Will these work on cars other than the 8? The reason I ask is because I have a friend with a 2007 Honda Civic and she loves my blue ones I got from you. She really wants a kit, so I was wondering if you would be willing to make one if she is interested? Can you do colors other than red, white, and blue?

Sorry for not replying sooner. These lights will work in any car. The problem is finding the wires to connect them to. If you're able to following the wires from the door lights then you could just tap them there. Otherwise it might take some time locating the wires under the dash. -- If you lived closer, I'd do it for you.

Still have a blue set available? if so I will paypal right away.
Thanks

Yes, I have blue!

Two questions for you..

Still have any Reds left?
If so, what would be the best way to wire it with a SWITCH?

I'd love it have it wired into the parking/running lights, but I'm worried that they might be a bit distracting while driving. I'd love some sort of Kill switch that would turn them off while driving.

Yes, I still have red.

Hooking them to a switch is very easy. Radio shack has dozens of switches that will work. All you have to do is put the switch between the lights and the car. Shoot me a PM and I'll help you pick out a switch and provide you with whatever info you may need

Thanks.

Sales have died down to just one or two orders per week. The new car fund is doing alright though. I've been saving as much as a I can and not spending as much. As of last week, I technically already ordered a new car... but it won't arrive till x-mas which means I have until then to gather more money for the down payment.


If you don't mind me asking, what car do you plan on getting ?

I want to thank everyone for their help. The sales from this thread greatly helped with the down payment. After many months, my insurance paid out on the rx8 and I actually got much more than I was expecting. The combination of my insurance and this thread helped me afford such a nice car.

Thank you all!

I'm going to continue selling the footwell lights until I run out of inventory. After that, I will not be making anymore. I encourage everyone that is interested to buy now.

I have the following left:

1 White
4 Blue
8 Red

Yeah i'm iterested in those red lights where are you located so i can buy them from you. THANKS.

Rasp: CONGRAT on the car man, after what happened to your RX-8, it's the very least you deserved.

Besides, I see this thread as a complete WIN-WIN for everyone involved. We get great parts and you end up with a great car.
With so few kits left, you guys better jump on them as they'll be gone QUICKLY.

congrats Rasp! i see that you have already started on your Mods (ac schnitzer foot pedals)! sweet car =)

when do we get to see footwell lights in the bimmer?

when do we get to see footwell lights in the bimmer?

sadly, the bimmer already has front and rear footwell lights. :(

what?!
They can't be better then something you can cook up though, right??
I mean, do they change colors like the ones you had in your 8? :D:

Hmmmm....Still debating these after all the good reviews. But I still don't know what color I would want?? Blah.

I have an 04 NG. You guys think red or blue would look better?? I may be leaning towards the blues.

Personally I like the light from the blue ones better... however since the rest of the internal lighting is red , I went with the red.

However, there is nothing stopping you from putting BOTH in with a switch to toggle the color ;)

I still have one white if you're interested.

With an NG I'd want green or white.

Blue is the ish!

Rasp - congrats on the new ride. Great color too and one of the few cars that I would truly consider an upgrade to the 8.

Anyhoo - you still have any blue ones left?

I have a few blue left so you should be okay. Just send the payment when you get home.

I am going to ship all orders tomorrow.

Rotary,

Thought I would try you on here as I'm not having any luck with email. I received the footwell lighting kit & everything looks great, but no instructions on which wires to tap. I have the little sheet with the link to your website (where I'm guessing the instructions are), but the site is down. I get the following error message (removed the link to website for your privacy):

Received the lights Thursday and installed this morning. They look awesome.

Took less than 5 minutes to mount them and run the wires to the connection points and about 45 mins to connect. The quick connectors had to be crimped and crimped and crimped in a VERY tight location but it finally worked.

Rasp - great job on the product and on the instructions. Thanks.

Can I get greens? and how much are they? I hear they are more?

^ don't do it roger....i am the only one allowed to have green ;) j/k

i'm just messing around. but as far as i know, i'm the only one running with green so far.

hah I know. I was playing too.

Well they are sexy as hell.

Well, there might be a third if he does make green! And two of them in the Dallas area... Already have the green interior lights and they look great with the Nordic Green. Would definately be interested in the green footwells!

How do I pay for these like to get a set for the front and rear.

Can I get greens? and how much are they? I hear they are more?

Sorry, no more greens unless you're able to find 3 more people that are willing to pay up front.

