This is a thread set up to see who wants what regarding LEDS for their cars. If I can get approval on a proper GB thread I will post it, but in the mean time those who are attending list what you want and I will post up options and from there we will figure out how to order.

Essentially we are looking at a deadline of next week, Wed.

Prospectjtaz:
6000K HIDs
Exterior Leds:
Parking Lights
Side Markers
Stealth Bulbs for Turns Signals front and Rear

Interior Leds:
Dome
Door
Rear


If you already know what you want, just list it.

UPDATE
Clear Corners, have a deal in the works, so dont worry about them.

Clear Corner Special:
51.30 plus tax for Original JDM Corners in CDN Dollars, with Warranty.

^ I'm in

Leds are gonna go thru Vled, since they now offer a 15% discount to us.

Just to pip in on this...

I've done most of my lights at this point and the LED parking lights and stealth bulbs make a huge difference in terms of how clean the car looks in my opinion. I highly recommend this for anyone who finds the light bright front with all the different colours annoying :)

I may be interested in the 6k HID's and the interior lights... gimme a PM with the details on pricing.

see more stuff to buy...aaaahhhh I want it ALL!!!

How are they offering 15% off now? Some special code at checkout?

"Rx8club" is the code at checkout you put in for the 15% discount

man....i really wanna get some HIDs to replace the hideous halogens my car has....but i dont think i wanna install them across the border, and i wont be able to sneak them back....oh well. i have a source here for around that price (CAD) anyways for HIDs.

As for the other lights, i might be in....I like those bulbs chris installed on your car when we were getting it running....what were those? those werent LEDs were they?

Greg.. they were 194 white LED's from VLED.

Greg.. they were 194 white LED's from VLED.

Those are your parking ones right?

What about your fogs? What are they? Too many to pick from :(

he got his fogs from Pmall

Jay, can't we get fogs too?

yes we can, we need H7 bulbs i believe

i'm looking at the hids first, the philips ones (best in the market) are expeensive, 220 for a set.

So confused, dont know what to get.... ahhhhhhhhhh

Alright so I figured out the Front Parking Light, Fogs and Side Markers for people that want to use 6000K HIDs instead of the stock HIDS.
Just looking for quaility but bang for your bucks 6000K HIDS.

As updated above PM me if you need sidemarkers also, I have an inhouse deal setting up tonight.

Which ones are the 6000??

and which fogs/parking?

The HIDS, your low beams are 6000 K

those are the fogs

these are the parking lights

What about your fogs? What are they? Too many to pick from :(

Yeah.. those were the parking lights... my fogs are from First Markham Place... cost about $25. Got the 4400k look a likes.

Actually no... I bought the License plate leds.. I didn't want to go insanely bright on those..

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/CornerSide-Marker-LED/White-LED/2-HID-WHITE-HIGH-POWER-p4481133-1-2.html

Ya I know you got those, I'm referring these ones as another solution.

I actually like the bright plate light.

Footman what are you using for your rear license light?

yes we can, we need H7 bulbs i believe

i'm looking at the hids first, the philips ones (best in the market) are expeensive, 220 for a set.

What is the difference between these expensive one's and the others?

Stupid question time, anyone know what the colour temp is on the stock HID headlights???

4400k....

Hmm, that means in order to have all the lights on the front end match they have to be changed as well... This is getting pricey.

Next dumb question, i'm eventually going to get the foot well LED kit in red, does anyone know if the interior dome, door, and back LED's from VLED come in a red colour??

What is the difference between these expensive one's and the others?

they will match the front headlights alot better and put out a lot more light.

Seeing as how we'll save on the shipping and the discount and I have seen pics of this setup, I am leaning towards those head lights.

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee35/Aipex8/Fogs/ledfog05.jpg

The fogs are pretty expensive, but think of it this way. Your only doing it once, and the new bulbs from vled have built in resistors. So they shouldn't burn out.

Yes vled carries red, Footman has the whole red light district theme going on.

