Installing "Cool White" LED'S tonight!
 
I am installing LED'S in all interior places of my car, and also the parking lights and side markers will be replaced with leds!

I highly reccomend www.superbrightleds.com to whoever is interested in making the swap!

Well if you're going to start a whole new thread about something that a lot of people have done before, you better post pics or you're lame.

Can't wait to see pics. I have been looking at rx8strakes to get the LEDs for the interior and parking lights.

does not play well with the circuit that the other brake lights are on..

this was an issue that happened and was talked about in 05.. it is a know issue.. but almost impossible to find on a search..

but you can try it.. if if fails, take it out.. ;)

just tossing some old knowledge out to help...

not sure of year an mileage.

but they might get replaced for free. if not you gust have to dry them out, and get the new gaskets that seal..

big money savings.. :)

Hmm, what would I rather do: Drill holes into my taillights and leave them even more open to the elements, or have the dealership replace them with properly sealed taillights under warranty? That's a real tough decision...

^guessing he means if warranty is up!