Only white, blue, and red at the moment.

sorry i dont know if anybody asked this already....

does it come with a switch or does it wire up to the light switch itself? cops where i live have a problem with having lights of any kind inside or outside that are anything but the legal headlamps and the like. id just like to be able to turn it off and on when i wish. thank you.

They do not come with a switch.

These lights are completely legal. They are installed on the inside of the car and cannot be seen from the outside.

You'll have no problems.

you got a pay pal account? i want red

Now I'm not sure how many sets of these you've sold Rasp, but I sure as hell would like to see more PICTURES! I know a lot have been sold so let's see em folks! My RX is in storage for the winter and unfortunately inaccessible for me to install mine so I'd really like to see more pictures of the lights from people who have them! :)

Hey Jedi thats your car? Looks hottness

I finally found some time to put mine on!!! Posting pictures soon.

So you need 3 more for green?

how many do you need to make a set (the only person that I know of for the green is me)

Hey Jedi thats your car? Looks hottness
yup, that's mine. Thanks man!
I saw the new siggy, that mean the issue was finally resolved? (pm me if you want)

where are you guys in CT? how far are you from bethlehem??? there is no body here that i can talk to about rx8's just rednecks in mustangs/camaros or pick ups

That's correct. The supplier I use requires a min order of 50.

Hey RR,

I remember back in the old thread someone posted about using the lights for the rear passengers, I can't seem to find it. Do you have any pics on hand? I'm feeling for something nice for rear seaters.

here is a pic of mine:

i'm about an hour due south of you.

I finally finished installing my reds last night. Had some problems with the wire crimps, but it all worked out in the end.

*note, they are much brighter and look much better than the pic... but I spend all my money on the car, not on upgrading my 3.2 megapixel point and shoot camera!

Haha that's more like it, nice pictures guys!
Also, did anyone hook their's up with a switch? I'd like to have complete control as to when they are on and off (aka a manual switch).

Not sure where that is, I'm in northeastern CT about 5 minutes from the mass border and about an hour and a half from CTrx8.

Hey RR,

I remember back in the old thread someone posted about using the lights for the rear passengers, I can't seem to find it. Do you have any pics on hand? I'm feeling for something nice for rear seaters.

I've sold a bunch of rear footwell lights, but I didn't personally didn't have them, so I never got any pictures.

I remember seeing pictures in the last thread that someone posted, I'll see if I can find them.

Haha that's more like it, nice pictures guys!

I'm really just curious more than anything.

And here's the switch.

http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo170/misio108/switch1.jpg

are there instructions on how to wire it to a switch?

Instructions on tap locations are included with the lights. You would pretty much go from tap to switch and switch to light in lieu of tap to light. PM me if you have any questions.

you know how long it will take to ship? i can't wait to put them on, my car is in my garage for the winter and im getting bored with it just sitting there

Sounds like good business.:lol2:

Wiring it to a switch is not a problem, although what power source did you use with the switch? Don't you have to have a constant source to turn it on whenever you want? Sorry I should've been more specific the first time. Thanks in advance

I finished installing mine tonight. I was going to post Pics, but considering I got the red ones and Rotary_Power's pic looks Sooo much cleaner than mine I'll pass :) Just imagine his without the Nav option and you have my car hehe.

A few words for those who haven't puchased any yet, or have yet to install.

Rasp did a great job in packaging exactly what you need and the instructions he posted on the web (You get the URL when you purchase) are top notch. I had a few little issues which I though others might want to be aware of before they attempt to install thiers. Note: This is just for informational purposes to save people a bit of trouble, and NOT meant to knock Rasp in any way.

1) A Word on Wiring location: Installation is rather 'simple', however the location where you need to get at the wires is a big pain. There are quite a few bundles of wires under your steering wheel, on the left side.. that's where you'll wire this in. Having a Trunk-Monkey(tm) would have been very useful as I had to actually lie on my back on the driver seat with my head at the pedals in order to get to the wires.. it was not fun :) Once you find the wires it's rather easy.

2) Method to use: I'd highly suggest installing via the "running lights" method over the dome lights. Beyond the practical benefits of not having to have the door open, the wiring points are much easier to locate and slightly easier to get too.

3) Switches: I used a switch like many others have mentioned. The one I choose is one I had from Radio Shack (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103602&tab=custRatings), and it's a 3 pole switch. To wire it up is rather simple. The poles are marked "Power", "Load" and "Ground". All of Rasps BLACK wires + the Tapped wire for the ground (color varies on method) go to the "Ground" pole. The Green wires from Rasp's lights go to the "Load" pole. And the remaining Power wire you tapped (The color varies based on install method again) goes to the "Power" pole.