I need to find this guys 8 picture, it's sickest light setup I have seen for our cars and thinking I don't want to spend money on it if I'm going to change it. The guy pmed me what he has but I can't seem to find it :(

Agreed, let's do it right

Looking forward to seeing the pic thumper.

Yeah.. those were the parking lights... my fogs are from First Markham Place... cost about $25. Got the 4400k look a likes.

What is the brand you got man"?

okay, forget it. im out. I havent had enough time to research this stuff on my own, and i just feel like im going with the grain instead of doing what i think is right. Ill sort out my lighting later on.

Just look up leds on the search and see what others have done. Its really simple. Learn from mistakes of others. As always I'm here to help. You can always just copy my setup for the interior, and go different for the exterior. My goal is clean white interior, and clean matching fogs and headlights, white with a tint of blue..

Same as you except I want to go with blue interior LED's.

How long will it take to install all of this and do we need certain tools to get it done?

doing the HIDs over there will be a time consuming affair, espcially if there are more than one. some of these HID kits need to be rewired slightly to work on certain vehicles. i know this from experience. its not a big deal, but it takes time. also, you'll need to remove the front bumper to do it all the right way. there is a perfect spot for the ballast to site right under the headlight (think the factory ballast sits here normally, i dont know because i dont have HIDs on mine, just a space) the other bulbs shouldnt be any big deal at all.

jay, i have my own way of researchign stuff. I like to take my time and really check everything out. i dont want to just look at pics of peoples cars and say "i like that, ill copy it". i like to make up my mind on my own and try my own stuff (but i also learn from others mistakes and read into what doesnt work). also, i feel to rushed to join in on your group buy. looks like i'll just have to suck it up and pay for shipping and duties when i decide to do my lighting. the interior stuff doesnt interest me. i dont often have interior lights on in my car so i dont want to spend any money on them.

Just need basic tools. If chris comes, maybe he can bring his mechanics set.

HIDs would be the only ones that take time, and some time for the interior.

Here's the pic, it's blue, but love the look! Oh and think it would look best on a silver or the gunmetal. Just my two cents.

Took me long enough to find the freakin guy lol.

Fair enough, Thunder, all we're doing is bulb swaps, since most of us have factory hids. All you do is pull the front fender liner back.

I can push the deadline to the monday of the week of April. I doubt it will take 2 weeks for them to deliver leds to the shop.

Just need basic tools. If chris comes, maybe he can bring his mechanics set.

I'm sure he will be bringing it (doesn't seem to leave his car), but I got first dibs on it for the install of my exhaust oh and Chris for that matter...lol jk. Luv ya Chris...:lol:

That's volcomxxx or something's car. Your ass is gonna get pulled over in Ontario with those lights.

I think those are 8000K

Are you getting your PRM today?

U R correct!! volcomx31. Really that illegal here?? but they are so nice!!

Are you getting your PRM today?

Freakin better be...supposed to be, installing tomorrow :)

Interior lights are so easy to do...
Clear corners also easy to do...
Front parking light and high beams also easy to do (but more challenging and will require thin small asian hands)....

my hands are neither small or asian. You just have to be good with em ;)

Hey Jay,
We talked a bit regarding this, and here's what I need.

2 orders of:
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/Parking-Light-LED/Red-LED/2-V-LEDS-RED-48-SMT-TURNBRAKE-p4835733-1-2.html

1 order of:

And 1 order of:

Thanks for giving me the heads up.

Clear Corners, have a deal in the works, so dont worry about them.
I want all lol... if you install them.. :) How much do they cost? Not sure on the colors yet.... Interior probably blue. Exterior white...

Footman: Do you have pics of your all red theme? I have blue and reds that look awesome together. Blues under the passenger and driver seat and red footwells... Time to do my other lights now...

Will these fit on our car: http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED/DomeMap-LED/White-LED/HID-WHITE-M-SMT-12-LED-p6283693.html I want red! I want my fogs done forsure also...

