Lighted rear accent???

Dealer dude just told me that some guy has a rear rotary accent that lights up with the brake lights. I think that would be cool. Anybody know where I can get one of those?

I have the RX8Strakes stealth one and they used to sell them, but no longer do.

I don't know why they continue to have it on the website when they no longer sell them??????

Check the DIY section as several people have made their own.

Hi!

We kept the light on our web site as a way to gauge consumer interest. While we loved the product, we unfortunately had to discontinue it because of the expense to produce and difficulty with our supplier. However, all of the emails and message board comments spurred us into action to expedite the development of a new solution.

We've been working on a new offering and plan to make it available in the next few weeks.

I think we're a couple of weeks out from releasing it, but if you sign up for our email updates, we'll definitely send out an announcement once it's available.

To Mazurfer, you'll still be unique. This new version will be a bit different. :-)

Don't care what they charge, can't be anywhere as expensive as the OEM rear fog light. I'll just send heather a stack of cash and wait by my mailbox!

^........Yeah, I've seen that one....but to be honest...didn't like it.
My original from RX8strakes is the Stealth, so it's kinda CF looking when off. When lights are on, you get those 3 corner LED's coming on and then when brakes applied you get the ones at the center. With lights on and brakes you get both.

We haven't finalized a selling price for the new light, but it will be significantly less than the original.