I've seen this same type of switch at Advanced Auto Parts for around 8bucks.

4) Opps!!! - Should you manage to hook the wires up WRONG, and blow a fuse All is not lost! (We'll not discuss how I found this out).
The fuse for the Running Light version is located under the hood fuse panel, and is labeled "Illum". It controls all of the inside dash "red" illuminations, plus the door lock illuminations. You can run your car without them while you run out to an autoshop to replace it. The speedometer and such are fine, just won't be in red at night. There is ONE spare 10amp fuse in the panel inside the cabin near the drivers left leg. So you have 2 shots at wiring it up right before you need to pick up a few more.

All in all they look great. I think they don't seem as bright as some of the other colors simply because they are red but to me they match the other car lights so I am happy with them.

Since my switch is a little different, here's a pic of it installed... Note: many of those scratches are not from this install, but when I originally used the switch for something else ages ago, and wasn't very careful about removing it :(

Awesome review DaGnome!

I agree that actually getting to the running light wires is a tad easier then the dome light wires. On a side note, being a contortionist will greatly help you install the lights; however, it's not required. ;)

I'm always available by PM for anyone that needs help. No question is too stupid- don't be afraid to ask me for help. I haven't had a single person not be able to install these. (a few have needed help, but they always get them working after they PM me)

Wiring it to a switch is not a problem, although what power source did you use with the switch? Don't you have to have a constant source to turn it on whenever you want? Sorry I should've been more specific the first time. Thanks in advance

it depends....

for the running lights, yes, you do.... however

the dome lights use a neutral switching circuit, so you'd need a constaint ground.... which is pretty much any metal in the car.

I still have one white set that is looking for a home....

Very nice info. So if you hook the switch up to the running lights as you did, whenever you hit the switch on do they come on or do you have to have the running lights on first for them to work? Thanks in advance.

The running lights have to be on, since that's where the power is tapped into.

I suppose it COULD be possible to tap the power to another circuit, say the horn, or power seat/door stuff, but I don't know the wiring enough to know which one has the correct voltage and isn't critical should you blow the fuse.

how long does it take to ship?

All ordered shipped.

This isn't hard. Just tap the ground(body) rather than the black/green wire in the dome light wiring guide.

oh sorry, I misunderstood.

It usually takes 5-7 days for the east coast. You might get it as soon as Thursday.

I will send back the lights soon. I need your PM... this is the second time...hope it doesn't happen again. Maybe you can compensate my shipping fees by throwing in a set of blues for the rear seats... :)

I still have one white set that is looking for a home....

oh, you had blue right? If you want, we can do a cross ship to save time. PM me your address.

Sure... Also for some reason the red on the passenger side isn't working???? I'll send that back also.

What's the char red???

I have the red as footwells and the blue under my front seat... Can you make a set of two attached together on one wire. Therefore I can put the blue one with the double set in the front seat and at the back...lol did you understand that?

I don't exactly follow you....

Char red because my car caught fire and burned to the ground after mazda "fixed" it....

This is what I mean.... That way I can attach it easier... I have reds as footwells and blues under my seat but want them attached like this as a pair... I'll send back yours when I get them. I don't want to be left without my light...lol... I use the blues as running lights so make sure that if that is done that nothing is going to blow up in my car like my stereo fuse blowing when the first ones broke.

http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w245/Leesha_023/wire.jpg

So the blue leds will run to my running lights like before. The difference is that there are 2 on one wire. One for the front of my seat and the other will go under my seat to attach to the back so the wire should be as long as our seats...

I don't exactly follow you....

Char red because my car caught fire and burned to the ground after mazda "fixed" it....

Shit that sucks!!! Did you get a new car???

OK, how much wire would you need between the two? 5 feet?

Yup, I understand.

fwiw, if I had seen white sooner I may not have gone blue. very sharp!

So let me know when the package is shipped and I will send back the both sets that I have... Did you get my PM?

Your lights are awesome...

Thanks!

I emailed my supplier and they said they'd make an exception to the minimum order. So I'll place the order for the leds if you and that other guy will buy a pair.

Let me know.

Saw them at a meet. They look awsome.

RR,

I got your PM. Look for my info back in a PM. PayPal money should get to you soon.