Yeah I got pics of my all red theme... give me your personal email. I'll forward them there.

Footman,

I'm thinking of going all red too, should look good with the copper red. think you can send me a pic of what yours look like? my email is kevinking@hotmail.com


THanks

yes, I'll send both of you pics of my red interior. I'm re-doing mine in April though. I found the ones I have now are not bright enough so I'm moving up to full SMT-LED technology as opposed to regular LEDs...

If you like subtle-ness and don't care for "readibility", then the setup I have is enough for you.

If you want to look like the red-light district in Amsterdam, which is what I'm going for... go with the SMT-LEDs when you choose your items.

Footman,

:lol::lol::lol: WAHAHAHAHAHA....

Where did he see me? I'm rarely in the west! and certainly not near Grimsby in awhile

LoL...not u... the other dude with the burgandy color...:lol: in Oakville...

So Leesha if you are ordering some, you coming on the cruise??

ah... that makes more sense Leesha...

lol, i havent done any exterior mods yet, just the standard rear spoiler and tinted windows.

Be careful Leesha

Yeah I got pics of my all red theme... give me your personal email. I'll forward them there.

First the same color car, and now requests, well demands for your personal email. I dont know, screams ...... STALKER!!!

Ok, i'm surrendering on this one and need some help!
Here is what i want to do, but need to make sure i order the right bulbs.

Exterior
Parking Lights
Fog Lights
Clear Corners
(currently have stock HID head lights, is it worth changing to 6000k bulbs?)
License Plate Lights
Brake lights (including centre 3rd light)

Interior
Dome Lights (red, SMT LED's)
Door Lights (red, SMT LED's)
Map lights (white, SMT LED's)
Footwell Lights (red)

anybody know what type of bulbs i should be ordering??? I hate asking for others to do my work for me, but i want to get it right and the Vled website does nothing but give me a headache!!

Help!:Eyecrazy:

Don't do any of your taillights in leds, they aren't bright enough. Rather be safe.

Your headlights can't be swapped for led, you just go with a higher K bulb.

I disagree with the tail lights assessment.

I got the 48 SMT 7440-7443 for my Miata. And they give off the exact amount (if not more) light than the stock bulb.
So now I have all my tail lights in LED's. They react faster and match my center brake LED light.

So no help or recommendations on what LEDs to order???:banghead::uhh:

I will help you. On the vled site now.

I'm on there too, trying to figure it out... don't know what the stock bulbs are, and don't want to take everything apart to find out!

Visit the sylvania site for the rx8 bulb code list, or just search it here. Threads will pop up with the bulb lists.

why not just order the same as pros? if you want a different colour get the same in a different colour! taadaa done :)

lol, that works too

im going white, i wouldnt be able to deal with red, would be like living in a dark room

Damn, why didnt i think of that!! well i think i partially figured it out and should have a list together tomorrow. I'll PM you with it then let me know if i'm on crack or it will work...

Failing that, i'll just copy you but in red on the interiors

sounds good

Anybody see any potential issues with the following setup?

Parking Lights 194_4_HP_W
Fog Lights H11_68_W
License Plate Lights 194_6_W_SHORT
Brake lights 7443_VSTAR_R

Turn Signals x2 7440_20_A

Door Lights (red, SMT LED's) 194_6F_R

BBAAAAHAHAHAHHA :lol2: Don't worry the rest of us will protect you :)

I'm moving in 3 days. I realized I've already packed away my external HDD where I store my photos. I'll send the pictures next week after I move and unpack. Hopefully, it's not too late.

example pics on an 8....

- parking lights are 194 white from vled's (license plate led)
- corner lights are 6 node white led from rx-8strakes

So I guess that i'm going to be ok with this setup? Still a little nervous about it though...

Im going through this now.

You might wanan go with a higher Festoon. And I dont think you need the load resistors. I will double check with someone else on that.

Did you wanna go red for your glovebox too? And what about footwell lights? Did you wanan do those too?

