Hey guys the bulb or bulbs have gone out on the passenger side tail light. Its not the primary bulb or the turning signal bulb. It's the the tiny little bulbs that streak across the side.

I tried doing a search for them on the forums and over the net but could not find anything. Anyone know what they are called/part #?

Will look it up but..........I believe they are LED's and supposedly not replaceable.
There is a thread that discusses them, but I can't even remember enough to tell you what to use as search terms. Maybe "rear side markers"??????

ouch that is poor news if i have to replace the whole cluster. I may choose just to ignore it then haha

thanks for the info though

Look here (http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=214264&chapter=&Sectionids=0,2827&groupid=4282&subgroupid=9455&componentid=0&make=22&model=RX-8&year=2004&graphicID=5455660&callout=6&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0) and the Owner's Manual.

Think you mis-read which lights he's taking about????????

Please enlighten me with a diagram or picture :).

Okay, I get it - had to go look at my car.

Since they don't show those two small bulbs or LEDs that are at the outer edges of the Rear Combination Light assembly (http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=214264&chapter=&Sectionids=0,2827&groupid=4282&subgroupid=4500&componentid=79148&make=22&model=RX-8&year=2004&graphicID=5455660&callout=1&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0), that whole thing may have to be replaced - ouch.

On this page (http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=214264&chapter=&sectionids=0,2827&groupid=4282&subgroupid=4500&make=22&model=RX-8&year=2004&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0), any idea what they mean by "special tuned suspension"?

Non problem. I was pretty sure you have to buy the whole damn assembly or really get in there and take it all apart to TRY and get at them.

On the other question. No, I have no Earthly idea at the moment. I did click your link and look at that page last night and saw that as an option to select. I really have idea why they have them that way.

what a silly little light. I definitely don't miss the flares. It is just a little wierd since the car looks unbalanced at night.

Def not paying 300 bucks for another assembly...

cookie, check out post # 29 & 30 in this thread (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=114910).

not fixable

Well, it might be if it's a loose wire and not the LED's strips themselves. Think that's what "rx8cited" was talking about.

It would probably bug me enouogh that I'd have to drop the cash if they were bad.....but that's just me.
