wow, approaching 13,000 views!

 

got mine today, thanks rasp for the custom color.
but no instructions... now i have to wait till tomorrow to install these bad boys.. NNNoooOO.. lol jk

 

Just finished installing them. It was a breeze, I'd say the only hard part was getting the wire through from the passenger to the driver side and making all the wires look oem and clean.. LOL jk jk

Great product Rasp..

Quick shot after install... 3500k Warm water white leds
Final judgement... looks clean with an oem color and feel to it.

 

just got mine installed! great product. Me being 15, electrically retarded, and clumsy...it took a bit longer than expected

first off i had never used splices, so that was a bit of an issue...didn't know u had to push the metal thing all the way down...yeah i know im retarded...but it went on great and they look AMAZING

buy from this guy, hes a great seller

 

Installed my lights. Just wanted to mention I put the lights on the Drivers side diagonally because it was too close to my steering & this is what went wrong the first time.

 

Hi I want one ^^ Red LED. Please PM me, I already PM u.

THanks,
Ken

 

yeah i ended up having only 1 led on the side where the steering column was, instead of having 2 on each side of the zip tie. still looks perfect tho

 

got them saturday...will instal with pics tomorow

 

ok they are now in but im havin poblems....they don seem to be as bright as others have posted in the pics....and i dont think they are wired correctly.

i wired them to turn on with the headlights..... my understanding is that they run as long as the headlights are on....but once the key is in and the car is running they turn off. i wanted them to continuously run with the headlights on, i figured this is the way everyone else had them on. i followed the directions but i think i might have messed up, any advice on how to correct this, and why are they dim?

 

"The brightness is exaggerated a little." - Rotary Rasp has already stated this previously, but its only a little. They light up real nice on my car.

 

Why did you have 2 on each side?

 

This is what mine look like...

 

Yes, you have it wired wrong.

Double check which wires you connected. Lastly, if you take some pictures and PM them to me I might be able to help you.

 

i will try my best to get pics up..i can give a discription for now as to how it is wired....


the positive wires are spliced onto the red/yellow wire i found on a harness which was more towards the top of the dash....the negative wire was spliced onto a blue black wire which was not on the same harness set as the red/yellow was on....it was on a seperate set of wires which was more towards te back by the clutch pedal....

on the red/yellow harness there was not blue/black wire together so i spliced it to the wire which was on the 2nd harness...at the time i thought it wouldnt make a differance. but now i see it must have...

 

because the instructions had 2 leds on each side of the zip tie, once i tied it up i just didnt feel comfortable leaving them about half and inch from the steering column

 

bump!

 

bump

 

i took some new pics, should have them uploaded maybe monday.

 

thanks for the trunk lights Rodger. very simple to install. just plug them right in, thats it. then place them where you want.

 

rodger, do you think the install for an 08 mazda 3 would be much different? my girlfriend is jealous of my LEDs . i'd probably stick them on with double sided tape or something cuz theres not really a spot for a wire tie but all i'm wondering about is the splices

 

I installed a set on a Mazda 6. It was not the same as the 8 install. Therefore, I can't recommend you do it unless you have some knowledge of how to trace out wires.

I did take pictures of the Mazda 6 install, so if anyone wants a set for their 6, no problem.

 

Some pics Rodger! Camera sucks, but oh well. Don't have good pics of how the rear lights up yet from a wide angle view.
On the pic labeled with text.........there is a tie wrap on the other side as well, just didn't know it was obscured until after I took the pic.
Oh yeah, and that strange looking thing on my center console above the A/C controls is apparently some sort of reflection of my garage roof through the windshield.

 

bumpety bump!

Funny story: I was routing some new electrical wires through the cab on Saturday and when I went to zip tie them down, I was BLINDED!!!! If your'e going to be working near the pedals, I suggest waiting for the lights to go off.

yeah, my buddy laughed at me when I randomly started swearing at my car.