Updated first post on JDM/Clear Corner deal

BAH I want, can't have :(

What is a "Festoon"??????

I have a line of some footwell lights for $55 us shipped, but if you've got a better deal let me know and i'm in.

As for the glove box, red would be ideal i couldnt find any info on it so i left it.


Thanks for the help

:)

Festoon is DE3175.. it's your roof light.
You should go for the 16 M-SMT RED.

Glovebox is 194 size.. any bulb will do.

Thanks,

Pros, I'll go with Footman's recomendations.

Pros,

I'm also going to need the led's for the clear corners. I have the clears just not the led bulbs.

Thanks

Alright got my list up, I will post up my final list today.

WCS and Thunder said their going the same route as me. Just Thunder wants blue for the interior.

ZnFmZm I have your list.

I'll have to wait and see.
If not, I'll get one of you guys to pick up my order. ;)

For now, we're in! :cool:

I want in on the clear corners for sure, gotta check out the vled site for nething else!

Update!
As it turns out, the family is having a get together on Sun.

Wow. Such demands... gotta go to get some lights?! You guys are nuts! lol ;)

As I said, if the weather holds, I'll go. But if the weather is crap, I'll get Jay to bring back my order. :)

1 way or another, I'm finishing this light upgrade on the cars. I can't wait any longer.

Pros,

I'm in too!!!!

We're talking about a couple of lights. I'm not smuggling over a whole exhaust or intake! lol
Those lights can be hidden anywhere in the car. lol

You guys are funny.

I want a pair of the hid headlights, parking lights and clear corners! Also, r u still doing the group buy on the jdm clear corners?

Order just went in, should be there for Thursday, if not Friday, since UPS still delivers on Good Friday.

Sigh, you guys better bring the cash, the order that went in was for 955 USD.

and that excludes the money I paid for the HID's for four of us :)

As I said, I doubt I'll be able to make it since we're going to get together for a family dinner. I don't want to be rushing around and getting stuck unnessasarily.

Can someone please pickup my order? :cool:

Pros, Does that include the footwell leds???

Doesnt include the footwell lights. Guys have ben recommending the Rtoary Rasp or RX8 strakes site for footwell, we need to do a RX8strake buy soon for B-Pillar and Footwell

Leds got processed today, so they should be in by Friday. Since UPS delivers on Friday, and its a 3 day shipping I chose.

Update:

So I will contact vled and have them ship our contents up here instead now cause of the back order. I will also ask them to ship the front ambers along with it too.

RX8-2nv - If still interested PM and I will ask vled if they can add your order into the shipping too.

Wait a sec so we have to pay more 'cause of the customs now?

Wait a sec so we have to pay more 'cause of the customs now?

The order went through, originally and two items, clear corner bulbs for rx8thunder and wcs were on backorder. So their shipping those across.

However they ran out of stock of the front ambers, which weren't in the original order, well didn't get added in. I will talk to them and see what works best. Worst case scenario, I will get WCS to lug it back with him if he's okay with it. We also had a few defective bulbs, so pretty sure they will make it cheap for us some how.

V-LEDS got back to me. Asked me what else we wanted to order. As soon as the flank bulbs are in stock they will ship it together.

So far I have a two pairs of front ambers for rx8thunder and ZmFnZm. Hopefully they can ship them together in one package with no additional shipping charges.

Sounds good

ZmFNZm, or anyone, know how to use these LED strips fro VLED to act as footweel lights?

http://www.v-leds.com/Strip-Lights-LED/12-inch/sc244685-1-3//page/1/checkForLanding/true

As soon as the ambers come in stock I will pull the trigger on the order.

All LED's no matter whether they are footwell or whatever is the same... you have + and - polarity and that's all there is to it.

Mine was custom done by myself, it's extremely simple... 2 wires per LED strip.

What did you tap yours into? The courtesy lights right?

Do they dim also like the other lights?

Yes it dims, though all LED's will dim faster than incandescent bulbs due to their physics.
