Got mine installed. I actually removed the LED array from the clear housing that was provided and installed it into the stock housing. I like the serrated plastic that the stock housing has and it has a better gasket and fits better. I was surprised at how bright it is. Maybe twice as bright as the stock light. Very nice. Now I need to LEDize my 4th brake light. A few pics (just a few... it's freezing out!)

I bought the smoked one 
it's sitting in my garage
what I meant was if the oem housing fits better, than Aipex8's idea is the way to go...and easy to tint it if smoke is wanted

Received mine today, should have it installed sometime next week. I probably won't post pics, as it will just look like the other Ti-gray 8's, but first impression is that this is product well worth the money..... Thanks for setting this up Saki!!

mine came in today too... another tit gray so I probably won't bother with pictures either... still on the fence about which assembly to go with and since it's 30 degrees out I'm not in a big hurry to decide. Maybe Sunday for install if it's not too cold.

Clearly these are very bright, and I do like the safety advantage of having a brake light that comes on instantly instead of having a quarter to eighth second hesitation as the incandescent filament heats up (maybe it's actually less than that; but that's what it seems like to me); but I couldn't see in the discussion (and I did use the search function for the words voltage and regulation) if there is any circuitry to protect the LEDs from normally occurring voltage variations in the RX-8's electrical system. In reading up on the tail lights that Rotary Rasp used to produce, I noticed that RR went to considerable effort to protect LEDs from voltage variations to ensure their long life. Is there anything similar in these?

So, in the months ahead if we find "fail", for me it will be a matter of making a visit to v-leds, picking out a nice multi-angle, multi-led, regulated LED, gutting the new clear housing (the stock is red), and going back to the old connector.
yeah, I know... I'm rambling.
