Yeah, you guys missed alot towards the evening.
The garage was pretty much destroyed after we left. But we got the job done!

I still can't believe how huge those TE's are!

I just got back from trying to install the rear tailights on the Mazda6. And wouldn't you know it? They can't work on the car. I mean, they work fine. But the wiring on the 6 is so screwed up, if it doesn't detect enough resistence, it turns on all the lights in the back. Even the rear center brake light. So lessoned learned. You can't install LED lights on the rear tail lights of the Mazda6.
I basically wasted cash for the hell of it. Does anyone need 7440 rear tail lights?

Pros,
I took another look to see if I can find those 194 parking lights, and nothing. Somebody had to take them out of my car.

What a crazy weekend!

 

i think i monopolized the hole cursing and swearing thing. but the headscratching was shared by all. lol

i noticed on the way home that there is a road off of highway 5 called Rotary Way. How crazy is that? so who wants to go on a late night run tonight to steel this street sign, for the good of the club. we could chance scotts street into rotary way. haha. im sure after yestarday his neighbors would understand.

chris, whats a 7440? and cant you just use a resistor with the appropriate Ohms to make it work?

 

Greg,

7440 is the type of bulb the rear tail lights are on the 6. They're the same on my Miata and it should be the same on the 8.

Techincally, yes, if you add the resistor, it should work. However, that's something I'm not going to get into. This is only a 6. I'd understand if I wanted it to work on the 8 or Miata (which by the way, works fine without adding any resistors. Stupid Michigan made Mazda6!)

I can save 1 set as a backup, but there really isn't a need for me to keep the other set.

Anyone interested in buying it off me??

 

this would be the brake/runnign light bulb right?

 

None of us ate yesterday. We just kept munching on the chips and pretzels till 3 am.

 

You'll proabably need a warning light fix that vled has on their site. They said some cars need these.

 

Only took a couple of pics

 

Just great...fooking virus took me off the whole day and i ended up missing from both dealership and the meet $&$%^&

Congrats on all the mods done in "time"

Great showing indeed!

 

I didn't even know you were missing them Neo, I gave you all the lights when you got there. You sure you didn't place them somewhere else, or did they fall in between the seat and the center console?

 

Scott
I had an awesome time!
Mad Props to all the Chis's for helping me install my HID's!!!!!!

 

Pros,

Yeah, I tried looking everywhere.
I'm hoping on my way to work, maybe it'll just appear. I did search between the seats and center console. But I swear to you, it's not there.

wcs,
No worries buddy.

 

WCS how do you like your lights?

 

Forgot to mention that we came up with a a great solution for the plate on the front. There is a variation on it that I also want to experiment with. I will take some pics as soon as I can.

I took my car out a couple of times today and when walking back to it, I could think is damn, that MS kit is sexy!!!

 

Hey Thunder thanks for having me over I was wonder how is the clearance on the front with MS bumper now because I want to lower mine also.

 

^ Glad you could make it Chris.

Will measure clearance tomorrow. So far, no problems. Haven't encountered any speed bumps yet. Will report back more after a day or two of more driving

 

Scott, thanks for the hosting the meet. Sorry couldn't stay till the end. 3am? thats crazy!! the resolve of RX8 owners haha..

It was nice meeting all of you! Looking forward to the next meet.

 

Neo,

If those are the same LED's that we were looking at in the tail of the miata then i think i'm in. Let me know what you want for them.

Thanks

 

haha.. well... it's worked for others... only difference was that we didn't have a zip tie. When the twist tie snapped as I was twisting it tight I was starting to think that it wouldn't cut it. Zip ties for the win... What did you guys end up using?

 

Wish I knew...have zip ties in my tool case for those kind of things.

We WANT PICS!!!! Thunder


As requested.....

 

^ Nice pic Thumper

Will take some pics when it is not raining

 

Nice to meet you as well, gald you could make it. Planning any mods after seeing so many on the weekend?

 

WTM - Glad you made it out Al, first meet I have seen ya at. Thx a ton for always looking out for our safety #1 and for going over the safest way to mount wheels without the centering cap. I really appreciate (as I think everyone does) your contribution to our little community.


Canadian Girls DO do it better lol.
Boo to rain!!

 

Thumper,

I'd come out and give you a hand, i think i've mastered getting that silly metal guard out of the fogs after doing mine and Pros, but this weekend is going to be swamped for me...

If you want to do it the next weekend i should definately be able to give you a hand.

 

Thx man appreciate it!...no worries, believe Rev mentioned he will give me a hand this weekend, it's no rush, I was to busy with SS's and my wheels to get it done.

 

canadian girls FTMFW!