I ordered 50 green leds. That means I have enough supplies for 5 green kits. If anyone else is interested in green, please let me know asap.

GREEN, WHITE, BLUE, RED

Pick a color while they last!

RR do you have a order number or anything to track the shipping for mine? i wont be around this week and i need to have someone either pick it up or sign depending on what the shipping carrier is, so if you could let me know it would be great, thanks so much.

Same here. I haven't received it yet (I believe you shipped mine/ours on or around the 23rd of Jan).

Thanks!

You guys should be getting your lights any day. If you don't get them by Wednesday, I'll call the post office.

RR,

Just wanted to say thanks again for the awesome footwell LED light kit! Finally got them installed, and they are SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!! :biggthump

That's great! you should post pictures!

Have you guys got your packages yet?

Have you guys got your packages yet?
Thanks for checking in. Nope, no package received. I'm totally bummed. I've been stalking the mail car for 1 1/2 weeks now for that package.

No not yet do you have any tracking info

Hey did you mail my replacements? I know you said you were...I just wanted to know so that I can look out for them... The mail comes to boxes at the end of my street so I'll check more often than once a week... :)

Sorry RR i didnt get mine either.

It appears that whole batch got lost in the mail. I'm going to have to remake and resend them this weekend. Sorry for the problems-- but I do need you guys to be patient.

Leesha, yours will take around 2 more weeks. (it didn't go out with the others) Shipping to Canada is slow.

no problem bud, thank you tho

That's fine. Thank you for looking into this.

bud dont ship them to me, i just got mine this morning in the mail! thank you, i guess it takes a little longer maybe for us on the East Coast. Nice wrapping hahaha

but i have no instructions with it, you think you could PM me the instructions??

but i have no instructions with it, you think you could PM me the instructions??

That's great! I was starting to get worried. Losing that many packages in the mail would seriously kill my business.


If you follow the link on the little piece paper you can download the instructions.

Did anyone else get their package?

i'll have pictures up ASAP, thanks RR

I just got word from another member that their package arrived. Seems like the post office is just taking their sweet time.

I received them today 2/6/09 thanks will let you know how it looks

well i didnt buy footwells this time, although i do have them and in the trunk, doors, map light, dome light...

still a great guy and still great products!

bump

Got mine today in the mail...Thanks! Now on to installing them...

Got mine today in the mail...Thanks! Now on to installing them...

That's crazy, I've shipped several kits to owners in Singapore and they got their stuff in half the time it took you.

How about this, it cost 20 cents cheaper to mail a kit to Canada than it does to someone living in the same city.

USPS FTW!

Just got mine installed...took me 2 hours. The installation is, in theory, very easy. the hard part, as has been mentioned before, is accessing the cables (Extremely uncomfortable).

I sent a couple of pm's to RR and he responded right away. I'm very impressed with the support provided and the actual product. This was my first official electrical project on a vehicle...woo hoo!

The Shinka looks extra bad-ass now. Thanks!

GREEN, WHITE, BLUE, RED

The green LEDs are coming today. I should have the green orders shipped by the end of the week.

Thanks for the update RR.

Did everyone get their stuff?

I haven't, the money was sent to you on Jan/24th. I ordered a blue footwell light. Same day I ordered LED light bulbs, Body Kits, Fender Strakes from 3 different company and got them all already. they're all sent via U.S. Postal Service First-Class International.

Your order didn't ship until the 30th. It normally takes 3 weeks to get to Canada.

I'm mailing stuff today..... place your orders! :)

I received the package today. Thank you. I'm new to wiring so the instruction kind of shock me when it gets to the last few steps. I will try to installl them when I get off work tonight. and I better find some kind of light so I can work under there.

hey rasp. I might buy some greens, but not at this time. You see yourself doing some in the future again?

Depends on the color. I only have one white and two blues left.

Everything Shipped!

Thanks RR, I'll be looking for it. :lol:

Thanks RR, I'll be looking for it. :lol:

Make sure to post pictures after you get them installed. You're one of 3 green owners.

Hey rasp, took the rx8 out of storage today and was going to install the lights but your site for the instructions isn't working on my computer nor blackberry storm so I know it's not just me... Can you help me out? I'd really like to get these done this morning

I changed the website a few months ago. I'll PM you the new address in a few.

Sounds good, thanks

p.s. just installed these.. it was so simple. i thought it was going to be a PITA.

good stuff RR.. what can I do about the dome lights?

Out of reds? If so, do you see another GB in the future?

