs?

Thanks for the link... superwhite power!! I just need the dome light ... they have superwhite in the H11 site (supreme power). I think I go for that. LED is good too!

Here's a new,updated Bulb Code and info thread,with a link to even less expensive bulbs,including ALL stealth and LEDs.

http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25466

It lists all the bulb codes and locations of said bulbs,all in one easy-to-print list. www.autolumination.com/7443_7440.htm has got the best prices and quickest shipping that I've found,but they don't carry
H9/9005 halogens (for the hi-beams on the HID equipped cars) and H11s (fog lights).....



......And dome lights are 194s,btw.

Can someone post a pic of their license plate lights if it's red or hyper white? I can't decide which ones...

Jdaled,
I just saw your pics of the break in......almost made me sick. What was the result? Hopefully you caught the bastards!

I've been running H9 80W high beams and 80W H11
fogs for about a month....no problems

9005 High Beams doesnt fit...

the higher wattage 9005's just die in about 8 months,and might fry your wiring harness,which will NOT be covered under factory warranty....
