Im going to change the interior lights to LED Blues. I just want to know if anyone else has done this and what tools i will need. will regular LEDs work also? i just dont want to F my car up since i just got it. but i think the blue will look good in there to match the exterior. any help with this would be great. thanks guys.

 

It has only been attempted by one very brave and smart member. His name is Search Function.

 

Here you go

 

*sigh* try superbrightleds.com

i ordered them today in uv blacklight...pretty good price and a couple of friends of mine have these bulbs they are really good. i ordered 3 courtesy lights and 1 dome light for $21 including shipping

*edit* and no you dont need any special tools...probably a flat head screwdriver and thats it

 

hey look i just noticed that superbrightleds has an ad on here....haha

 

Welcome to the internet... where they advertise for crap that you've mentioned in posts : P Seriously, if you check out a thread on tires for example you'd likely see a link to some : )

 

they are smart

 

lmao

 

sarcastic bunch tonight

 

Welcome to the iNt3|2n3T$ where there is sarcasm every night.

 

I did Blue, but it was kind of a disapointment - no matter how much power you put in, it's not 'bright' it just looks, well....blue.

I ended up with two ONE WATT leds in the maplights, and though looking at the leds themselves would take you retinas out, the light inside was never very satisfying......

Switched to some strong cool whites throughout, and now people parked alongside comment on how 'farkin brite' the inside lights up. I think I'll keep the whites.

(Tip - When you change the 194 type bulbs at the bottom of the door, it's too easy to push the whole socket back into the door, and that's the momma of all bitches to fish out.)

 

I have super white. They are really bright and ad a nice luxury look.

 

hahahahaha best post yet



make sure to post pics if and when you do it

Wait....


I already answered this in your OTHER thread about the exact same thing.

Awesome.............I nominate this for post of the year! Hands down!

May I have permission to use this please?

 

Superbrightleds.com suck IMO.
Try them and you will likely find that out.

 

i thought i deleted the other thread. i put it in the wrong page. sorry.

 

You should get the special pink light that they use in UK underpasses to emphasize the acne on your face. You and your special date will love it when you take the RX8 out at night.

 

lol wtf are you talking about? your mom and i are going to get things going in the day. we aren't waiting till night time...

 

I changed all mine- tools a screwdriver with microfiber cloth over the end of it. Oh also if you don't install the LED footwell kit it won't be very bright but in the end it does look very cool.

 

Hey now, no need to get your panties in a bunch. I only suggested valuable information for your lazy *** that refused to hit up our informative and extremely reputable member, Search Function.

 

which site do you guys thinks is good.. v led or superbrightleds or are the both have good fog light products?

 

^^^ another person who hasn't read my post or clicked on my link.

 

very nice!
its probably the easiest thing you can do

all you need is a flat head screw driver to pop off some of the cover and its a matter of pulling out the bulbs.

the only tricky one is the map lights.
that one requires removing a couple screws and then trying to pop off a tab which can be really tricky. but good luck and cahing to LED really makes the interior look clean.