I still have red! Send payment when you can. The next batch is going out Friday, but I need at least a day or so to make it.

PM sent.

PM sent.


Replied.

URrrrggggg!!!!! DAMN!!!!

Ok you sent the red lights didn't tell me they were reds. I set them up to running lights which are suppose to be the blues!!!

The old red ones are broken. I will send that back however you didn't send the blues which have also shorted out!!!

Now I have my reds connected which took me 1/2 or so to fiddle the wires in to only find out that they are not the blues.

Please send the blues with 2 attached on one wire like my drawing... I bought 2sets from you and your suppose to replace the 2. I will leave the reds as my running lights for now till I get the blues and switch them then.

WHAT A WAIST OF TIME!!

I'm not mad at you however if you read my post would have understood that I needed the reds and blues. Plus you never stated which color you sent so I assumed it was the blues...

Not even sure if these will work as my footwells. Send the blues and if it doesn't fit across I will send these back.

Make the blues one on each side of my driver seat and passenger seat with 2 attached.

http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w245/Leesha_023/wire.jpg

I'm sooooo confused. The picture you posted is of the red leds. I figured that is what you needed.

I'm sooooo confused. The picture you posted is of the red leds. I figured that is what you needed.

The pic I posted is on my red seats...:lol2: However you can't tell the color of the lights.

Anyways I still need these ones to replace the broke reds. So that problem is fixed. The single wire should work fine for my footwells. (When I get the blues and switch the new one's from running to footwells I'll let you know then if it works)

Check PM I explained the rest there.

The pic I posted is on my red seats...:lol2: However you can't tell the color of the lights.



To the untrained eye, all the leds look the same when off. I can tell red from blue even when they are not on. That's how I new the ones you posted were red. They don't call me an led expert for no reason. :lol:

I might need you to send back the blue before I ship you the replacements. I'm pretty sure I'm all out of blue but I will check.

This is what I mean.... That way I can attach it easier... I have reds as footwells and blues under my seat but want them attached like this as a pair... I'll send back yours when I get them. I don't want to be left without my light...lol... I use the blues as running lights so make sure that if that is done that nothing is going to blow up in my car like my stereo fuse blowing when the first ones broke.

http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w245/Leesha_023/wire.jpg

So the blue leds will run to my running lights like before. The difference is that there are 2 on one wire. One for the front of my seat and the other will go under my seat to attach to the back so the wire should be as long as our seats...

Here is the msg about the blues.

I know you'll send them back, I'm not worried about that. I've already sent you one replacement set on good faith, but I can't you send something I don't have. I'll look later and double check though.

I've been pretty good about helping you get this fixed, more so than many of the vendors I've bought from on this forum in the past. I have to make each one of these by hand and I assure you, it's just as much of a pain in the ass for me as it is for you. I'm sorry that your having issues and I promise to do what I can to rectify the problem.

You said yourself that you did not state the color that you needed and just assumed that it was implied you needed blue, even though the picture you posted was red. I'm sorry and I will fix this issue for you, but can you honestly hold me liable for the mistake?

btw- I'm sure you did not realize that I could tell the color from the picture.

Msg above shows that I asked for the blues and not reds... in pm I told you about the broken reds and shorting out blues and needed both replaced.

Ok so what now... I'm not sending the blues back because they are still hooked up and I'm following my directions.

How long will I have to wait till you get more... that's another thing... If I disconnect them and you send them months down the line I will forget how I did it all so.... what shall we do?

BTW the blues are also broken. One of them. The one that was shorting out...it would flash on and off and drove me nuts...

I do not think the problem is the strip "shorting out" as you stated. I had the same problem on the initial installation. The problem was actually due to the provided wire splicer because it ended up cutting off the end of the wire (connected to the LED strip) instead of splicing it and therefore had a poor to non-existent connection. This kind...

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll300/odddood/LEDsplicer.jpg

I ended up going to Radio Shack and buying a different style of wire splicer...the same kind I used on my Fog light re-wire.

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll300/odddood/wiresplicer.jpg

This style suited my needs better and also gives me the option to disconnect and reconnect them much easier.

Good Luck...

PS...how the heck did you break these? And more than once? They are located in such an obscure place I just don't know how it is possible!

Those are much better, but if you can, make sure yo get the red ones. The blues (in your pic) are for larger wire and may not completely cut through the wire isolation.

You ROCK!!! We've cleared up this issue and I've ordered another set of reds to help fund for the RX8...

