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!

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.

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