Exclamation parking light help

okay so i want to buy the led parking lights for my 2004 rx8 from rotaryx: http://www.rotaryfx.com/product_p/lig1023.htm

my question is if i buy the 9 led will i need to convert something or can i just slap it on and if i do need to convert ill just buy the 6 led, but will the 6 led look good?

edit: btw im a noob at this so dont flame me but im waiting to order them right now just dont know which one...

Nah u don't need to convert anything jus plug n play my friend!
Usually u have to use a converter for turn signals cuz they will blink alot faster without it

haha, im not gonna flame you :P when you turn your lights on do they "power up" for a few seconds? it looks to me from your avatar pic that you have a gt, if so, then you have the HID's. Is your car a gt?

ok, well you might not have them then, does it sound like they are powering up when you turn them on like i said before? or do they just instantly turn on? If your not sure turn them on in your garage (if you have one) and if you have the HIDs you will hear them turning on.