THANKS ROTARY RASP!!!

Just installed mine through dome light operation, looks good but have to wait until I see them in the dark to get the full effect. Instructions were very easy to follow RR, thanks.

Tip to anyone that is going to install these.... do not do it in cold weather. The adhesive doesn't stick and the zip ties actually snapped on me :lol2:

EDIT: Are the LEDs supposed to flicker while dimming?

flicker? maybe a little due to the fact that they aren't really lights. I didn't notice it at all and you'd be the first to mention it. Is it really obvious, or just a little?

I figured it was probably because they are leds and not traditional bulbs. But no, it is not obvious at all, I just happen to notice it while turning them on and off over and over again lol

Had compliments on them already from people. They are pretty bright at night, two thumbs up rasp.

do you have any pics of the white?

No... maybe someone who bought a set of white can post a picture. I only have one white set left.

RR- Money sent this morning. Check your email. :)

PM'd you RR

PM's returned! :)

BTW... It makes it a lot easier to send money when you provide the right email address. :)

I got my greens in the mail today.. Once this snow goes away (no garage - just a car port) I will get mine installed and post some pics.

my bad :uhh:

Everything shipped!

This is probably a dumb question, but oh well, I'll ask anyway. Anyone have any idea how long these LED lights usually last? I'm interested in hooking mine up to the parking lights and installing a manual switch.

The superflux LEDs I used have a MTBF (mean time between failure) rate of 100,000 hours.

That's over 11 years of continuous operation.

(basically forever)

I don't know if it's too late or not. It's been a while. Any chance you've still got some red ones lying around?

I'm still waiting for some pictures of those green leds! ;)

You'll get them :lol2: I got them put in place and it started raining!! it has been crap weather for the past few days. I wish I had a garage.

I just need to get down in the wiring and hook them up. I'll try and get it done this weekend if the weather cooperates.

mkztg

Can't wait to see them. :)

Just wondering if you have any blue sets left?

Just wondering if you have any blue sets left?

Yes, I should be receiving more blue tomorrow or Saturday.

The blue leds came in today. I should be mailing out everything this weekend.

I've been slightly behind in getting everything made. Everything should ship tonight.

Sorry it took me so long!! Here ya go!

Where did you install yours? Why do the brighten up the doors???

They are installed under the dash per Rasp's install instructions. I also have a full set of super green LED interior lights, which is what is reflecting off the doors and seats.

side note: if ANYONE has purchased these for a mazda 3, please pm me. i got 2 sets for my 8, and 2 sets for my gf's 3...rodger's been a big help, but no official instructions on how to tap into the 3's lights...so any 1st hand knowledge would be appreciated!!

Payment received! I'll try to get these made today but no promises.

thanks rodger...can't wait to get them. i swear, i'm going to constantly get out of car w/ the lights on and just *accidentally* leave the doors open...just randomly...like just stop at blockbuster, leave all 4 doors open (yes, all four) while i pretend to return a move, just so everyone will see how f-ing cool it will look..........:lol2:

Hey guys, all orders went out today.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO ORDER FOOTWELL LIGHTS.

The GB ends tomorrow! Get your order in NOW....

Bump for a great guy and a great product! The GREEN ROCKS!! :)

Bump for a great guy and a great product! The GREEN ROCKS!! :)

agreed - RR is a great guy and the green does indeed rock :ylsuper:

it's cheaper to buy these directly from RotaryRasp then from Fluid Motorsports

all PM's replied!

whoa, glad i got in in time!! i had thought about doubling my order to get some crazy red lights all over my car......i guess i'll have to make due!!

Thanks for the compliments guys. I haven't gotten any orders today. :(

^^Hey Rodger, do you think I can buy just a driver side strip? Mine dims and gets bright and cant figure out why. I've tapped and retapped the wires, but its the only one of the four that does it. Thanks.

If you're sure it's broken, there is no reason to buy another, just send it back and I will replace it.

hopefully i'll get them by friday so i can install on saturday!!!!

hey rodger, ever thought or had any comment to attach a strip to the bottom of each front door? like on the underside of the bin in the door...then hook it up to the dome lights, so when you openthe door, the light shines down by your feet...it sounds cool in my head...not really sure if it would look good though.

My new car has lights under the door similar to what you're talking about. I think it would be too hard to do on the rx-8, and it would require cutting, which most are not willing to do.

I can't promise you'll have your lights by friday, they went out last night.

I still have red, green, and blue. Today is the last day to order!!
