View Full Version : GB: LED Footwell Lights!!!
Rotary Rasp 09-16-2008, 10:41 PM Do to the overwhelming success of my last footwell group buy I've decided to sell another batch.
The lights are offered in red, green, white, or blue. I include directions with each kit that explains how to connect them to the dome lights (these are the lights that come one with the doors) OR the parking lights (these are the lights that come on with the dash lights). Due to the wiring characteristics of the rx-8 YOU CAN ONLY CONNECT TO ONE. You need to buy two sets if you want both dome and parking light operation.
Here's a link to the last GB. Lots of happy customers!

ps... as many of you already know, my car blew up due the incorrect installation of a new motor by the dealer. This GB is being started to help fund a down payment on a new car for me. ;)

Nopstnz8 09-19-2008, 02:09 AM Would you be willing to make them for the rear as well? If you did, how much? Also, would you be willing to make me an automatic headlight module like you did on your 8? If so, shoot me a pm with the price and I will tell you if I'm interested. Could you make it with transistors instead of relays?
Rotary Rasp 09-19-2008, 02:15 AM Would you be willing to make them for the rear as well? If you did, how much?
yes, $5 more for the longer wires.
GTConversion 09-19-2008, 06:51 PM Do the dome light ones go off when you're driving? I think these look awesome but I'd like a way to turn them off sometimes too?
moRotorMotor 09-19-2008, 08:20 PM Just wanted to say that Rodger's products are top notch! I've opted to have him send me LEDs for my rear passenger footwells as well and it is incredible! I love my car so much more because of this mod. Definitely buying from him again if he comes out with anymore toys for our 8.
Rotary Rasp 09-20-2008, 10:50 PM Do the dome light ones go off when you're driving? I think these look awesome but I'd like a way to turn them off sometimes too?
huh?
there is no way that I know of to keep the dome light on after you shut the door.
so then, yes it turns off
Rotary Rasp 09-20-2008, 10:51 PM I'm glad you like them!

Satisfied customer and a bump for a great product!!!

If you bought red your order will be shipped today.
Blue orders will ship in a week.
DoubleGoose 09-22-2008, 01:42 PM wooo!!! red orders ftw! im pumped.
Rotary Rasp 09-22-2008, 02:00 PM I should also note that i've made some improvements since the last group buy.
These lights are better protected and are less vulnerable to being damages if kicked. I'm also using better wires, so it's easier to tell the positive from the negative.
http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u274/rx8rasp/DSCF0508.jpg
nice. would have gotten this if i'd known there'd be a 2nd batch. that's ok since i was still able to make one for me (thanks for the help on the circuit). your moonroof module still works like a charm. the guys & gals in this GB are in good hands :icon_tup:
and sorry to hear about your 8 RR :tear: absolutely loved your lighting mods... did you make a thread about what happened?
Jedi54 09-22-2008, 02:05 PM just wanted to chime in and give my support for Rodger's footwell lights. I've had these in my car for some time, they look AWESOME!
You guys won't find a better seller out there then Rodger. This guy has and will ALWAYS have my respect and business. :)

Rotary Rasp 09-24-2008, 01:24 PM Hmm, thinking of getting a front and rear set. Would that be $105?
Yup, that's correct. Make sure you make a note in the paypal comments that one set is for the rear. This whay I know to make one set of wires longer.
Tonicart 09-24-2008, 01:43 PM What type of LEDs are you using, if you don't mind me asking? LEDs are somewhat of a hobby of mine too :) I'm considering the red ones to match my 40th's interior.

Tonicart 09-24-2008, 08:54 PM When i first saw this thread, I was thinking of making some with Luxeons... but then they'd probably blind me every time I opened the door :)

Question for those of you with them hooked up to the parking lights, it's not too distracting to drive with it on at night, is it? Also can you notice that its there during the day driving around?
DoubleGoose 10-01-2008, 10:40 AM Its not really distracting imo. The reason i did parking lights was so that it was on while i drove. Its a nice red glow and its not obstructive. These lights do a good job of keeing the light on the ground. During the day, u can barely see them unless ur looking directly at them, you see maybe a faint spot of whatever color light u chose, on the floor.

Each one is made to order.

I have blue led's in my doors now and I love how it looks when you open the car, but I think I might also want them to come on at night while driving too :)

if i remember correctly i dont think you can wire them for both.. i think its either/or.. but when you open your doors just hurry up and turn your lights on and they'll be on before you even step into the car ;)

Due to the cars wiring design, it is NOT possible. You would have to order another set.
I've spent hours researching a way to do it--- can't be done.

Joose 10-08-2008, 10:51 PM So it's been raining here the past two days so I haven't had time to install them. But I got fed up with the fact that it was raining all day and did it tonight with my handy dandy mag light.
All I have to say is ouch, my back. I wired them to my running lights and getting that first red/yellow wire was a pain. The 2nd one was much easier to get to.
They were very easy to install and the instructions provided were easy to follow. Very easy installation just gotta work in a small space - no one's fault there.
I love the way they look, not ricey at all, and go very well with my red/black leather :)
Anyway, took these with my iPhone - I'll be at my parents over the weekend and will use their digital camera to take some much better shots.

remixlp 10-09-2008, 01:43 AM thats awsome. I havent had time to install mine. I hope to do it on saturday.
egads 10-09-2008, 01:52 AM Well, installation was a pain since I attached it to the wrong wires at first and had to redo the connections. But RR helped me out and all's well. Thanks Rasp!
I got both the front and back set. My pictures came out blurry but you get the idea. Oh and for anybody who's going to get a set for the back, I suggest using velcro to stick the LEDs to the underside of the seat. Works great and you can adjust as needed!
RyanX-8 10-09-2008, 03:16 PM i will be putting mine on in a little while. Tell you guys how it goes
UnstoppableDrew 10-10-2008, 10:49 AM I totally recommend these. I bought them last time around, and combined with the blue led interior lights from rx8strakes my cockpit looks like a ufo. I posted a thread with pics a few weeks ago (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?p=2677016).

