Hey guys the only mod i want to do now is change the fog lights and turn signal lights and license plate light into the same color as the xenon head lights. I was just wondering if theres anything else i need to do besides buying the bulbs? Also does anyone know the number i need for the change? i searched i got 194 and a bunch of other numbers, just want to make sure, thanks.


Turn signal light: # ?
Fog Light: # ?
License Plate Light: # ?

Never fear, Jedi is here!

achieving the desired look should be pretty simple since most of the ligts you want to change can accept 'plug and play' bulbs. (no wire cutting, splicing, etc needed)


Turn Signal: (7440) what are you looking to put in here? You could go with a PIAA type bulbs which should be a bright white color. I changed my blinkers to 'stealth bulbs' ie; they have a chrome look to the outside but blink Amber when in use.
Fog Lights: (H11) I have a set of bulbs from http://www.hoen-usa.com/fog.htm which I think work VERY well. (pic included at the bottom)
License Plate: (194) http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/C...81133-1-2.html



Here is a popular thread with some great suggestions in the 1st post for what bulbs to use. https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/new-leds-wow-bright-158590/




Here's my fog lights.

well my clear corners have the stealth bulb I can live with that. But everything else in the front i would like to have the same color has the stock headlights if you know what i mean. Like that xenon blueish white.

check out the link in my last post, the guy who started that thread has changed out all his bulbs and I think that's the look you're going for.

RedRocket8

thanks jedi thats actually the exact look i was going for. With regards to the turn signals i dont want to change the back because i think in NJ its illegal to change the back. I just want to change the front lights exactly how it is on yours. thanks for all the help really appreciate it.

Yea, I just bought some lights for my fogs, parking lights, and side markers. I bought an LED light for my license plate but it doesn't light up.. Ghey..

^.......+1.
Put the old bulb back in, if it lights then you either have a bad LED or in backwards. Yes....it can matter!
Jedi54 runs very close to what I have......for the most part.

My list......however, I'm sure a lot of the links are bad now, but I think you will get the idea.

Parking lights.......white 6 LEDs http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

Clear Corners.......white 6 LEDs http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

Footwells, have two blue LED circuit boards each side(driver and passenger), these are a little more subtle that what you've probably seen.

Under the front seats(near the rear), I have RR's blue circuit boards tied into the Courtesy and Footwells above.

I've changed all my LEDs (again) so I need to post an updated list soon.

Mazurfer

^........me too! I was just lazy and put up the old list!
Thinking you are probably using VLED's still for the most part right?

RotaryP7

Yea, both sides.. It's weird. I first bought the LED to replace the old bulb since it stopped working for some reason. And I'm still getting no light there.. I made a thread about it. I'll need to check the wires I guess in the trunk..

anyone has experience w/ rx-fx (rx8strakes)'s fog light bulbs? they're 1/2 the price of hoens