ShellDude 10-11-2008, 10:43 PM bumpty bump bump!
I got my door and top light LEDs (super blue) today to compliment my footwell lights... OMG... she's ssssooo sweet looking. I'm going to leave the map lights conventional for now but I've got the itch so it's probably just a matter of time till they too are swapped out. I'll see about a couple pictures with my tripod in the dark.
philsbluerx8 10-11-2008, 11:01 PM i still havent received mine yet? would it be coming???i hope its gonna be here after this long weekend
05rex8 10-11-2008, 11:26 PM I installed mine yesterday...didn't get pics yet. They look great, but they are a lot deeper blue than my led's in my map lights and dome lights and courtesy lights....
All you guys with the blue ones....where did you get your leds from for the map, dome, and courtesy lights? And, do they match RR's footwell lights?
RyanX-8 10-11-2008, 11:29 PM mine seem to match well. I got my map lights from RXstrakes.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u146/Dashaggyman18/HPIM0437.jpg
05rex8 10-11-2008, 11:32 PM hmm...my footwell lights almost look more purple than my map lights, etc...
like they aren't as bright....maybe I will try the map lights from rx8 strakes. Do they have a dome light as well..the one in the back seat?
RyanX-8 10-11-2008, 11:35 PM Yeah they have the dome also.
ShellDude 10-11-2008, 11:55 PM here are some shots with the RR's footwell lights coupled with RX8Strakes super blue LEDs door and dome.
The dome light comes with the door light set (atleast mine did). My map lights are still conventional bulbs... and I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I want to convert them.

I think the ones I got were a combination of autolumination and v-leds leds
ShellDude 10-12-2008, 12:06 AM I believe each of mine (both dome and door) consisted of 6 LEDs each if that's what you're referring to.
RyanX-8 10-12-2008, 12:07 AM i ahve v leds on in my trunk, glove box, and side markers. :naughty:
ShellDude 10-12-2008, 12:08 AM aye... side markers too... but mine are super red instead of amber to illustrate the rebel I am :D
RyanX-8 10-12-2008, 12:14 AM Haha I had to keep with the blue.
3DZukini 10-13-2008, 11:36 AM I'm actually considering the Blacklight kit from RX8strakes, but I think it's way overpriced compared to the rest of their setups. Why is that? $40, it has 2 more bulbs than the $15 sets?
Rotary Rasp 10-13-2008, 01:14 PM Update:
I was making some sets this weekend and noticed that the resistors I got the other day were the wrong type.
Anyway, I shipped a few but there are 4 orders that haven't shipped because I ran out of resistors. I reordered the parts and should have them in a week or so. Sorry for the delay.
When I get home tonight I will check to see which 4 haven't shipped.

Rotary Rasp 10-14-2008, 11:30 AM 57d is in Switzerland
I'd rather no pictures of where the wires attach be posted because finding the correct wires was the hardest part of this project for me. When you buy my kit, you're not just buying the leds but also the directions to install them... think of it as intellectual property.
You will not see any loose wires and the car will appear stock. The dealer will not harass you about them. Lastly, if you decide to sell the car, these can be removed without any residual effects or marks.

Last year I spent the whole winter buying stuff from all over the world to have installed on my RX8 and to say this baby turned heads this summer would be an understatement. It's almost winter again so it's time to start stockpiling mods for spring installation. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I haven't installed a set on the Mazda3 yet. If you were local, I'd have you guys come over and install it for buddies.
On a side note, I do have directions for the Mazda6.

No, however, when I did the Mazda6 I found a way to do the parking light operation that would work on both cars and on the Mazda3.
If your friends when the footwells to come on with the head lights, then we should be able to work something out.

If there are any problems with the last shipment or problems with installation, please send me a PM and I will try to respond as soon as I can. It could be as long as a few days before you get a response.
I assure you that if there are any problems, they will be fully resolved in time. I ask the following of you guys: Please don't start a thread asking for help or complaining. Please don't post pictures of my installation guide or post your own pictures of where the wires are attached in the car.

My only concern is that RR said that I could remove it and 'return to stock', but there are wire splices - don't those cut the wires? Granted I'm not an electrical engineer, but I presume they've gotta make the connection somehow. I'd really hate to cut into these wires under my dash.

The splices don't cut the wires. They pierce the insulation to make contact with the copper wire. No damage is done and if removed there is barley any visible marks to the wire.

Jedi54 12-16-2008, 08:25 PM my driver's side lights are gonna need a little fixin'. I was looking down there this weekend and it looks like the circuit board broke in half. (although the lights still work) Might Micky mouse it a bit.
P.S. this is probably because I kicked the things since I think I'm using the original mounting location.
